WSD Board Meeting - Regular - August 24, 2026

The Tosa Schools regular school board meeting was held August 24, 2026. The board reviewed the district’s RFP-selected before- and after-school and junior kindergarten wraparound care provider, Blue Door Academy, operated locally by Boys & Girls Club of Milwaukee. The provider agreement was still being negotiated, and enrollment at some sites was below the provider’s minimums. The administration presented options including ending care at some sites, subsidizing minimum enrollments, or consolidating sites and transporting students. The estimated worst-case cost for the consolidation-and-transport option was about $97,000 for the year; the larger subsidy option could cost substantially more. The board approved a motion to provide district funding, in an amount to be determined, to consolidate and transport students and subsidize care at sites that do not meet provider minimums for the 2026–27 school year, on a non-precedential basis. The motion passed, with six members voting yes and one excused. Staff planned to communicate the decision to families the following morning.

The board also received the monthly financial report and a strategic-plan update covering academic, attendance, discipline, and student-outcome measures; no other procurement action was identified. Public commenters raised concerns about the cost and stability of wraparound care, taxes, employee health-insurance costs, and the district wellness policy. The consent agenda was approved, though its contents were not clear in the transcript.
