New Berlin board approves personnel actions, policy update and green-lights track project plan
Loading...
Summary
The New Berlin School District board approved a Neola policy update, confirmed employment-services actions and a preliminary nonrenewal, and heard that two track replacements at Eisenhower and West may cost about $300,000 each and would be paid from fund balance if the board approves work this summer.
The New Berlin School District board approved several routine and personnel items and received a cost update on two planned track replacements at its meeting.
On the consent agenda the board approved minutes, field trips including West DECA’s ICDC and other trip requests, and cooperative arrangements for boys lacrosse. The board then approved the Neola policy update 35-1 — described by administration as a package of revisions affecting 21 policies to keep the district legally compliant — on its second reading.
Two items discussed in closed session were reported out and approved in open session. The board approved the employment services report (motion moved by Miss Spindler, second by Miss Crosby) and approved a preliminary notice of intent to nonrenew (motion recorded as by Mister Zielinski, second by Mister Seidel); the chair announced both motions passed.
Administration also briefed the board on two track replacement projects at Eisenhower and West that had been in long-range planning. The administration said previous planning estimates had been about $1,000,000 per track, but recent borings and a more detailed study indicate the work will likely be closer to $300,000 per track. The administration told the board it will seek approval at the next meeting to proceed this summer and said the cost would come from the district’s fund balance rather than fund 41.
The board set future meeting dates (April 27; May 11; May 26) and closed by approving a motion to adjourn.
Recorded motions and outcomes at this meeting included approval of the consent agenda, adoption of Neola policy update 35-1, approval of the employment services report, and approval of a preliminary notice of intent to nonrenew. The meeting transcript records the motions and the chair’s announcement that each motion passed; individual roll-call tallies are recorded for the closed-session entry that moved the board into closed session earlier in the evening.
