November 2026 - Student Services Committee

The Waukesha School District Student Services Committee met on November 6, 2026. It approved the October 6 meeting minutes and revisions to Policy 8600, Transportation, both by 5–0 votes. The revisions clarify transportation required by students’ IEPs, bus-camera notification and video retention, and certification and insurance requirements for district employees transporting students in district vehicles. The committee distinguished these rules from alternative transportation for athletics and activities under Policy 2340. The district works with a contracted bus company, but no contract award, vendor selection, spending, or procurement action was discussed.

The committee reviewed attendance and behavior data, including year-over-year trends and the district’s response to referrals, and received a presentation on digital safeguards for school-issued iPads, including identity verification, multifactor authentication, web filtering, app controls, and classroom management tools. No technology purchase or funding decision was identified. A member requested a future discussion of district-provided alternatives to student screen time; the committee’s next meeting was scheduled for December 1.
