Green Bay Area school board OKs land-exchange talks, awards three construction contracts and approves personnel actions
Summary
At a Feb. 5 special meeting, the Green Bay Area Public School District board authorized negotiations on a land-exchange with the city, awarded three bids (totaling about $1.798 million), and approved resignations, retirements and new hires; all motions carried.
Chair Laura opened the Green Bay Area Public School District special board meeting on Feb. 5, 2025, and the board completed a series of action items including authorization for land-exchange negotiations with the city and several contract awards.
The board voted to authorize the district to enter negotiations with the city of Green Bay on a land-exchange agreement after a motion from Board member Bryan and a second from Rick. Clerk Kinsey recorded members’ assent; the chair noted a thumb-up from Lee to register his vote because of audio difficulties.
The board awarded a $377,000 window-replacement contract at Howe Elementary Community School to Luke's Incorporated and a $976,820 window-replacement contract at Sullivan Elementary School to Luke's Incorporated, both motions moved by Bryan and seconded by Rick. The board also approved a $445,000 contract for new bleachers at Southwest High School to Goodson Company. Board members commented that recent bleacher replacements at East had improved the gym’s appearance and function; Board member Bryan said the same upgrade should “look nice at Southwest,” and Chair Laura noted seeing the East installation at a recent game.
The board approved several personnel items presented as grouped motions: resignations, retirements and employment of staff. Each motion was moved and seconded and the board recorded assent for adoption.
All motions were carried during the meeting’s recorded roll-call votes or via the thumbs-up method noted for the member with audio issues. The meeting adjourned after members completed the agenda.
What the board approved at a glance: the district will begin negotiations with the city on a land-exchange; Luke's Incorporated received two window-replacement contracts totaling $1,353,820; Goodson Company received a $445,000 bleacher contract; and grouped personnel actions (resignations, retirements, new hires) were approved. No formal opposing votes were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The board did not provide additional public detail in the meeting on timelines for the land-exchange negotiations or on specific hires and retirements; those items were presented "as presented" and further documentation (agenda packet or subsequent minutes) was not included in the transcript.
