Board Meeting 8/17/27

The Fond du Lac School District Board of Education held its regular meeting and a school-consolidation workshop. The metadata lists October 15, 2026, while the meeting title says “8/17/27.” The board approved 2026–27 base-wage settlements with the Fond du Lac Education Support Professionals Association and Fond du Lac Education Association, each reflecting a 2.63% CPI increase; the latter passed with six votes in favor and one abstention. The board also approved no change to 2026–27 meal prices and approved a Title IX coordinator appointment. Members discussed offering the same wage increase to non-union employee groups and noted the settlements were incorporated into budget planning.

The facilities report covered safety and maintenance work, including parking-lot repairs, gym-floor refinishing, traffic-flow changes, and a new SawStop table saw at Tyson Middle School; Woodworth restoration was nearly complete, with cabinets still pending and a kiln expected after a three-to-five-month lead time. In the consolidation workshop, members reviewed updated elementary boundaries and capacity, and discussed a possible school closure, moving STEM to Woodworth, and future leasing or sale of district buildings. No consolidation decision was made at the workshop; the board indicated the proposals would be placed on the next meeting’s agenda for consideration. No new contract award or vendor selection was identified.
