At the meeting the Board of Education approved a package of routine and substantive items during the consent and action portions of the agenda.
On motion and voice vote the board adopted the meeting agenda and the consent agenda, which included approval of the April 16, 2024 minutes, the financial report for July 1, 2023 through April 20, 2024 and bills for April 1–30, 2024 totaling $2,422,742.37.
The board approved proposed revisions to the 2024–25 elementary and Riverview School student and parent handbooks as presented in committee of the whole. The board also approved the Pupil Non-Discrimination Self-Evaluation Report as presented.
On insurance, the board approved renewals for district health, dental and vision plans for the 2024–25 school year after confirming there were no further questions following committee review.
Gifts were accepted and corresponding budget adjustments approved: a donation of $1,307.13 from the Riverview Student Council for fifth-grade transportation to Discovery World (noted in discussion), and $1,005.18 for transportation to Urban Air for sixth grade; the board moved to approve the listed gifts and budget adjustments.
In personnel actions, the board approved a 100% teaching contract for Bradford Seaman to teach English at Plymouth High School beginning in 2024–25. The board also accepted several resignations effective at the end of the 2023–24 school year: Kelly Drews (Fairview Elementary kindergarten), Jacqueline Rummel (special education, Fairview), Courtney Wagner (Riverview fifth grade), Amanda Parks (Riverview fifth grade), Zach Holden (music assistant at Plymouth High School), and Andrea Alvarez (Riverview Middle School teacher). Support-staff personnel updates were provided as informational items, including the hiring of Gunnar Anderson as a network computer technician and retirements submitted by Robert Miller (head custodian, 41 years), Stuart Elmer (head custodian, 16 years) and Libby Obler (secretary, 32 years).
The board also approved an out-of-state travel request that will allow a business-education teacher to take a high-school student to Orlando, Florida, in June for the Microsoft PowerPoint/365 Wisconsin State Championship; expenses will be the responsibility of the student and parents through fundraising.
All motions referenced above were carried by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.
