The board accepted the resignation of an interventionist—named in the record as Kelly Clary—who accepted a position in a neighboring district to work in a single building. Administrators and colleagues praised Clary's advocacy for students and approved the resignation by voice vote.

Separately, administrators reported that a contracted speech and language provider based in Madison discontinued services; the district quickly sought a replacement and identified a halftime speech pathologist (named Valerie) through a neighboring district.

Board discussion included praise for the departing staff member and appreciation that the replacement will sustain services with a favorable cost comparison.
