# Committee of the Whole/School Board Meeting - 11/09/26

The Mukwonago Area Schools Committee of the Whole/School Board meeting on November 9, 2026, included discussion of several facilities and spending matters, but no procurement award or final spending approval was identified. The board reviewed the proposed high school fitness-center and locker-room expansion, with an estimated $5.25 million allocation discussed alongside a broader facility concept estimated at about $16.2 million. Members debated whether to proceed with the current scope or seek a referendum for a larger project; staff were asked to return with cost comparisons. For the Veterans Memorial relocation, fundraising was reported at about $185,000 including pending contributions and an estimated $60,000 in donated labor/materials, against an overall project cost of roughly $500,000. The district may consider fronting funds for the memorial and being repaid by the VFW and American Legion; this could return as an action item the following week.

The business manager reported a projected $1.686 million Fund 10 deficit for 2027–28 and recommended that the board set a balanced-budget goal, with enrollment decline, staffing, technology costs, and uncertain state funding among the factors discussed. Proposed world-language virtual courses would cost approximately $290–$500 per student per semester and could reduce world-language staffing from seven FTE to six; approval was anticipated at the next meeting. Other proposed course-guide and course changes were described as requiring no additional staffing or costs and were also scheduled for later approval. The board additionally discussed declining enrollment, possible district consolidation, and Eagleville Elementary’s future; no procurement-related votes were taken on these items.
