Waunakee School District BOE Video Live Stream

The Waunakee School District Board of Education meeting on September 15, 2026, included a facilities and budget action: the board approved increasing the 2026–27 capital maintenance budget from $1 million to $1.25 million for listed projects, following a 3–0 Facilities Committee recommendation. The committee is considering outsourcing snow removal at the new middle school because in-house service would require an additional truck and staff member; no snow-removal contract was approved. The district also reported that North American Mechanical’s contract is in its final year and that a one-year arrangement is available while the committee evaluates longer-term maintenance needs. Additional track-project and school-safety information is still being developed, with no action taken on those items.

The board also approved joining a social-media class-action lawsuit through a law firm under a contingency arrangement with no retainer and a 25% fee if the case succeeds; the district anticipates 8–10 staff hours and said student personally identifiable information will not be requested. The board approved an updated operational referendum fund policy describing the intended use of referendum authority for compensation costs, and approved the consent agenda, which included $2,000 in donations and field trips. Other discussion focused on school performance, the new middle school, parent communication, and the upcoming referendum; no other procurement awards were identified.
