Board of Education Meeting 11/09/2026

The School District of New Berlin Board of Education meeting on November 9, 2026, included an administrative report on the district’s short-term cash-flow arrangement with the City of New Berlin. The district anticipates receiving about $23 million in property-tax payments on January 15, 2027, and estimates it needs roughly $4 million in interim cash advances. District staff said the arrangement avoids the costs and administrative work of issuing short-term bonds, while the city is expected to earn approximately $15,000 in interest. The discussion was informational; no vote or new borrowing approval was recorded. The board also discussed potential financial and student-program impacts if Wisconsin Act 10 were repealed, but no policy action was taken.

Administrators presented fall literacy and math screening results and described targeted supports for students, including intervention and progress monitoring. The consent agenda included meeting minutes and field-trip applications, with the Spanish field trip deferred to a future agenda; the transcript does not capture a vote outcome. No contract awards, vendor selections, or other procurement approvals were identified.
