Administrative Reports: 

Kathy Koether reported that the last session of Summer School will be the first two weeks in August. The number of participants is lower this year. Transportation will be provided. Registration will be done online again this year, except for preschool. August 19 will be an in-person Meet the Teacher Night. 

Larry Meyer reported that security issues are being addressed and that more cameras will be added throughout the school. There have been a couple of classroom changes. Staffing for the upcoming year is almost complete. 

Denise Mueller reported that all teachers needed for McGregor have been hired. Lighting projects are going on, as well as remodeling project with the upstairs counseling room. The Dr. Smith Center has been using a classroom this summer. 

Superintendent Report: 

Dr. Crozier reports that bid requests for the elementary addition are expected to go out in January of 2022. Science room updates are happening, phone and security upgrades are being evaluated. The staff parking lot has been resurfaced, as has the track. A tractor was purchased for the McGregor Center. 

The Return to Learn Plan is needed for Esser III funding. This will be similar to how we are doing things now – no virtual learning, 5-day weeks, no mask requirement, use of learning management systems (See Saw and Canvas). Any of those things could change with an order from the Governor. 

Dr. Crozier informed the Board about revised legislation under 279.8B of the Code concerning petitions. 

The next monthly board meeting will be held on August 10, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. in the Learning Commons of the Monona High School. 

Meeting adjourned at 5:53 p.m. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Karla Hanson 

Board Secretary
