Verona Area School District
Board rethinking site council powers

New committee might consider
more centralized approach
Scott Girard
Unified Newspaper Group
The Verona Area School District has

relied on its individual schools and their
site councils to make decisions since 1995.
But a slight shift in that philosophy has
been clear in recent weeks, and now the
board has created a new committee to
re-evaluate the scope and powers of sitebased governance.
Site councils handle a variety of decisions, from staff positions and technology
purchases to grading and discipline systems, but some board members and administrators have suggested a more uniform
approach is necessary for at least some district initiatives.
Its about ensuring students, regardless
of which VASD school they attend, have
similar access to resources like technology
or class options, school board president
Dennis Beres explained at the boards May
4 meeting before introducing the new Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Committee.
Its very important to make sure that
what the board has communicated as our

mission and our way of doing business
is tapped into each of the sites, he said.
How is (equity) reconciled when we have
differences in terms of each site and how
they operate?
The formation of the committee followed a recent audit from the state Department of Public Instruction that pointed
to problems with how federal funds were
being used, as well as a change to the elementary schools related arts schedule to
ensure students received the same number of classes district-wide. The district

City unveils streetscape plan

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
Renderings courtesy D'Onofrio Kottke Associates
Phase 1 of the downtown streetscape plan extends from the south end of the Verona Vision Care property to the north end of Tuvalu Coffeehouse and Gallery and includes
changes along Railroad Street. The plan includes colored concrete and bumpouts to emphasize crossings and make the downtown area more walkable.
Seeking feedback
To see more of the plans, visit the city's website,
ci.verona.wi.us.
To comment on them, contact city administrator
Bill Burns at bill.burns@ci.verona.wi.us or
848-9941 or public works director Ron Rieder at
ron.rieder@ci.verona.wi.us or 848-6801.
A view from the south shows the bike trail crossing, with colored concrete and a bumpout on either
side of the street.
maintenance stations
and bumpouts that are
designed to emphasize key
pedestrian crossings and
make them feel safer.
The plan emphasizes

the Hometown Junction
memorial area, which also
gets subtle redesigns, like
a fountain in the middle
and flags moved outward

to provide more room for
gathering. It also keeps an
eye on future improvements
to that park, like a potential bandshell or splash
pad, though more property
would be needed for an
effort like that, not to mention quite a bit more funding.
The CDA spent about an
hour discussing the plans
Monday after the open
house and brainstorming
ways to build on it and use
it. Most agreed that having
an impact on downtown
will require a more substantive change that will give
people a reason to not just

go there but to walk around
and spend money.
Public works director
Ron Rieder said the plans
will be ready for a final
review in June and bidding
would happen immediately
after, followed by construction in late summer and fall.
While there were few
visitors to the open house
other than alders and CDA
members, theres still time
for public comments on the
streetscape plan. Several
maps and three-dimensional
renderings of the plan were
made available on the citys
website this week.

It seems like ages ago the

city finished developing its
year-old downtown plan,
and already some of it is
changing.
Last fall, a church moved
into the former Wildcat
Lanes bowling alley, and
with the citys purchase of a
19th century home at Main
Street and Verona Avenue,
there have been calls to preserve it, rather than redevelop it.
But two things have been
moving along steadily and
are close to becoming reality -- additional parking and
a revised streetscape.
Over the past two years,
the city bought two houses
at the corner of Franklin
Street and Park Lane, and
it plans a parking lot there
to alleviate parking limitations, as well as traffic
issues that are exacerbated
by motorists parking along
South Main Street.
And Monday the city
held an open house to show
off nearly finished plans
and a revised streetscape
project that will extend
from Central Park (near
Paoli Street) to the Four
Corners intersection. The
first phase from the south
end to the southern border
of Miller and Sons Supermarket will be built this
summer if the Common
Council approves the plans
next month.
So far, only the citys
Public Works committee and its reinvigorated
Community Development
Authority and handful of
other people have looked at
the plans, but city staff and
architects have been working with local businesses
and plan to bring detailed
plans to some key downtown businesses over the
next couple of weeks. The
plans contain few major
changes but many smaller
adjustments designed to
give the area a cohesive
look and feel.
That means new streetlights, park benches, colored concrete, rebuilt

