Williams Bay annual meeting elects chair, approves levy, board salaries and 2025 meeting date
Summary
At the Williams Bay School District annual meeting the assembly elected Darla Thiel to preside, approved a $9,994,733 levy by unanimous voice vote, set board salaries, authorized the 2025 annual meeting date and adjourned.
The Williams Bay School District annual meeting elected Darla Thiel to preside and approved several routine governance items, including a $9,994,733 tax levy for the 2024-25 school year.
The meeting opened with nominations for a citizen to chair the annual meeting. After nominations, the board voted to name Darla Thiel chairperson; she then called for routine business. The assembly voted to accept the annual meeting minutes that were printed on pages 3 and 4.
During the meeting the motion to levy $9,994,733 "on all property, real and personal, within the boundaries of Williams Bay School District for the purpose of operating the public schools, including discharge of debt" was moved and approved. The chair announced the levy vote was unanimous, "7 to 0." The chair also led a motion to set annual school board salaries: president $2,500; vice president, treasurer, clerk, and member each $2,200. The motion passed by voice vote.
The assembly authorized the school board to set the 2025 annual meeting date for July 28, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. A motion to adjourn was made and approved, and the chair closed the formal meeting.
Why it matters: These votes finalize local fiscal and governance choices for the coming year and set the procedural schedule for the district. The levy approval funds operating and capital needs the board described earlier in the meeting.
