Sturgeon Bay board approves agenda, personnel hires and ACP plan

The Sturgeon Bay School Board adopted the meeting agenda, approved the consent agenda and several personnel actions, and approved the district Academic and Career Planning (ACP) plan during its March 20, 2024 meeting.

The meeting opened with a motion to adopt the agenda that, according to the chair, was made by Commissioner Woods and seconded by Commissioner Jennerjohn; the chair called for the ayes and declared the motion carried. Later, the consent agenda—which included minutes from the Feb. 21 regular meeting, a March 6 learning session, February bills, several donations and grants, and a list of resignations and retirements—was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Separately, the board approved two food-service hires. The board moved and approved Susie Herbold as a food service staff member assigned to Sunrise Elementary (mover identified in the meeting as Commissioner Schultz; second: Commissioner Oz) and approved Laurie Schneider for the food service production team at the high/middle school campuses (motion moved by Commissioner Jennerjohn; seconded by Commissioner Wood). Each hire was approved by voice vote.

On a business item, the board approved the district’s Academic and Career Planning plan; the chair said the motion to approve the ACP as presented was moved by Commissioner Wood and seconded by Commissioner Hawes. Presenters noted that state administrative code language guides the board’s oversight role and that district staff or designees will prepare required reports on postsecondary outcomes.

No roll-call tallies or recorded dissent appear in the transcript; outcomes are recorded in the meeting as motions carried or motions carried by voice vote. The meeting adjourned after the board’s business and recognitions.
