The School District of Janesville Personnel, Policy and Curriculum Committee meeting, held November 2, 2026, reviewed NEOLA policy revisions, including nondiscrimination provisions and student-record information that may be released as directory information unless families opt out. The revisions were to move to the Board’s consent agenda; the committee also unanimously adopted its meeting agenda. Members received an update on extracurricular participation and costs: districtwide co-curricular activities involved 337 paid stipends for 240 individuals, totaling about $735,000. The presentation described stipend tiers and efforts to keep student participation fees low, with assistance available for students who cannot afford them.

The committee also reviewed course-guide changes, including renamed arts and family-and-consumer-sciences courses, a planned Principles of AI course through Project Lead The Way, and a pilot combining some agriculture offerings at Craig High School. Staff training for the AI course was expected to be supported through the program’s grant process. No contracts, vendor awards, bids, or other procurement actions were identified; the discussion focused on policies, curriculum, participation, and program costs.
