Shawano board approves Alternative Education changes with $98,628 spending cap; one abstention
Summary
The board accepted proposed updates to the Alternative Education program and approved an amendment capping expenditures at $98,628. Christine McKinnies abstained from the vote; all other members voted to approve.
The Shawano School District Board accepted proposed changes to its Alternative Education program on June 18, approving an amendment that limits related expenditures to no more than $98,628.
Brandie Genske and Michael McKinnies presented updates to the Alternative Education Program. Mrs. Bobbi Lemerond moved to accept the proposal as presented and Mr. Al Pyatskowit seconded. Lemerond offered an amendment to limit spending "not to exceed $98,628," which Mrs. Karen Houston seconded. Mrs. Christine McKinnies recorded an abstention; the remaining board members voted yes and the motion carried.
Why it matters: the amendment places a clear financial cap on implementation steps the board has approved, limiting district exposure pending further planning or funding decisions. The minutes record the board's procedural approval but do not include details on program content or timeline; those details were presented but not specified in the meeting record.
Next steps: implementation details and any budget allocations beyond the cap were not specified and will require follow up by district staff.
