Here. Jason Safford, here. Andrew Cooper, here. Phil Henkel, here. Kevin Johnson, here. Mary Amaro, here. [0:15] Berr Richard, here. Nelly Shire, here. And Doug Kuchko, here. [0:20] And Randy was a proper novice given for this meeting. Yes, please be advised at public novice of this meeting as [0:24] by Section 19.8465.90, the Wisconsin Statutes has been properly given. [0:30] Such notice consisted of a notice-ended agenda to the official newspaper at the Race [0:34] Light Corner Type, to the ocular leader and radio stations that we jamced in WACUE, indicating [0:39] the date time and place of the meeting. Such notice was given more than 24 hours prior [0:43] to the meeting. [0:44] Thank you, it does appear that a proper notice was given for this meeting, so we will stand [0:47] for the pledge. [0:48] a [0:53] pledge of allegiance to the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands [0:59] one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. [1:07] All [1:15] right, we have two people signed up for appearances, so we will start with Patty. [1:29] I don't want you to forget who I am, so I'm here. [1:32] We could never do that Patty. [1:34] Thank you. Okay. Ready? No, it didn't start? No, don't start. [1:39] All right. I need every second. Okay. Okay. [1:44] Patty Anderson, 1789, 29 a quarter Avenue, Rice Lake Street address. [1:49] A few points that I would like to bring to the board. [1:52] Educating myself is something I do to make good and fair decisions. [1:56] I attended your finance meeting last week. I learned a great deal. [2:00] Mr. Dross work on spreadsheet sheets and numbers is a thankless job, but a job well done on his part. [2:08] Not to criticize any of you, but I wondered why only four committee numbers on the finance [2:13] when a vote is needed on an action who breaks the tie. [2:17] What's the question I had or do you just all agree? [2:20] The committee is all guys, no girls. [2:24] Females like look at problems differently, and maybe seeing hog and school as a problem four years ago, [2:30] moms, gramas, and great grants would have assessed the need and gone into action and not kicked the can down the road for years. [2:39] Question, do we know why homeschooling is still being in Baron County? [2:43] Did parents learn exactly what was being taught as everyone was home due to COVID? [2:47] have we asked what are we not offering to these families when they make that choice to stay [2:53] home with their children? Just another thought. I was told also that all curriculum comes from [2:59] the same publisher. Do we look through it, read it and take out the woke that we're not teaching [3:04] woke? In researching ideas to help keep schools open, one idea was to make the school unique. [3:11] establish a special focus, a magnet, or a theme school, for example STEM, and that was science, [3:17] technology, engineering, and math. Because Hagen is not in the city, we are rural, and a country [3:24] school. A country school atmosphere, smaller classes, which fulfill your mission statement, and our focus [3:31] would be reading excellent at an early age. At the March 23rd Board Meeting, a suggestion [3:36] to form a committee of two board members to teachers and two parents was proposed and I wondered [3:42] if that committee had been formed yet. A five-year strategic plan as a future agenda item would [3:48] work to give our county, especially the rice-like school district, positive reinforcement, [3:54] a good quality education. This would also be good for good economic development. I do understand [4:00] what budgets are, lower population and housing issues, but we need to start somewhere. [4:05] Now, to end with more positive note, you each have a Poppy and Penny Packet in front of you. [4:12] On March, May 18th at 10 30 AM at the Hagen School, the auxiliary unit 540 in Hagen, will have a challenge for students. [4:22] The Poppy represents the visual image of the sacrifice of service made by a veteran since World War I. [4:28] Visiting a veteran's grave and leaving a penny lets the family know that someone visited. [4:33] The 61 students will get their packet and after leaving a penny, they will add their name to a poster at the school. [4:42] Now, my challenge to you all is please join us in the 250 penny challenge. [4:48] Visit Veterans Crave, leave the penny, and add your name to the poster when you visit hog and school. [4:53] Thank you. [4:55] Thank you. [4:58] And Courtney. [5:05] Courtney Nyan said, appearance, race, Lake Wisconsin. [5:09] I came tonight because I care deeply about this district, this community, the students, the teachers, including Hagen. [5:16] And over the past several weeks, I repeatedly asked questions about the district's finance and budget priorities. [5:22] What I've often received are partial answers, fragmented information, or responses that make it seem like concerns citizens simply just don't understand. [5:31] But transparency is not something this school should have, not something the public should [5:36] have to fight for, taxpayers