Regular School Board Meeting - August 25, 2026 (Public Session)

Regular public school board meeting of the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District (CFAUSD), August 25, 2026. The board approved a resolution authorizing temporary borrowing of up to $7.1 million through tax and revenue anticipation promissory notes and participation in the PMA levy and aid anticipation notes program. District staff described this as an annual cash-flow measure, with the borrowing process expected to conclude around October 1; the motion passed unanimously. The athletic booster club reported raising $211,000 in one night and presented a record contribution, apparently about $185,000, to the high school sports department. The presentation also described a football scoreboard purchased with upfront booster-club funds, with Chippewa Valley Orthopedic and OakLeaf Clinics repaying the cost over three years.

The board heard that proposals for the Waltz donation process may be revised and resubmitted within a common window, and staff will develop evaluation criteria; no award was made at this meeting. The district also presented plans to move to ParentSquare district-wide and to introduce limited, guided AI tools for high school students, with no related contract award or spending amount identified. Other actions included approval of policy revisions and consent agenda items, and acceptance of personnel and student-readiness monitoring reports. No other specific procurement awards or purchases were identified.
