Antigo board approves consent agenda, new positions and early‑college applications
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda including financial reports, approved a new middle‑school agriculture teacher and an administrative assistant at John H. Bradley Elementary, and authorized Stark College Now early‑college credit applications for fall 2026; NEOLA policy 5136 was pulled for further review.
The Unified School District of Antigo board approved routine consent items and several personnel and program requests Tuesday.
The board approved the consent agenda (minutes, financial reports and current bills totaling roughly $850,970.29 across listed check ranges and transfers). Trustees approved a new full‑time agricultural technical education teacher at Antigo Middle School for 2026–27, citing the position as a feeder strategy to boost high‑school CTE participation. They also approved an additional building administrative assistant for John H. Bradley Elementary to support the new school’s opening.
The board authorized Stark College Now/Early College Credit (ECCP) applications for fall 2026 after administration presented growth in student participation and a list of proposed courses. Administration said DPI does not centrally collect early‑college‑credit participation by college, and staff are working to ensure correct reporting.
During a first reading of NEOLA policy volume 35, number 1, trustees discussed policy 5136 (personal communication devices). The board voted to remove 5136 from the packet and send it back to the curriculum committee for further work; the remainder of the NEOLA packet was approved on first reading, with Dr. Bardau recorded as abstaining from the package vote.
What’s next: Policy 5136 will be reworked by curriculum committee before returning to the board; HR and operational follow‑ups will occur where committees recommended.
