Hortonville board hears Act 12 reporting item, lists multiple NEOLA policy updates and holds first reading of HHS choir trip
Summary
Board members discussed complying with Act 12 reporting requirements, a slate of proposed NEOLA and district policy updates, and conducted a first reading of a Hortonville High School choir overnight trip to New York City (March 10–15, 2027). No final votes were recorded on policy changes; the choir trip will require further approval.
At the June 22 meeting the Hortonville Area School District board received discussion items on statutory reporting and policy updates and recorded a first reading of an HHS choir trip that will return for final approval.
Dallas Herbst was listed on the agenda for an item described as "Complying with Reporting Requirements under Act 12." The transcript lists the item but does not include a detailed presentation transcript or final directive; the board did not record a formal vote on this item during the open session.
The board also listed a package of NEOLA and district bylaw and policy updates for review, including policy 0144.5 (Board Member Behavior, Communications, and Code of Conduct), several student supervision and welfare policies (1213, 3213, 4213), instructional materials and library policies (2521, 2521.01, 2522), staff use of personal communication devices (7530.02), student technology acceptable use (7540.03), social media use (7544), volunteers (8120), reporting of child abuse and neglect (8462), and public requests/complaints (9130). The transcript shows these policies listed for committee consideration; no final board action was recorded in the open session text.
The board recorded a 1st reading for an HHS Choir overnight/out-of-state trip to New York City scheduled for March 10–15, 2027; transportation was listed as provided by Progressive Travel. Because the transcript indicates this was a first reading, the trip requires subsequent approval (typically by a future board vote) before students may travel.
During the public comment portion, Grace Abitz raised questions related to Comenius Academy; the transcript notes the comment but does not record a substantive response or any board action tied to it.
What’s next: Policy revisions and the choir trip will move to follow-up review; the choir trip will need a final vote at a later meeting.
