Dr. Crozier noted the City of Monona was meeting to discuss a small TIF and that it has been the District’s policy to not get involved in the City’s decision on this matter. The track is scheduled to be resurfaced this summer. Governor Kim Reynolds has released new mask guidelines. There is no change to the current mask requirement at the school. This issue will be revisited when more people have received the vaccine and guidelines allow for minimal number of students and staff to be quarantined when exposed to coronavirus.

Meeting adjourned at 6:13 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted,
Karla Hanson – Board Secretary
