Holmen district to consider MOU with CASA for Kids to provide in-school advocates
Summary
The district presented a proposed memorandum of understanding with CASA for Kids to allow CASA volunteers to work directly in district buildings and share information with staff, with the MOU placed on the March 23 consent agenda for approval.
Holmen School District staff told the board on March 9 they will present a memorandum of understanding with CASA for Kids (Court Appointed Special Advocates) on the March 23 consent agenda to allow CASA volunteers to work directly in district buildings and share information with staff to support students involved in custody matters.
Jill Mason, executive director of student services, described the proposed agreement: "This is a recent MOU, with Casa for kids... they're asking if they can work with us directly in the building or collaboratively with our staff. We've been working with Casa kind of on the outlying pieces. But now they're asking if they can work with us directly in the building or collaboratively with our staff... we're excited about that partnership." Mason said the district seeks permission to share information with the organization "so that we can do what's best for our kiddos."
Mason told the board the MOU will appear on the March 23 consent agenda; the board did not vote on the agreement at the March 9 meeting. No specific legal citations or contract details were provided during the presentation. The board had no questions at the time, and Mason closed the presentation by thanking members for their time.
