Volunteers Needed Friday for Backpack Distribution at Boys and Girls Club

The Fond du Lac School District Board meeting held on August 11, 2025, included discussions on community volunteer opportunities and preparations for an upcoming budget referendum.

The meeting began with an invitation for public comments, followed by a brief announcement regarding a volunteer opportunity for students to assist in filling backpacks. This event is scheduled for Friday, with volunteer shifts from 9 to 11 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club, located near the YMCA. Board members encouraged high school students seeking volunteer hours to participate and directed interested volunteers to contact Hallie or visit the website backtoschoolfdl.org for more information.

After addressing this community initiative, the board moved to adjourn the regular meeting. A motion was made by Mr. Henschel and seconded by Mr. Laberins to transition into a workshop focused on planning for the 2025-2026 budget referendum. The motion passed unanimously with a roll call vote of 7-0.

The regular meeting concluded at 5:49 p.m., with the board reconvening for the workshop at 5:58 p.m. A roll call confirmed the presence of all seven board members, ensuring a quorum for the workshop discussions.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the district's commitment to community engagement and preparation for future financial planning.
