Summary
The Platteville School District board approved the 2026–27 employee handbook, accepted a staff retirement, approved early college credit applications, and unanimously forwarded Linda Mulroy’s nomination for the vacant board seat to be voted on at the next meeting.
At its March 11, 2026 meeting, the Platteville School District board approved several personnel and policy items following voice votes.
Employee handbook: The board reviewed recommended changes to the 2026–27 district employee handbook, including corrected insurance language, added language addressing non‑contract hourly/paraprofessional staff during emergency closings, and an explicit exclusion of the 2026–27 salary schedule pending final health insurance decisions. After discussion, a motion to approve the 2026–27 employee handbook "as presented" passed by voice vote.
Personnel: The board approved the retirement of Lori Gerky, lead food service at the high school, noting she retires in good standing and qualifies for district retirement benefits. The motion carried by voice vote.
Board vacancy: Following the resignation that created the vacancy, the district posted the opening and received one applicant. Linda Mulroy introduced herself to the board, describing a 38‑year career in higher education (including 34 years at UW Platteville, most recently as executive director of student life and development), oversight of a multi‑million dollar budget, crisis response experience, and ongoing community engagement. The board moved to nominate Mulroy to fill the vacant seat and approved forwarding her nomination for a formal vote at the next school board meeting.
Early college credit: The board also approved fall Early College Credit Program/SCN applications and related extension activities. A board member referenced roughly $57,000 of program support for a breadth of student opportunities; the transcript records that figure conversationally and formatting was not precise.
