Finance and Buildings Committee forwards contracts, handbook and facility-study MOU to New Holstein School Board
Summary
The committee reviewed financial statements and utility expenditures, and recommended multiple items — including eRate fiber quotes, several teacher contract sets, the 2026–2027 support-staff handbook, a health-and-dental renewal, and a facility-study MOU — be placed on the regular board agenda for vote.
Brian Grenzer, chair of the Finance and Buildings and Grounds Committee, called the committee to order at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday and led a review of the district’s financial statements and utility expenditures.
Committee members Brian Grenzer, Craig Sesing and Don Turba reviewed the fiscal reports; administrators Dan Nett, Mike Hendricks and Jeff Schroeder answered clarifying questions. The committee found the presented gas and electrical expenditure comparisons appropriate for the record.
Administrators presented quotes for eRate-funded fiber service; after discussion the committee recommended the selected quote be placed on the upcoming regular board meeting agenda for approval. The committee also reviewed the proposed 2026–2027 Support Staff Employee Handbook and moved it forward to the regular board for a vote.
Several personnel items were reviewed and recommended for board action: issuance of 2026–2027 teacher contracts, 2026 summer-school teacher contracts and 2026–2027 extended teacher contracts. Each item was discussed and committee members posed clarifying questions that administration addressed.
The proposed 2026–2027 health and dental insurance renewal was reviewed and forwarded to the regular board meeting for consideration. Committee members reviewed the renewal terms and had their questions answered by administrators during the meeting.
The committee reviewed a memorandum of understanding for a facility study and recommended the MOU be approved at the regular board meeting. A separate quote for an additional elementary-school playground element was discussed; rather than recommend immediate approval, the committee asked administration to seek additional quotes to gather more financial information before presenting a final recommendation to the board.
The committee meeting was adjourned by Grenzer at 2:30 p.m. The next committee meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. All items recommended by the committee will appear on the regular board agenda for formal action; no final votes were taken by this committee at the April 15 meeting.
