Board approves several administrative hires, consent items and the virtual academy transition
Summary
The board approved multiple consent items including the transition of Wauwatosa Virtual Academy from a charter to a district instructional program, and ratified administrative contracts for new leaders at pupil & family supports and several elementary schools.
The Wauwatosa School District Board approved a set of consent items and administrative contracts at its March 23 meeting.
Key approvals included a resolution to transition the Wauwatosa Virtual Academy from a charter school into a district instructional program. Board members spoke in favor of recognizing the virtual program's successes while retaining ties to home schools.
Personnel actions approved by roll call included an administrative contract for Stacy Clem as chief of pupil and family supports (effective July 1, 2026; 229 days; annual salary cited as $172,000), Patrick Kriegel as principal of Roosevelt Elementary (effective July 1, 2026; 229 days; salary cited as $113,000), and Steve Spiro as principal at McKinley Elementary (effective July 1, 2026; 229 days; salary cited as $110,000). The superintendent and human resources staff introduced each motion and the board voted to approve them on the consent agenda.
During consent‑agenda discussion members also asked for improved transparency on vendor hourly rates and asked staff to consider policy language that would flag high hourly cost services earlier in the procurement process.
Next steps: The approved hires will take effect on July 1, 2026. The board asked staff to provide follow‑up materials where members requested more budget detail on facilitator contracts and to review policy language for vendor thresholds.
