# SASD School Board Meeting 8/17/26

The SASD School Board meeting on August 17, 2026, included a legislative update, committee reports, student achievement data, and policy action. The board unanimously approved the presented policy updates, including changes addressing Wisconsin Acts 57 and 89 on grooming, professional boundaries, and appropriate staff communication with students. The district’s policy prohibits staff-student communication through social media and directs staff to use approved channels, including ParentSquare for text messaging that must be archived. Staff training is being incorporated into beginning-of-year requirements, with the online component due by September 30. The board also heard that DPI has opened a peer-to-peer suicide-prevention grant application for Wisconsin high schools, due September 30; no district application or funding decision was made.

The board reviewed spring interim assessment results and discussed student proficiency and possible future use of growth measures, with further discussion expected after state report cards are released. Members also discussed school transportation information during road construction and a follow-up on safe student crossing routes. No contract awards, bids, purchasing approvals, or budget allocations were identified; the meeting did not specify a cost or procurement action for ParentSquare or staff training.
