Board of Education

The Board of Education is responsible for setting policies that guide our district, including those related to students, staff, educational programs, facilities and community relations. The Board also approves the district budget and works with employee groups and represented bargaining groups to ensure fair and effective operations.

The Board of Education typically holds its Regular Meetings at 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the John J. Hosmanek Educational Support Center, unless otherwise noted.

Occasionally, Special Meetings may be scheduled by the Board President. These meetings are also open to the public. Executive Sessions, which may involve confidential topics such as personnel matters, negotiations or facility discussions, are closed to the public as allowed under Wisconsin law.

All meetings other than Executive Sessions are open to the public, and community members are encouraged to attend. Meetings are also livestreamed and recorded for public viewing. You can watch meetings on:

  • The District’s YouTube Channel
  • Channel 20 (for subscribers of local cable television services)

Meeting notices are shared in advance and include the meeting time, location and agenda topics. We welcome community participation and value your engagement in supporting our schools!
