Board member proposes student-wellness measures as a 2026–27 goal
Summary
Board member Mandy urged the New Berlin School District board to add a measurable student-wellness goal — including student surveys and behavior-outcome tracking — arguing mental health and belonging affect academic outcomes.
At a work session to set 2026–27 goals, board member Mandy proposed adding a student-wellness objective that would track attendance, behavior outcomes, and student surveys to better capture mental-health and belonging issues that she said influence academic performance. "I don't think we prioritize student wellness and mental health enough on a board goal," Mandy said, urging the board to treat wellness as a measurable factor tied to achievement.
Administrators told the board they already collect student and family survey data and can present school-level breakdowns; they cautioned that privacy rules limit sharing student-level disciplinary consequences. Chair Janet and other members discussed whether wellness should be a standalone goal or incorporated under student achievement, and recommended using existing survey and discipline charts to define specific, measurable key results before voting at a regular meeting.
