Summary
At its Dec. 22 meeting the Shawano School Board approved a district safety plan, accepted consent items including $586,338 in revenue and cumulative vouchers of $2,571,686, and approved an out-of-state trip for the high school jazz ensemble; the board held two closed sessions to discuss staffing and a superintendent evaluation check-in.
The Shawano School Board on Dec. 22 unanimously approved the district's Safety Plan, accepted the consent agenda that included financial vouchers and an out-of-state field trip for the high school jazz ensemble, and moved into closed sessions to discuss staffing and a superintendent evaluation.
Board member John Arens moved to approve the meeting agenda at the start of the session; the motion was seconded by Board member Bobbi Lemerond and carried 9-0. Later, Board member John Arens moved and Board member Christine McKinnies seconded a motion to adjourn to closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider staffing matters; that motion also passed unanimously. The board reconvened in open session at 5:30 p.m.
During the public portion of the meeting, Jeff Zander of Shawano was recorded as a registered community commenter; the minutes do not include the content of his remarks. The consent agenda, moved by Karen Houston and seconded by Mike Musolff, was approved 9-0 and bundled several items: approval of minutes from Nov. 17 and Dec. 8, financial reports and vouchers (reported revenue of $586,338 and cumulative vouchers of $2,571,686), Title I planning documents, WASB delegate assembly resolutions, personnel resignations/appointments, an out-of-state Shawano High School jazz trip request, and multiple policy updates related to nondiscrimination, harassment, and Section 504/ADA provisions. The minutes list the policy documents provided in the packet but do not detail specific language changes.
On the agenda's action items, the board approved the Safety Plan after a motion from Board member Mike Musolff and a second from Board member Christine McKinnies; that vote was recorded as 9-0. The Safety Plan materials were included in the meeting packet but the minutes do not record a separate substantive discussion or amendments to the plan.
Later in the meeting the board moved to adjourn to closed session, again citing Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c), for a superintendent evaluation check-in. The motion was made by Karen Houston, seconded by John Arens, and carried 9-0. The board then voted to adjourn while in closed session; that final motion, moved by Bobbi Lemerond and seconded by Mike Musolff, carried and the meeting was recorded as adjourned in closed session at 7:23 p.m. Alfred Pyatskowit, the board clerk, is listed at the end of the minutes.
The meeting packet referenced several documents (financial summaries, safety plan, policy PDFs, and field trip forms) for more detail. The minutes do not record vote-by-vote explanations beyond the recorded yea votes; no formal contested motions or roll-call dissent appear in the record.
