Board approves calendar change, communications contract, playground donation and naming recommendation; several routine items carried

At its Dec. 12 meeting the Luxemburg-Casco School District Board approved a series of motions and routine items.

Calendar change: The board voted to set Dec. 23 as a school day and to make May 26 the last student day of the 2026–27 school year. The motion was made and seconded (recorded as Jenny and Alex) and approved by roll call; the chair announced, "Ayes have it." At least one board member recorded a nay during roll call.

Communications contract: The board approved renewal of the district's communications and consulting agreement (Global Communication and Consulting / Fernando referenced) with no increase in price for 2026 and added retainer assistance for the strategic-plan rollout.

Playground donation: The board approved a playground agenda item and accepted a donation for playground improvements from Tila Construction and Harmon Studios.

Honor recommendation: Board members approved recommendations to honor Steve Okanowski by seeking a roadway-name sign (Okanowski Way) and placing one or two commemorative plaques, including a proposed plaque at the football-field entry. Board members discussed cost and coordination with the village engineer.

Other approvals: The board approved an early-college-credit motion for a student/program and renewed the Northeast Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship agreement for the coming year, with no substantive changes noted.

Adjournment: The board moved to adjourn to closed session at the end of the meeting.
