Janesville board appoints Colton Meer to one-year seat and approves 2026'027 staffing plan
Summary
The Janesville School District Board of Education unanimously approved filling a one-year vacancy with Colton Meer and voted 8-0 to adopt the district's 2026'027 staffing plan. Both actions were routine and passed without dissent.
The Janesville School District Board of Education unanimously approved two routine items Monday: the appointment of Colton Meer to a one-year board vacancy and adoption of the district's 2026'027 staffing plan.
A three-person selection committee that included Greg Arrey and Lisa Hera reviewed two applicants and recommended Colton Meer to fill the seat vacated by Susan Johnson. The board voted electronically and the appointment passed 8-0.
The board then considered the district's staffing plan for the 2026'027 school year. After a short presentation, a trustee moved to approve the staffing plan; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously, 8-0. The board noted the full staffing presentation is available in the district's PPC meeting materials for members of the public who want further details.
Both approvals were procedural and required no further conditions. The appointment is effective immediately and will run for the one-year remainder of the term, as described by the committee when making its recommendation. The staffing plan vote authorizes district administration to implement the staffing allocations described in the board packet for 2026'027.
Meeting materials indicate additional budget and staffing details are available in the board packet and at the PPC meeting recording; trustees said they will follow up with administration if they need further clarification before implementation.