deserve clear answers and I'm going to continue asking questions [5:41] because I believe that this district is heading in the wrong direction. We're losing teachers [5:47] to other districts, we're losing students to open enrollment homeschooling and other educational [5:52] options. Meanwhile, taxpayers in this community are already struggling with rising costs [5:58] an increasing taxes. [6:01] I just wanted to ask, is the board aware that there has been more than [6:04] a 10% increase in the number of students being bust from that eight to 12 miles away? What does [6:11] that say about population movement in romantic trends and the future of our rural communities? [6:17] I also do not believe that Hagen School is being discussed with confidence or vision. [6:22] Parents here on certainty, they hear conversations centered around closure and no parent wants [6:27] here, no pair wants to send their child to a school they believe may disappear in a year. [6:33] This board needs to commit to hog in for at least five years and stop treating the closure [6:37] as the default solution or inevitable. Because respectfully hog in school did not create [6:44] this district's financial problems. Last Thursday of the Finance Committee meeting, [6:50] there was a discussion about pool pricing. After the pool has been opened for almost a year, [6:56] The families are now facing rates like $200 for a two-hour birthday party, which is significantly more expensive than other local options. [7:05] Those discussions about costs, affordability, and long-term sustainability should have happened before decisions were made not afterward. [7:13] I do not believe this board is being given the full picture. [7:16] I do not believe that the financial realities and the community concerns are being communicated [7:22] accurately or completely. And if the board truly understood, but many residents are seeing, [7:28] The focus will not be centered on cl- [7:31] The focus would be on addressing, spending priorities, rebuilding trust, retaining families and teachers, and restoring competence in the district. In these real trust, the kind of trust that comes from valuing teachers, students, and education itself. The kind of honorable trust that is built through transparency, responsible leadership, and remembering the true foundation of this district is supposed to be education. Thank you. [8:00] All right. Next, I would entertain a motion to approve our regular session in closed session [8:07] meeting minutes from Monday, April 27th. [8:11] So moved. [8:12] Motion has been made as a second. Second motion has been made in seconded, any further [8:18] discussion? Seeing none, all on favor signify by saying aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, [8:24] And the minutes have been approved. [8:27] Next, we have our consent agenda. [8:30] We have our monthly budget and cash reconciliation report. [8:33] Our board bills. [8:35] We have three employment resignations and two [8:40] employment recommendations. [8:41] I would entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda. [8:45] Some of motion has been made as our second. [8:49] Second motion has been made and seconded. [8:51] Any further discussion? [8:52] seen an all in favor signify by say I post the consent agenda has been approved. Next, [9:00] we get our first reading of the 2627 elementary handbook. [9:16] Hello, Natalie's friend. The principal, I've held top elementary. [9:20] Mattels, principal, Tina. [9:22] Right, we are just going to highlight the changes that we have made to the handbook. [9:27] So the first major change comes on page five with our 4K programming and this year we added the extended day as a part of our 4K programming. [9:40] But we didn't have items with their handbook included with our elementary handbook. [9:46] So that's why we wanted to put that in with the elementary handbook and have it look like we are 4K through 4th grade. [9:53] it's a elementary and excuse me wanted to make sure that they were all a part of the same [10:00] handbook. So we added information in there so that families know exactly what that will [10:06] look like. They're in the first paragraph with the 4K programming. There might be some tweaks [10:13] there once we know what that looks like with the Hagen elementary and once that decision is made [10:20] for what 4K is, then we'll have to make a few little changes there, but right now that's [10:27] what we have for our 4K program. [10:31] And then on page 7 under field trips, per policy 352 and 351, we added a piece in regard [10:40] to a volunteer commitment and confidentiality statement, as well as Sheper on Equiarment [10:48] expectations being reviewed before they go on a field trip and and a chaperone. So we added [10:54] those pieces. And then on page 8 under absence and truancy, we asked and added that doctors [11:04] note come with a student if they've been gone for three or more consecutive days just to note [11:10] their illness and why they were absent. Those are major changes that we had