Theres still work left

to do, but Stoner Prairies
principal and some parents
of students at the school
expressed hope last week
that behavioral problems
are improving at the school.
The monthly principal and community meeting once again focused on
behavior again this month
after a March meeting that
drew around 50 attendees
and included harsh criticism of a system the parents
said led to continually misbehaving students sometimes violently.
That meeting led to a
new behavioral specialist
position for the remainder

of the school year, but the
man hired to fill it left for
family health reasons just
10 days after starting.
Still, those 10 days made
a difference, principal Mike
Pisani said, and parents at
the meeting agreed.
Every person I talked
to said they felt there had
been positive change, said
Maureen Hilquist, the president of the schools parentteacher organization and
a substitute at the school.
Nobody said things were
perfect yet.
The school is looking for
someone else to finish out
the remaining month, but
it has had trouble finding
someone willing to commit
for such a short time, Pisani
said. The position will not
be in place next year, as
the schools site council
could not find the funding
required.
The 20 or so parents in
attendance Thursday night
sounded a more hopeful tone than at the March
meeting, but they and
Pisani acknowledged there
was more to do. The issues
the parents pointed to this
time were more focused
on how behavioral issues
affected students learning,
Pisani noted, rather than
safety issues like the March
meeting.
Im hearing (safety concerns) a little less, Pisani
said.
Some parents continued
to question the schools
focus on the Nurtured Heart
Approach, though, expressing a desire for a more firm
discipline model. NHA,
which is being used to
varying degrees at schools
around the district, focuses
on celebrating and rewarding positive behaviors, rather than punishing negative

A few parents implied the
behavior problems could be

seeing them with their middle-school children, as well.
Pisani said the district had
a team that was looking at
best practices for behavior

Parents suggested ideas

like the schools field day,

He said a separate classroom might be legal, but

Dear Verona Area High School parents,

Very recently we were made aware of a Facebook
posting claiming a gun incident took place in the
main building of the high school about a month
ago. Specifically the posting read; "Two kids from
rival gangs pulled out guns and were waving them at
each other. The kids hid under desks...... Why wasn't
there a lock down or media informed?" The Facebook
discussion thread continues with a respondent to the
first quote stating; "They (the school district) hide
everything that goes on in this district."
First, this incident never occurred. There has not
been a single incident at the high school this year
that has involved guns or weapons of any sort.
Secondly, given the level of connectivity through
twitter, texting, snapchat, email, mobile phones and
other forms of social media to even think that an

Honor veterans by exercising

the rights they fought for
As we come together to celebrate another Memorial Day, I
want to confront some hard truths
and inspire a new enthusiasm for
civic engagement.
In many ways, it seems as
though we have lost the meaning
of the holiday. Rather than commemorating the sacrifices of those
who have served, we revel in the
first weekend of summer, search
for the best deals on furniture and
cars and don our patriotic aprons
and fire up the grill.
While each of these actions are
well-intentioned, we cannot let
them overshadow the purpose for
the holiday. So lets turn to our
veterans once again to use their
leadership to inspire us to civic
action.
When I look at our veterans, I
am struck by how ordinary each
of them seems. However, when
these ordinary men and women
answered the call to duty, they
accomplished extraordinary things
together. They didnt let apathy
stand in their way or pass the buck
to another. All shared a concern
for one another and their country.
This is leadership that should
inspire us. Arent we but ordinary
people? We may not face the call
to arms, but from all around us
cries a call for civility, compassion, and compromise.
Veterans, and their service, also
show us how we can act to answer
the call to duty. This answer does
not come from the battlefield
itself, but rather from what the
battle fought to preserve.
We enjoy the rights to free
speech, press, assembly and petition. Our veterans fought to
ensure future generations have the

