February 28, 2022 at 5:00 PM - Policy Committee

Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to have the Policy Committee affirm a special circumstance for advertising, specifically tied to the high school curricular programs/classes Sports Marketing and Digital Communications. When these classes were approved by the Board, the vision was for them to eventually work together on marketing and advertising that could be sold and displayed on the scoreboard, in videos on the scoreboard, and now through our live stream of school events (sports, arts, etc.).  The revenues from this work would partially fund expansion of the program and equipment needs.  Since advertising is a policy matter, this request is being brought forward to reaffirm this work so they can proceed.

Additionally, associated with this same policy, the administration wants to clarify a few questions that have arisen with this policy as it relates to other types of donations to the district, and specifically, fundraising activities conducted by various clubs with local businesses.

Description:  The administration would like to discuss Policy 690 - School Properties Disposal with the Committee.  Attached please find the district's current policy, along with two versions of policy provided by the WASB, for our review.  The difference between Sample 1 and Sample 2 is simply that Sample 2 has more details and Sample 1 is more broad.

We will discuss these policies with the Committee, and our objective is to inform the committee of the practices for disposal of equipment and to be transparent with the options we have for disposal/sales of equipment, in the future.  

Description:  At Monday's meeting I will bring forward a draft of guidelines that I think will be helpful as we invite in or receive requests for elected officials to speak or interact with our students at school.  We encourage these interactions and dialogs to help our students learn about our government and how it works, and understand the issues that are in front of our elected bodies.  These guidelines are meant to provide parameters for these interactions so that clear expectations are understood by the elected officials, staff, students, and parents.  The guidelines will also have parameters on related activities that could involve the schools.

Description:  As we progress with facility planning, at a point in the future, we will need to determine if an evaluation of our designated hazardous transportation zones needs to be reconsidered.

The following link leads to information from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction on this matter:

Additionally, attached is a sample policy from WASB on this topic that I have attached for discussion.

Attorney Dan Mallin from WASB shared the following statement with me.  "Some districts implement the relevant statutory requirements without a board policy, recognizing that the board will approve the district’s "plan" and that the state statutes spell out specific rights to submit complaints and appeals. But, this sample provides somewhat more of a framework.
than exists in the statutes."

This item is for discussion and feedback purposes, and administration is not asking for any action from the Committee at this time.

Description:  The high school administration has informed me that this form is no longer used by the high school for Junior/Senior Release.  I recommend removal.