made to the [11:17] any questions about new those things? [11:20] I don't have questions about that but I did go to the handbook and since we have been talking [11:25] about the cell phone use policy I know at your level you don't have as probably as much [11:29] but you do have it in there and you just have cell phones and smartwatches I wonder if you [11:33] just put any electronic device and so we can encompass that as we're going because it's going [11:37] to keep coming out right and so rather than rewriting it later you may as well add maybe additional [11:42] or any electronic device that the children shouldn't have because if they're bringing an iPad [11:47] or whatever they might bring. It might be helpful for you, too. [11:50] Absolutely. Thanks. That's just any other question. [11:52] You could just make it. We'll have a second reading for policy tonight. Personal electronic devices. [11:58] Just make it generic and that would cover anything not as nothing new with devices issued by the [12:04] school. But anything that's brought from all. Great. Anything else? You guys are thinking? [12:12] Awesome. Thanks, guys. Right. This is a first reading. So this will be brought back for a second reading. [12:18] If you have any questions between now and then, please let Randy know and we'll help our second meeting. [12:28] Next, our hog and elementary enrollment update. [12:31] Yes, and Mr. Velchek could be here today, unfortunately, [12:36] I had to attend a funeral and so, but we have been talking this week and [12:42] and talking with enrollment and moving there. [12:44] and so just elementary enrollment as a whole. I just wanted to give you a little slide on that. [12:51] So it has of today for next year. We have about 738 students enrolled. Typically in 4k and k, [12:58] we pick up more students over the summer. So I wouldn't be surprised to pick up 10 or more [13:04] students in each grade level. That's pretty common over the course of the summer. So I would expect [13:10] are enrollment in the fall to be around that 760 mark. [13:16] Last third Friday, last September was 773, [13:19] but then we actually picked up students over the course of the year. [13:23] So as of April, our elementary enrollment was 790. [13:26] And so I would expect us to pick up students there. [13:31] So that's been very typical every summer. [13:34] To pick up students entering grades 4K and K. [13:37] As we look at hogging as of this afternoon, we have seven students in 4K and waiting on 2 to officially enroll in 5 students in kindergarten again, waiting on 2 or 3, 3, I think it was 2 officially enroll, but 13 or 1st grade 18 and 2nd grade 11 and 3rd grade, and 9 and 4th grade 9 was plus 1 waiting to decide, and we didn't have it as an action item tonight, wanted you to think about it. [14:08] potentially take action on in two weeks and then we'll see if we pick up other students, but [14:14] at this time we'd be recommending a multi-age 4K and K combined and we have a teacher that's at [14:22] hog and that's willing and excited to teach that and then in third and fourth grade as well looking [14:29] on a multi-age there, and again a teacher who is, he actually wanted more students to have that [14:37] is looking for a larger group of students, but would be looking at a multi-age classroom [14:43] there as a recommendation. But again, we don't have that as an action item. I wanted to put [14:47] that to eat a night, and by the one we meet again in two weeks, should have a very solid number. [15:00] The additional, well, not additional look at those recommendations. See if they change or not. And then ask you to take action on that. [15:08] What's your current rule? [15:11] 60 one or two students. I think this is 63. I think if they all come 12.25. [15:20] Yeah, 63. I think if, yep, right now. [15:24] So what's the 4K key members are that is that like is the two count as part of the [15:29] step? That's part of seven. Yeah, and part of the five. Yeah, so right now expecting a dozen total. [15:36] But as I said, we usually pick up students and and 4K and so if there could be a couple more. [15:43] And then as far as if the third and fourth grade classes combined with the third grade teacher moved another. [15:50] Yeah, yeah, somebody, nobody would be out of a job. [15:55] So. [15:55] I know we talked about this a little bit, but I don't know what [15:57] they're giving us. [15:58] Actually, never like what is the range of average classroom [16:00] size that you're looking for for across the district that we try to [16:03] know. [16:04] You know, the the 18 is is oftentimes and everybody's mind. [16:09] The 18 came from now it's called AGR. [16:13] You'll have elementary principles present on that at [16:15] curriculum committee meetings. [16:16] It was Sage before that. Sage had to be, you could not go over 18 and grades K through three if you wanted that additional funding for class. [16:26] That is no longer there as long as you have academic coaches, which we have literacy in math coaches. [16:32] We have