Student Support Services Committee Meeting 9/21/26

The School District of Menomonee Falls Student Support Services Committee met on September 21, 2026. The committee heard a presentation from the English Learner (EL) department on student language supports, family engagement, assessment, and communication with multilingual families. The team discussed TalkingPoints, a web-based translation and messaging platform: district staff said they had obtained a paid version and negotiated access for all district families, with a pilot planned for EL, activities and athletics, and library services. The district expects to pilot the broader use in January and February and will assess whether the platform can replace redundant programs and reduce costs. No contract amount, vendor contract number, or formal procurement vote was identified.

The committee approved the August 3, 2026 minutes, with one member abstaining, and adjourned unanimously. It also noted that family engagement events are supported by Title III funding. Future agenda items include safety plan updates and approval, and a library discussion; no other purchasing decisions or spending actions were recorded.
