The School District of Iola-Scandinavia Board of Education will convene its regular monthly meeting on Monday evening to review staffing updates, facility leases, a potential referendum, and other district operations.

The board will meet at 6 p.m. on April 13 at Iola Elementary School, 450 Division Street, in Room 6. Members will hear public comments, review financial reports, and consider several personnel and business items.

Among the most significant matters, the board will receive an update on referendum plans under old business.

In new business, it will consider approval of a CESA contract, leases for the Young Impressions program and summer activities, and a separate lease for Iola Preschool. Board members will also discuss football.

The consent agenda includes approval of minutes from the March 9 meeting, auditing of checks, the treasurer’s report, several fundraiser requests (Europe trip, baseball team, and girls basketball team), and acceptance of donations totaling $4,120. Those include $700 each from the I-S Chamber of Commerce and Iola Lions for DECA’s international competition, $2,000 from Our Savior’s Church for students in need, and $720 from the Iola Lions for the Taylor Field sound system.

Under committee reports, the Personnel and Nominations Committee will present resignations from three staff members: elementary special education teacher Maria Stake, middle/high school physical education teacher and football coach Scott Erickson, and assistant varsity football coach Max Wasikowski. The committee will recommend hiring volunteer baseball coach Jayden Sivertson and varsity assistant boys golf coach Tashiana Lowney.

District presentations on information technology and the elementary school, along with reports from the student representative, the FAC director, the business manager, the principals, and the administrator, are also scheduled. Board members will share updates from recent WASB and CESA 5 meetings.

The meeting will conclude with a motion to enter executive session under Wisconsin’s open meetings law to discuss teacher employment and preliminary contract non-renewals.

Future agenda items include working committee and regular board meetings in May and June.