interventionists. You can go over that. [16:35] And so with that we haven't had anybody with the exception, I think fourth grade at 10 or is 23 or 4 this year and those classes, you know, that no more than 20, we try to keep it under 20 and so I know a lot in a lot of places, they would look at that as a small class size for instance when I go to big rivers meetings, you know, you go to riverfalls, they're going to have 23, 4, 5, 6 in a classroom or an nominee. [17:05] It's going to be very common there, but that hasn't been common here for a long time. [17:11] So, as Patty said, you know, we promote smaller class sizes. [17:18] Any other questions? [17:22] All right, thank you for that update. [17:24] Next, we have the 2627 Board of Education meeting schedule. [17:31] That is the second reading. [17:33] I did not hear anybody have any questions or concerns on that. [17:38] of this, we'll move this forward to a motion and a approval. [17:44] I have a motion to approve feeding schedule. [17:47] Second motion has been made in seconded. [17:50] Any further discussion? [17:52] Seeing none. [17:53] All in favor, signify by saying aye. [17:55] Aye. [17:56] Opposed. [17:58] And that schedule has been approved. [18:01] Next, we have our finance committee meeting update. [18:04] So, all right, we met on Thursday, May 7th at 33, all members were present. [18:10] Statement in Norse was given, minutes were approved, and then we elected a chairperson, [18:18] which became me again. [18:21] And then from there, we talked about the school district budget administration presented an [18:28] overview of the last 10 years of revenue growth for Fontaine. [18:31] The fund 10 revenue limits have increased $2,355,556 for 9.3% over the last 10 years. [18:42] That is an average of $235,556 a year, which equates to just under 1% per year increase. [18:52] The community discussed the current F estimate estimated deficit for the 2627 budget, the [19:00] 1.2 million dollars, and that the district has to make decisions on how it to balance [19:06] the budget in the near future. [19:10] We talked about setting community center hours and membership of the committee discussed the [19:16] and pricing for other community centers and gave administration some direction and how to step up the [19:24] district's community center. We talked about the fund 46 contribution. We discussed that for making future [19:34] contributions to that fund, which is tied to maintenance and both sides of projects. [19:41] And then a bid for the Wood Boiler decommissioning, the committee approved administration [19:48] getting bids to decommission the Wood Boiler system and the use of the current wood storage [19:53] area for the high for potential use and repurposing for the high school construction classes. [19:59] And then we talked about our Opab investment review in terms of the quarterly report on that. [20:12] And we did, we did do the language for the OPEB, the committee discussed changing the current proposed language to a law employees hired prior to July 1st of 2024 to voluntarily change to the benefit for staff hired after 7 1 of 24 and changing that staff retiring on June 30th of 28 to June 30th of 31 with 10 years of service. [20:40] would receive 96 months of lump sum payment on at a reduced monthly amount. The committee [20:48] directed the administration to do a comparison of the Administrative OPEB to other districts [20:53] for the committee to review to determine potential changes to the Administrative OPEB language. [21:03] The next item that we talked about was StapLoss Rate Review, [21:06] administration reviewed the current stop loss quote that has a 31% increase in premiums [21:13] and a 1.8 million dollar increase in the district's climb liability. [21:19] And then we talked about the fund 39 resolutions the committee reviewed the payment information [21:24] for the fund 39 resolutions that are an action item on the full board agenda and the district's [21:30] that will be paid off within July 20, 27, do you want to see that now Kevin? [21:38] Let's take that, no. [21:41] So the first resolution would be authorizing the general obligation school improvement bonds [21:47] that were dated December 30, of 2013. [21:52] And so that is an action item. [21:54] I would entertain a motion to approve that resolution. [21:58] So moved. Motion has been made as a second. Second. Motion has been made and seconded any further discussion. [22:06] Seeing none all in favor signify by saying aye. [22:10] Opposed and that resolution has been approved. Next is for the resolution on obligation school improvement bonds dated December 30th of 2013 and the redemption of the general obligation school bonds for March. [22:28] third of 2004. [22:34] So, motion has been made as a second. Second, motion has been made and seconded, any further discussion. [22:42] Seeing none, no, on favor signify by say, aye, aye, host. And that resolution has been approved. [22:49] And then we reviewed and the bills and made a recommendation for approval, set our next meeting date