Summary

The board highlighted multiple student achievements across academics, athletics and extracurriculars, reminded attendees of the public comment process and announced a new therapy dog at the elementary school (Cooper to retire soon).

The Board of Trustees opened recognitions by listing a range of student honors — Class of 2026 Top Scholars, MIT STEM program participation, Academic All-State Wrestling, state-level forensics, Future Business Leaders of America, solo & ensemble, visual art awards, and FFA Career Development Events.

During communications the president invited audience members to comment (three-minute limit) and reminded attendees that Wisconsin law prohibits discussion of specific employees’ performance; he provided an email contact aaron.dunn@mp.k12.wi.us for follow-up. The minutes also note community communications expected from Matt Nevers and Glen Ridnour (Cornwell Exchange background) and Ottie and Alexa Hardyman, who announced a new therapy dog at the elementary school and noted Cooper will be retiring soon.

Why it matters: Recognitions signal district academic and extracurricular success, and the therapy dog program and community communications reflect local engagement and supports for student wellbeing.
