Solon Springs board approves maintenance project priorities, early‑college credits and fundraiser; moves to closed session on personnel
Summary
Trustees approved recommended maintenance projects for 2025–2026, accepted early‑college credit paperwork, removed a half‑credit business graduation requirement, approved a 3‑on‑3 fundraiser, and voted to convene to closed session to discuss employment matters under Wisconsin statutes.
At its March 24 meeting the Solon Springs School District board approved a package of routine but consequential items: recommended maintenance projects from the ad hoc maintenance committee, early‑college credit paperwork, a change to the business class graduation requirement, and a 3‑on‑3 basketball fundraiser. The board then voted to move into closed session to discuss personnel matters.
The ad hoc maintenance committee presented prioritized maintenance work for 2025–2026 and the board approved the list, with the superintendent noting the district will attempt to address priorities this year as maintenance funds allow. The board also discussed a USDA grant process connected to some projects; the superintendent said the first level of the USDA application had passed and that the district was "on the list" pending the second level.
Separately, the board confirmed early college/dual‑credit forms that were filed before the March 1 deadline and approved those credits. Trustees agreed to remove the 0.5 credit business/computer application requirement from the handbook for graduating classes referenced in discussion and approved the handbook change. A motion to approve a 3‑on‑3 basketball fundraiser to support the Wolf Ridge experience was also adopted.
Finally, the board approved a motion to convene in closed session "pursuant to Wisconsin statutes 18 through 19.851 c to consider employment, promotion, and compensation and to perform evaluations of public employees," a motion that passed on voice vote; the board recessed for a short break before the closed session.
