The Mukwonago School District board voted on multiple motions during its June 15 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Hires and resignations: The board approved the personnel items presented (including hiring Amanda Brousett as an art teacher at MHS and accepting resignations from Tiffany Crab and Lauren Lumpky). The motion passed by voice vote.
- 4K curriculum adoption: The board approved the Every Child Ready curriculum for the district's 4K program after a committee presentation. Motion passed by voice vote.
- Veterans memorial site enhancements: The board approved preparing the Park View site for a veterans memorial, including a widened walking path and foundations. Staff estimated the overall project in the "ballpark" of $500,000, and board members clarified that the veterans groups will fund the granite monuments themselves; some contractors have offered donated labor.
- Policies: The board approved a batch of policy updates that had been on the agenda for multiple meetings.
- Student services restructure: The board approved a reorganization that promotes Jen Tyson to assistant director of student services (effective July 1) and eliminates one administrative position; staff estimated annual savings of about $15,000.
- Student fees: The student fee schedule for the upcoming year was approved.
- Preliminary budget and tax levy: The board adopted the preliminary 2026-27 budget and preliminary tax levy to present at the annual meeting; the final budget will be adopted in October.
- Shared-services agreement: The board approved a 66.0301 intergovernmental resolution to provide a teacher of students with visual impairments to the Wawaossa School District on a cost-reimbursed basis. Maguano (the district) retains employment responsibilities while Wawaossa reimburses agreed costs.
- Compensation: In closed session the board approved a 2.63% cost-of-living increase for support staff, pupil services staff, district office staff and other professional staff; the motion passed in closed session and was announced on return.
Most motions were passed by voice vote; several were seconded. The meeting record shows motions and seconds for named items but does not always report a roll-call tally for every approval.
