WPSD school board

Video of 3/9 board meeting

For those of you unable to attend the March 9th regular board meeting, the livestream on YouTube was recorded and can be downloaded here. Part 1 encompasses the portion up to the Public Comment section. Part 2 is the Public Comment section. Part 3 is the remainder of the meeting, up to the point where they went to executive session and the livestream cut out.

There was a fantastic turnout of concerned citizens at this meeting! Which of course should not be considered a ‘good’ thing for a school board meeting…it’s usually a sign of something wrong!

CORA request – Merit MOU

We have obtained a copy of the MOU with Merit, and it can be viewed here.

Regarding people hired to help with this process, the response about a CSI liaison is here. While not technically a CSI liaison, an outside consultant has been hired and a recent invoice can be viewed here ($2k). The invoice itself is not a lot of money, but the items billed for do shed some light on the overall timeline here.

3/9 meeting agenda

The agenda for Wednesday’s board meeting is now available, click here. Note, this agenda was updated Tuesday morning.

Looks like a busy meeting…unknown personnel matters justifying a (closed) executive session….talking about giving Merit academy space in the middle school…a stipend for the “leadership team” (is that just a fancy name for the board?). Plus some sure heated public comments.

Meeting starts at 6, usually doors open half an hour before at which point you can sign up to speak in the public comments section if there’s time.
