April 6, 2026 -- Personnel, Policy and Curriculum Committee Meeting

The School District of Janesville's Personnel, Policy and Curriculum Committee met on April 6, 2026, to discuss several policy updates and staffing plans. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and approval of policy revisions related to personal communication devices and student weapons, which were moved forward to the full board for adoption. The committee also received a detailed presentation on the district's health insurance benefits renewal, highlighting a 9.9% rate increase with a transition from two carriers to one (Mercy), and the associated financial impacts on the district and employees. The committee approved moving the benefits renewal recommendation to the full board. Additionally, the staffing summary was presented, proposing a net reduction of 10.6 full-time equivalent positions aligned with declining student enrollment, with some increases funded by grants, such as the AVID program expansion at the middle school level. The committee approved the staffing plan to be forwarded to the full board. No direct contract awards or RFPs were discussed, but the benefits renewal and staffing adjustments have significant budgetary and procurement implications for the district.
