WSD School Board Meeting - Regular - August 10, 2026

The Tosa Schools regular board meeting on August 10, 2026, included procurement and budget discussions about before- and after-school care, employee specialty medications, and district wireless infrastructure. Administrators reported continuing registration problems with the new Blue Door Academy/Boys & Girls Clubs of Milwaukee care program and said enrollment remained below the district’s operating thresholds at some sites. A hypothetical districtwide subsidy to guarantee the program was estimated at about $815,000; no decision to provide that subsidy was reported. The board also heard a proposal for a specialty-medication carveout administered by Optimed, with the benefits consultant describing savings from lower-cost medication procurement and no out-of-pocket medication costs for participating members. Employees raised concerns about the program, but the transcript does not establish a vote or final decision on the proposal.

The board discussed an RFP to replace aging network switching, routing, and wireless equipment that is beyond vendor support, including security updates. E-rate Category 2 funding was estimated to cover about 48% of the project, and the district said it could redirect existing technology spending to offset most of the remaining cost over five years. The wireless portion had been approved, while switching approval remained pending; the item was expected to return for approval at the next meeting. The board also discussed establishing a restricted Fund 46 for long-range facility projects and reviewed draft policies, including changes to facility-use rules and recreation programming that could affect facility access, fees, sponsorships, and grants. No procurement-related vote was clearly identifiable in the transcript.
