VI.C.1. Official Newspaper
Description:
The Board will need to take action to appoint the official newspaper (Waunakee Tribune) for the district.

VI.C.2. Meeting Times and Dates
Description:
The past practice of the Board of Education is to hold its regular meeting on the second Monday of each month with a closed session beginning at 6:00 p.m. and the regular meeting to follow starting at 7:00 p.m. There are no legal stipulations in the State Statute 120.11 that govern when Board meetings are to be held. The statute merely states that the Board needs to hold monthly meetings at a time and date set by the Board.

VI.C.3. Legal Counsel
Description:
The Board will need to take action to appoint legal counsel for the district.
I recommend appointing Strang, Patteson, Renning, Lewis & Lacy s.c. as our firm, with Kirk Strang as primary contact. As you know, we also use different attorneys and firms depending on the issue requiring assistance. |

VII. SET ANNUAL MEETING
Description:
The Board of Education, pending discussion, will need to determine a time and date for the annual meeting per the motion/action of the electorate at the last annual meeting authorizing the Board to set the meeting date/time of the annual meeting. State Statute 120.08(1) states: A common school district (Waunakee) shall hold an annual meeting on the 4th Monday in July at 8:00 p.m. unless the electors at the annual meeting determine to thereafter hold the annual meeting on a different date or hour, or authorize the school board to establish a different date or hour. No annual meeting may be held before May 15, 2019 or later than October 31, 2019. The motion to set the annual meeting will need to include the date, the time and the place the annual meeting will be held. Last year the meeting was held on the third Monday in October which was October 15, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. in the board room at 905 Bethel Circle. We suggest that this year's meeting be set for October 21, 2019 at 7:00 p.m.

VIII. Field Trip
|
|
VIII.A. DECA International Career Development Conference Orlando FL.
Description:
This trip should have been included on the April Board Agenda, however, I missed including it in the packet. Since this is a trip that is coming up in the very near future, and involves students who competed and qualified for this DECA event, I am bringing to you at Monday's meeting for consideration. I recommend approval.
