Shawano board approves consent agenda, names Taher food-service provider and clears field trip and open-enrollment requests
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda including financial receipts and donations, selected Taher as the district food-service provider, approved 17 open-enrollment applications, and authorized a 2026 Boston field trip for middle-school students.
At its May 12 meeting the Shawano School District board approved a package of routine and programmatic actions including the consent agenda, vendor selection for food service, open-enrollment approvals and an out-of-state student trip.
The consent agenda passed on a voice vote and included approval of the April 14, 2025 minutes; receipts totaling $6,421,317; vouchers totaling $2,766,694; and several donations (Elizabeth Street Business Complex $2,500 to offset student portion of an SCHS Trees for Tomorrow trip; Stock Market donations of $200 to DI Globals and $500 to SCHS FBLA; and a $1,000 rock donation from Boivin Excavating for Hillcrest parking-lot drainage repairs).
Kurt Krizan described the DPI (Department of Public Instruction) process the district followed to select a food-service vendor and reported that Taher was the recommended provider. Mrs. Lemerond moved to approve Taher as the district food-service provider; Mrs. Houston seconded and the motion carried on a unanimous vote.
Cory Kaisler summarized 17 open-enrollment applications for the 2025–26 school year (14 new applicants and three current students who have moved out of district). The board approved the open-enrollment applications as presented so district staff can notify families. The board also approved an out-of-state field trip for SCMS 7th and 8th graders to Boston in April 2026 for history and cultural education (motion by Christine McKinnies, second by Bobbi Lemerond).
Jeana Winslow volunteered to serve as the district delegate to the CESA 8 annual convention. The board then proceeded to discussion of future agenda items and adjourned to closed session for the superintendent evaluation.
