The Browerville Public School District Board of Education met Aug. 12 and approved a wide-ranging consent agenda that included minutes, numerous policy actions, vendor claims totaling $1,444,115.39 and several standalone motions affecting operations and facilities.
The board, chaired by Bob Bryniarski, approved the consent agenda on a motion by Keith Noska and seconded by Gram Bentz that added a resolution calling for the Nov. 5 school election.

Personnel actions included approval of hires recommended by the administration. On a motion by Keith Noska, seconded by Marty Host, the board hired Rachel Dreher and Chelsea Line as paraprofessionals and Daihana Batista as an interpreter.
The board approved food-service vendors for the 2024–25 school year: Pan-O-Gold for bread and bakery products and Stoney Creek–Melrose for milk, on a motion by Jodi Hillmer and seconded by Gram Bentz.
Several other procedural motions carried without recorded roll-call votes, including district participation in the 2024–25 Community Concern for Youth Program, setting the November board meeting for Nov. 14 at 6:00 P.M., and approval of the district cell-phone policy and the Tiger Handbook for the coming year.
