The Wausau School District board approved multiple routine and program items during its July 8, 2024, meeting.
Items approved on the consent agenda included personnel appointments and separations, minutes from June sessions, payment of bills, the budget status and investment report, and donations from Quick Trip and the American Online Giving Foundation.
The board approved 95% design documents as presented for Horusman Middle School and Monori to be issued for competitive bidding and accepted the proposed three‑year School Resource Officer contract beginning July 1, 2024. The board also adopted Frog Street as the 4K core curriculum for full implementation in fall 2024–25, approved an alternative graduation pathway for displaced multilingual learners, and approved the activities code handbook for Wasau West and Wasau East high schools for the 2024–25 school year.
Administrators also presented proposed changes to the employee handbook for the 2024–25 year and the board approved those changes; the vote recorded one abstention. The board approved WIA membership renewals for middle and high schools.
During the academic standards presentation, a board member asked whether AP Microeconomics satisfies the state’s financial literacy graduation requirement; administrators said the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) sets acceptance and that administration would investigate whether AP Micro could be accepted in place of a separate economics course.
The meeting concluded with a motion to move into closed session for consultation with legal counsel regarding potential litigation.
