| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Limited to Two Minutes
The agenda states that public comment is limited to two minutes per speaker, with a maximum of one hour total for all public comments. This severely restricts the ability of parents to voice detailed concerns to the Board on important issues affecting their children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Item 5.A’s two-minute time limit is insufficient for parents to address complex issues. We demand you extend the time for public comment to ensure the Board is fully informed before voting on matters affecting our children.’
💰 Impact: Parental Voice Restricted

District Using SEL to Manage Student Behavior
School presentations reveal the district is using the ‘Character Strong’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum as a primary tool for behavior management. This strategy, presented as a ‘Culture Goal,’ shifts focus from academic instruction and traditional discipline to psychological programming in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and ask: ‘Regarding the presentations in Item 3.A, what is the ‘Character Strong’ curriculum? How much instructional time is dedicated to SEL, and is there an opt-out for parents who want their children to focus on academics and receive discipline based on clear rules, not psychological interventions?’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced with SEL

Board to Send Undisclosed Letter to Legislators
The Board plans to vote on sending a letter to state representatives, as recommended by the Southeastern Wisconsin Schools Alliance (SWSA). The draft of this letter, which represents the district’s official position and lobbying efforts, has not been made public in the agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 10.A, the public has a right to see the draft letter to legislators before you vote to approve it. Post the letter publicly and delay the vote until the next meeting so parents can review the district’s lobbying position.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve an undisclosed list of overnight field trips under the consent agenda, which is typically passed without discussion. The agenda provides no details on the destinations, purpose, or cost of these trips, preventing parental review before approval.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘8D Overnight Field Trips for Approval November 2026.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the destinations and purpose of these trips before the vote. Email the Board to pull Item 8.D from the consent agenda for public discussion.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Student Travel