for June 4th at 330 and we adjourned at 523. [23:02] Any questions? [23:05] All right. [23:05] Thank you for that report. [23:07] Next, we will be hearing from our compensation committee. [23:11] Okay. [23:11] So we met on Monday, May 4th at 5 o'clock, all the committee members were present. [23:17] We voted in for me to be the chairperson again, and then next, we discussed the teacher compensation for 2026-27. [23:30] Andy, do you want to? [23:31] Yeah, I'm sorry. [23:34] We did that. I'm just going to pull this up again, and I know it's linked in your packet. [23:39] So, for 25, 26, you know, we've continued with this year for a formula-based approach. [23:49] It's the linear algebra equation and the annual increase is $1,500 a year plus if we make any changes to the base salary. [24:01] So for 2627, for someone or the bachelor's would be $1,500 times in a number of years plus starting salary [24:09] $4,2,000 up to 68,000 masters or national boards would be similar that has always been at $3,000 [24:19] higher and that if someone had a master's and a national board would be $2,000 above that. [24:24] So, changes from last year to this year, $5,500 increase to our starting to our base [24:31] And then also increasing $1500 on the top end, which has been consistent with what we've done the last four years. [24:41] That would be sorry. [24:42] That would be $380, that was another increase overall. [24:46] It equates to $2.8.5% increase in CPI for this year's considered to be $2.63. [24:57] Okay, and then next week discuss the support staff compensation as well. [25:02] Yeah, so I'll just take you out. Let's go there. So with that, let's link, let me make that a little bit bigger. [25:17] So with that, we took each cell, you know, we have custodial work group, secretary and support personnel, special education, behavior support, attendance coordinator, food service, life guards. [25:31] And so with that recommended, this included, this was a 2.85% increase across all cells, across all jobs. [25:43] And so recommending that last very similar to what we had last year and the last year was a 2.9, maybe 3%. [25:53] And so I think it was 3%, so a 2.85% recommending that across the board and all cells. [26:03] And then last, we discuss the contract to staff conversation. [26:08] Yeah, so for that, oh, that I'm sorry I should have said this, Miriam, my fault. [26:14] Let me go back to support staff for a second, so that'd be $127,000, $127,000, $6,178 increase. [26:23] And again, that did not include lifeguards or willless learners. [26:28] Contracted includes DTO staff, aquatic and ref center, [26:32] and support here for some positions are naturalists, senior account and foot service director. [26:39] And so with that, when you looked at those people all the way across the board, [26:44] it would have been a $28,000 increase, which was 2.85% across the board. [26:49] So recommending a 2.85% increase across the board. [27:03] And so with us then, we're bringing this to you for, [27:08] If you agree, or if you need any other discussion, [27:12] would have a discussion and approval, [27:15] then we would start to issue contracts for next quarter year. [27:21] Anybody have any questions? [27:26] If not, I would entertain a motion to approve those pay increases [27:31] that were presented in this evening. [27:33] A motion. [27:34] Motion has been made as a second. [27:36] Second. [27:37] Motion has been made in seconded and a further discussion. [27:40] And see, non, please let the record show that Andrew and myself both abstain from this vote. [27:47] And with that, all in favour, signify by say aye. [27:50] Opposed. [27:52] And that motion carries. [27:55] And then that's all we have. [27:57] We did not decide on our next reading day. [28:01] All right. [28:01] Thank you. [28:03] Next, we have the curriculum committee meeting update. [28:06] we met the ceiling just before our meeting tonight and we approved our minutes. We got an update [28:17] and it will be action items tonight for the high school social studies pilot courses. One was [28:23] the physics course and one was a both AP physics and then AP history. No, it's like AP [28:31] Thank you. [28:33] Yes. [28:37] AP psych. [28:38] Stand correct. [28:39] Thank you. [28:41] So, those two courses, the committee is they had good response from the students as far [28:50] as numbers. [28:51] Taking those two classes, the majority of those kids on the history class, 58% took it, took [29:01] that class as a dual enrollment. So that meant that they got college credit as well at UWO [29:08] Claire, as well as credit at the high school. And just a lot of positive feedback on both of those [29:17] classes. So we are recommending that both of those get approved for permanent class position. [29:24] position. So motion has made a second. Motion has made and seconded. Any further discussion? [29:34] Seeing none, all in favor. I'm saying bye by saying aye. I post and that motion carries. Then we also [29:42] got an update on the story program that is being used at