The Viroqua Area School District board approved its consent agenda and reviewed a slate of policy updates during its meeting.
On the consent agenda, the board acted to approve the agenda, acknowledge public notice and accept the March meeting minutes. The board also approved a voucher summary (voucher summary one) in the amount of $274,200.64; the motion carried on a voice vote. The board recognized retirements and resignations (Jake [last name not specified], Jackie [last name not specified], Denell [last name not specified], and Amanda Funk) and confirmed appointments including Wyatt Cameron (instrumental music teacher), Olivia Lulich (middle‑school agriculture teacher) and Mary Readinger (4K/E2 teacher).
Dana presented policy revisions for first reading that align district language with recent statutory changes and administrative templates. Notable policy updates reviewed included revisions to board powers (policy I 0122), conflict of interest language permitting board members to serve as volunteer bus drivers under certain conditions (policy 014 4.3), clerk bylaw updates, student anti‑harassment clarifications, preparedness/toxic hazards designations, and a new policy on social media use that prohibits private, staff‑to‑student communications on social platforms. The policies were presented for first reading and will return for board consideration in May.
No formal roll‑call vote counts were provided in the record for these items; where the meeting recorded approval by voice, the minutes reflect the motions as adopted by the board.
