The Sturgeon Bay School District board approved a lengthy consent agenda Wednesday that included donations, personnel actions, handbook adoptions and vendor-contract renewals.
Highlights from the consent agenda approved by voice vote include:

- Personnel and handbooks: Multiple personnel actions and handbook approvals across Sunrise, Sawyer, TJ Walker Middle School and Sturgeon Bay High School (student and faculty handbooks, special education policies and the at-risk plan). The board approved recommended teacher hires, including Emily Elberg (third grade, one-year contract) and Abby Lenius (fourth grade), and coach/advisor appointments for the 2026-27 school year.
- Athletics and activities: Appointments approved for volleyball, soccer and fall cheer coaching and advisor roles; overnight trip approvals for 2026-27 athletic schedules were included for planning purposes.
