Flambeau board narrowly approves new Social Studies curriculum after 4-3 vote
Summary
The Flambeau School District board approved a new Social Studies curriculum on Aug. 21, 2024, in a 4-3 roll-call vote after divided support from members. The approval moves the curriculum forward despite objections from three board members.
The Flambeau School District Board of Education approved a new Social Studies curriculum on Aug. 21, 2024, on a 4-3 roll-call vote. Board members Laura Dutter-Nelson, Brian Beardsley, Doug Verdegan and Linda Zimmer voted Yes; Lana Nelson, Jennifer Heath and President Ted Alberson voted No.
Board discussion was recorded as sufficient for a vote but the close tally shows a divided board over the curriculum item. The decision was made during the District Office action items portion of the meeting and was recorded simply as "Motion Carried" following the roll-call. The approval authorizes implementation of the new Social Studies materials for the district pending typical rollout steps by administration.
The vote record as provided in the minutes is the primary source of the result; the minutes do not record the specific objections or proposed amendments that produced the three No votes. The district's next regular board meeting is scheduled for Sept. 18, 2024, where any follow-up or implementation updates could appear.