the middle school for some of our [29:52] reading intervention students that are need and need there and heard a lot of [30:00] The growth that was taking place, so not only in just the general education groups, but also in some of our subgroups. [30:13] We saw some positive growth there, which is one of the areas that we need to see some growth in, based on our report card. [30:20] So, our English language learners and special education also saw a nice significant growth in those groups as well. [30:32] So, just got a good report back from that and looking forward to hearing more good things to come from that. [30:42] And then our next meeting date is to be determined. [30:45] Any questions? [30:51] Next, we have policy and legislative advocacy committee meeting update. [30:56] This is just for our second reading. We have policy 443, the student possession and use of personal [31:02] electronic devices, which is what Randy referenced earlier, along with policy 446 student [31:09] searches and policy 537.2 professional development opportunities for license staff and the [31:19] rule for that 537.2 met the guidelines for that staff attendance at the personal development [31:27] events. [31:28] I would intercane a motion to approve of those policies and the rule. [31:32] Some motion has made, is there a second? [31:34] Second motion has been made in seconded any further discussion [31:40] Seeing none all on favor signify by saying I I I post and [31:46] Those policies in the rule have been approved [31:49] Next we have [31:51] W is be public policy correspondent update failure. You got some exciting stuff. I thought today. Well [31:58] Potentially fighting. Yes, it's always been every time Potentially exciting. Yes, yes [32:05] the governor and the leader of the house and the senate or Robin Laws and the leader of the senate came to [32:14] an agreement on a compromise as to what to do with the budget surplus. [32:19] Now, [32:19] it appears like it could actually be a fair compromise because they're fair number of elements and both sides [32:29] that don't like it. So we'll see if it passes, that's a problem. [32:33] I think there's supposed to be a scheduled vote on Wednesday, [32:36] presumably, but general terms of the deal are that they want [32:41] to increase sped aid over retroactively from last year. [32:46] It's the next year to around $300 million statewide, [32:52] which could put, it goes to, could resolve potentially [32:55] us getting a few hundred thousand dollars and also there's some general school aid in a [33:04] like amount. The problem is it's under the revenue limits so I don't know if that will allow [33:10] us to. It doesn't sound like it will allow us to love the extra revenue but it will provide property [33:16] tax relief and perhaps decrease our deficit. [33:21] Then other elements of the bill are state income tax exclusion for over time, which is [33:30] distinguished from the federal and that federal is scheduled to sunset, 2020-8, and this [33:35] is not scheduled to sunset. [33:37] This is permanent going forward until somebody changes that tax exclusion for tip income, and [33:45] and likewise terms there if it's passed it should extend indefinitely in the future and then [33:54] an income tax rebate. And combined fiscal effect is something the rage of $1.7 billion dollars [34:03] so it gets sort of a fairly large part of the surplus. So we'll see what happens. You know, [34:10] something if you're old like me, you don't want to get too excited about this. You want to get [34:14] excited about things that really happen. So I'll see you in half. [34:18] All right. Thank you for that update. Next upcoming meeting schedule was posted in your packet. [34:26] We've got three items, some WSB opportunities for some extra learning opportunities for some zooms, video meetings, [34:40] and then no registrations required for those three and then the summer learning symposium. [34:46] If you can attend that July 10th and 11th, that is over in Steven's point and registration [34:50] required. [34:51] So please let us know as soon as possible and that is our upcoming median schedule. [34:58] And we have our student representative with us this evening. [35:03] I'm happy to see you here. [35:04] So thank you. [35:05] Yeah, so just a few small things that we're doing towards the end of the year. [35:09] We're continuing to do the hallway games between the first and second hour on Wednesdays. [35:14] Additionally, I think it was within the last few days. [35:17] We were serving teachers, coffee, for staff appreciation week. [35:22] Additionally, this Friday, we're going to be having a movie on the turf. [35:26] We're going to play it, I believe, on the big board, and just as well as a bonfire, [35:32] a really great way to help build up some of that connection between students before the end of the year. [35:43] Thank you. [35:47] I think it's probably going to be good. [35:51] Thank you for being here and representing the students. [35:57] Next, our district administrator comments.
