District administrators said the web page is intended to be a single, stable place where residents can find materials, ask questions and see summaries of feedback collected during guided tours and information sessions. The district encouraged residents to use the facilities page for dates and to submit questions and written feedback.

\"All of those questions are listed here,\" district administrator Conrad Peterson said while pointing board members and the public to the FAQ that consolidates questions from multiple sessions. Peterson said the phase‑2 page includes session overviews, the presentation materials and items raised by attendees at guided tours.

Administrators acknowledged community concerns about financing, class size and accessibility and said the FAQ addresses those topics directly, including a question about whether larger consolidated schools would mean larger class sizes; the district replied that class‑size ratios would not change though some services would be centralized for efficiency. The district also noted a forthcoming recorded update to make information accessible to residents who cannot attend in person.

Several board members pressed for clearer, non‑text communications. One board member asked that the district add images and infographics and urged creating a visible landing page for material commonly searched as \"referendum,\" even though staff said the current effort is being described as a phase of planning rather than a referendum at the time of the meeting. Administrators said they will consider additional visuals, translation improvements and a simple URL for easier public access.

The district said a community feedback session was scheduled for Oct. 10 at Veil Phillips (Bell) Middle School and listed other upcoming meetings on the facilities page.

Votes at a glance

- Consent agenda (single‑vote approval of consent items): Approved by roll call. (Tally: 6 ayes, 0 nays.)

- Motion to adjourn to executive session to consider a disciplinary/expulsion recommendation for a high school student: Approved by roll call (unanimous on the floor; motion carried). The board moved and seconded the executive‑session motion; the item will be considered in closed session per state law.

No final facility decisions were made Oct. 9; administrators said the website and FAQs will be updated as additional feedback comes in and that future board meetings will include phase‑2 updates and presentation of consolidated community input.

The numbers matter for staffing, program planning and revenue: district administrators said the increase in English learners helped limit a larger decline and that open‑enrollment flows remain a concern. The district said it will deploy an exit survey for families who leave and will report themes after a year of collection.

Conrad Peterson, the district administrator presenting the fall count, said the third‑Friday certified count so far shows 9,108 students. He also reported an increase in English learners from about 644 last year to 760 this year. \"As of 09/20/2024, 9,108 students were counted, within the Oshkosh Area School District,\" Peterson said during his report.

The district also reported net open‑enrollment outflow: a net negative of 301 students for the current year, compared with a net negative of 266 the prior year. Administrators told the board that the district is pursuing multiple strategies to retain and attract families, including promoting 4‑K and other signature programs, highlighting recent gains in reading scores and expanding communications about dual‑credit and career‑technical offerings.

Superintendent Dr. Damon Davis (listed in the meeting as Doctor Davis) emphasized district efforts to improve achievement and public messaging. He told the board administrators are working on literacy and math initiatives and that communications with the community are part of the retention strategy.

Board members asked about students counted outside the district (private, parochial, charter and home‑schooled students). Peterson said families who homeschool must register with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, which triggers tracking and that private schools draw students from multiple surrounding districts, complicating simple in‑district percentage calculations. The district said it can produce more detailed in‑/out enrollment breakdowns on request.

As a next step, administrators said they will deploy an exit survey for families who leave the district and will compile results after a year of responses; draft reporting of themes is expected in a summer follow‑up. Board members asked that results also include five‑year trends for early‑childhood (4‑K) and high‑school enrollment.

The board received the enrollment update for information; no binding action on enrollment was taken Oct. 9.

","The Oshkosh Area School District reported 9,108 students on the third‑Friday count, a small year‑over‑year drop, while enrollment of English learners rose from 644 to 760. District officials outlined retention strategies and said they will launch an exit survey to gather reasons families leave.","actionData","errors"]
