Board schedules foreign-exchange approvals, audit vendor recommendation and minor calendar change for consent agenda
Summary
The board placed several routine items on the upcoming consent agenda: a staff recommendation to contract CliftonLarsonAllen for district audit services, approval of roughly 10 foreign-exchange students for 2026-27, and a minor adjustment adding three minutes to both the start and end of each school day to meet state instructional-hour requirements.
At the March 2 work session the Racine Unified School Board previewed several items that will appear on the consent agenda at the next business meeting.
Audit vendor: Mr. Serk said the district's RFP 26-001 for auditing services received two responses. After evaluation, staff recommended CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA) with an evaluation score of 99 out of 100 and a proposed three-year contract. A board member confirmed CLA is the current auditor and said staff is comfortable with the recommendation.
Foreign exchange: Miss Rickers presented the certified list of foreign-exchange programs that met district criteria. She said about 10 exchange students are expected this year and that students are typically assigned to the host-family boundary school; exact sending countries were not specified.
School day minutes: Miss Hansstead reviewed the 2026-27 calendar; because previously approved early-release Wednesdays reduced total instructional minutes, administration proposed adding three minutes to the start and three minutes to the end of each school day (six minutes total) to meet Wisconsin instructional requirements cited in the meeting. Board members discussed transportation impacts and asked for implementation details; the change will be placed on the consent agenda.
All three items were moved to the consent agenda for the upcoming business meeting without debate during the work session.
