SASD School Board Meeting 9/8/26

The Stoughton Area School District Board of Education meeting was held September 8, 2026. No major procurement or capital-spending decisions were identified. The board approved its consent agenda; a member asked about an approximately $7,600 invoice related to Richardson School, and the superintendent said he would look into it. The board also discussed statewide funding updates, including a projected Wisconsin budget surplus nearing $3 billion and a five-year, $10.5 million federal grant to Wisconsin to recruit and retain special education staff. No local grant allocation or budget action was taken. A legislative update also covered the federal E-rate program and an invitation for school board members to comment on proposed FCC changes affecting broadband support for schools.

The board considered WASB resolutions addressing earlier school start dates, privacy concerns about automated license-plate readers near schools, advance notice of open-enrollment marketing campaigns, and stronger preparation for teachers serving students with disabilities. A motion was made to submit the resolutions, but the transcript does not capture the vote or its outcome. The meeting also included routine reports on the start of the school year and district activities.
