Waunakee School District BOE Video Live Stream

The Waunakee School District Board of Education held a cash-flow borrowing and operational policy meeting on August 25, 2026. The board considered a resolution authorizing up to $13.1 million in temporary borrowing to bridge the timing gap between state aid and property-tax receipts and meet payroll and accounts-payable obligations. District staff said the borrowing would be coordinated with seven other districts to reduce costs and would likely cover about four to five months. A motion to approve the borrowing was made and seconded, but the transcript does not capture the vote or outcome.

The board also reviewed a draft policy on use of operational referendum funds for compensation, rather than adding positions or programs, and on potentially reducing the local levy if future state funding supports those costs. Members requested clearer wording about state aid, revenue limits, and the resulting taxpayer impact. The board deferred approval and plans to revisit the draft in September. No vendor selection, contract award, or purchasing decision was identified.
