The Greendale School District board voted to approve several routine but consequential items, including a district safety plan, budget amendments that book a $130,679 DPI reimbursement for curriculum costs, a teacher appointment for second semester, and the 2026–27 school year calendar.

Administration presented the recommended safety plan and asked the board to approve it. As Speaker 2 summarized, “the board is asked to take action to approve the safety plan, and administration recommends approval.” Speaker 9 moved approval of the safety plan and Speaker 5 seconded; a roll call was taken and the presiding speaker announced the motion passed.

On budget amendments, Speaker 12 detailed changes including a $130,679 allocation identified as the 50% reimbursement for CKLA costs under a DPI grant; adjustments for open-enrollment seats, federal grant awards in special education and insurance deductible accounting were also included. “We have now since, been allocated $130,679, which was the full 50% reimbursement of the portion of those CKLA costs that were reimbursable under the DPI grant,” Speaker 12 said. Speaker 5 moved approval of the budget amendments (agenda item 3.2), Speaker 9 seconded, and the board approved the changes by roll call.

The board approved a teacher appointment for the second semester after Speaker 2 recommended the personnel action. Speaker 10 moved to approve the personnel appointment (agenda item 3.3), Speaker 9 seconded, and the motion passed by roll call.

After discussion of two calendar options that met Department of Public Instruction requirements — option A (a week-and-a-half winter break) and option B (a two-week winter break with two make-up days later in the year) — the board selected option A for the 2026–27 school year. Speaker 10 moved to approve option A and Speaker 5 seconded; the motion carried with one board member recorded as voting no.

What happens next: administration will implement the approved calendar and the budget amendments, and the district will proceed with the personnel appointment. Board and staff noted that certain one-time revenue changes (see TID update) and how the district uses one-time funds may affect state aid calculations in future years.
