Cedarburg School District committee names chair, approves budgets, insurance renewals and personnel changes
Summary
At its June 11 meeting, the Cedarburg School District Personnel & Finance Committee named Kate Noetzel chair (2–1) and approved 2024–25 budget revisions, 2025–26 insurance renewals, the 2025–26 preliminary budget, staff handbook revisions, summer replacement contracts and a CPAC facility-use agreement.
The Cedarburg School District Personnel & Finance Committee met June 11 in the district boardroom and took a series of administrative actions that the full school board will review.
Kate Noetzel, a committee member, was nominated and elected Personnel & Finance Committee Chair in a 2–1 vote after Laura Stroebel moved to nominate her and Kate Erickson voted no. The nomination came early in the meeting and established the committee’s leadership for upcoming agenda items.
Kim Zabel, the district’s director of business services, presented several budget and insurance items. The committee approved revisions to the 2024–25 budget and unanimously approved the district’s 2025–26 general insurance renewals; both measures will be forwarded to the full Board for final action.
On the 2025–26 Preliminary Budget, Zabel presented the proposed document and Mrs. Noetzel moved to forward the Preliminary Budget to the full Board. Mrs. Stroebel proposed an amendment to remove line 27 from the Preliminary Budget worksheet but later rescinded that amendment after discussion; the committee noted that the worksheet is not part of the Preliminary Budget itself. The main motion to forward the 2025–26 Preliminary Budget passed unanimously.
Dr. Jeridon Clark, the district superintendent, presented proposed revisions to the 2025–26 Support and Exempt Staff Handbook. The committee approved the changes, as amended in the motion, which add explicit contact information fields for email and phone in the workers’ compensation coverage and reporting responsibilities section and modify vacation language to specify that the “8th Year of Employment” reads as “8th+ Years of Employment.” The committee forwarded the handbook revisions to the full Board for approval.
The committee also approved a motion to allow teacher and administrator contracts to be extended over the summer to the best candidates to fill vacancies that arise during that period; members directed that those decisions be forwarded to the full Board. Separately, the committee approved the 2025 CPAC, Inc. Facility Use Agreement and will forward that contract to the full Board.
The committee set its next meeting for September 10, 2025, and adjourned at 7:44 p.m.
