Board rejects joining Southeastern Wisconsin Schools Alliance and tables decision for more data
Summary
The board considered a $3,700 annual fee to join SWSA, debated expected financial benefits, and recorded a failed motion (Purtell-yes, Bzdawka-no, Wishau-no, Schwartz-abstain) before unanimously tabling the item to gather more information.
The board discussed whether to join the Southeastern Wisconsin Schools Alliance for a proposed $3,700 annual fee. Discussion focused on potential financial benefits such as legislative advocacy and larger risk pools for healthcare costs; board members requested more specific data on SWSA's financial impact on member districts.
The initial motion to join failed with the vote recorded as "Purtell-yes, Bzdawka-no, Wishau-no, and Schwartz abstaining." After that vote, Ashley Bzdawka moved and Noah Wishau seconded a motion to table the agreement until the next meeting to gather additional data; that tabling motion carried on an all-ayes vote.
