Board opens teacher wage negotiations, discusses event alcohol exception and introduces new finance director
Summary
The board moved to open base wage negotiations with the teachers’ association, discussed an alcohol-on-premises exception for a June celebration (insurer to be arranged), and introduced Tyler Holcomb as the incoming Director of Finance and Business Services.
At the March 23 meeting the board authorized staff to begin base wage negotiations with the Onalaska Education Association so negotiated wage language can be included in upcoming contracts.
Superintendent Ben Shreveport said the district would like to "get going on" negotiations and a board member moved to open those talks; the motion was seconded. The meeting transcript records the motion but does not include a final vote tally in the excerpt.
Board members also reviewed plans for the community’s milestone celebration on June 27 and discussed an exception to district policy that allows alcohol on school property with board approval. A task-force representative said the event organizers would handle insurance and suggested a district-affiliated group could staff sales and keep proceeds. Presenters noted the policy change under consideration would be limited to this special event.
During the consent portion of the meeting the superintendent introduced Tyler Holcomb as the district’s newly selected Director of Finance and Business Services. Holcomb thanked the board and said he looks forward to working with the district; presenters said he will transition into the role to ensure continuity with the outgoing finance director.
The transcript captures motions and introductions; specific vote outcomes were not included in the excerpt provided.