same opportunities. Therefore, let
us pick up our pens and lift our
voices. I encourage you to find an
issue you feel passionately about
and enter into conversation with
your community and elected officials.
We can honor our veterans each
day by exercising the rights they
preserved. What better way to say
thank you and not let their courage and sacrifice be in vain?
I also want to challenge each of
you to deepen your understanding
of patriotism. Patriotism should
be more than a sentiment shown
on Memorial Day and the Fourth
of July, and more importantly, it
should not be politicized.
Our veterans sacrificed so we
can have our own opinions and
values. Therefore, we should
not allow patriotism to become a
point of division, but let it stand
proudly as the common ground
from which we can start a healthy
debate that can help us live up to
our nations ideals.
Now that we have confronted
some of the hard truths, lets not
wallow in the negativity, but turn
to the optimism of inspiration.
Our veterans have showed us that
we can be ordinary people who
accomplish extraordinary goals,
they preserved the avenues for us
to make our opinions known, and
they exemplified true patriotism.
I hope that this Memorial Day
you gain a new enthusiasm for
civic engagement and answer your
call to service.

Returning to the U.S. is

no foregone conclusion
P
eople almost never ask me
if I will leave Costa Rica,
but they really should.
As upwardly mobile as society is, nothing is ever set in
stone, and Im no exception.
Ive cliff-hanged about my
intentions of staying in Costa
Rica many times. But no matter
how many times Ive wanted
to stay, something has always
come up and forced me to
leave.
Recently, I
was put on the
spot by a visiting colleague
of mine from
the United
States. It was
her first time
to Costa Rica,
Dresser
and she decided to come
visit me and my family her first
night here.
She started with a softball: So
how does a twentysomething
gringo end up in tropical Costa
Rica?
I get asked this question
about as often as it snows in the
winter in Verona, so it was an
easy one. This time, I chose to
go in chronological order: The
first time I was in college, the
second time I was volunteering, then I met my girlfriend,
started a business and married
my girlfriend and rode off into
the sunset.
It was my best explanation
yet. It included all the highlights, the tense, do-or-die dealbreaker moments and the realization of my new life. Had I
had a pen and paper, this would
have been the first draft of my
autobiography.
And then, there it was.
At the end of my tale, which
she had shown great interest
listening to, there was a brief
pause, followed by her question: So when do you plan on
going back to the U.S.?
I was mildly startled by the
question. What kind of question is that? I thought.

Of course I plan on I mean
in a few ye-ye-years This will
all eh, eh When I get a job
with CEO pay! I finally blurted out to dodge the question.
I didnt know why that was so
hard to answer. I should have
been prepared. Wondering why
I wasnt kept me thinking the
rest of the night.
I came to the conclusion that
it was quite a loaded question.
Had I planned to go back, I
couldnt expect people to think
what Im doing here is serious. It would seem this almost
10-year voyage that led me here
would be for nothing. And if I
didnt go back, would I be running from the American dream?
Ive never thought much of
what other people think of me,
but this was heavily influencing my answer. How I answer
might cause people to form a
different opinion about me.
The question reminded me
of a couple I met once in Costa
Rica. They had been married
for 15 years and had no children, and every year they are
still asked about having children.
They had no children because
they didnt want any and Im
sure they decided that long ago
and that it is a non-issue for
them so I imagine they, too,
are caught off guard when the
question comes up.
I wonder if they ever make up
an excuse just so people wont
think it is so different. Maybe
that should be my strategy, too.
Maybe what I am doing is a little too off the norm and people
unconsciously assume this will
all end.
Well, heres one reason thats
a faulty assumption.
From 2004 until 2013, I
never had a single address for
more than 10 months at a time.
Whether I was at college in
Minnesota, teaching English in
Spain, riding out the recession

at home or traveling throughout
Central and South America, I
never had any intention of settling down.
So you would think that now
after over more than two years
in one place and one year of
marriage I would be itching at
the sides to make a change, if
only to go back to the United
States. But that thought has
never really crossed my mind.
I still travel back a few times
a year, and I have a place here
for my parents to stay whenever they want to visit. Plus,
with technology, a video call
is never more than a moment
away. If I do get lonely there is
more than enough family to go
around.
Over the years, Ive been
adopted into many families
and married into one whose
family tree is bigger than a
sequoia. I dont know in what
moment the question became
irrelevant but other than in the
CEO salary scenario, I think I
am pretty well settled in.
My colleague really stumped
me that first night with that
innocent, curious one-liner,
and my answer probably wasnt
satisfying at the time. But
redemption was served up fresh
the next week, when my colleague, now back at work, messaged me: Oh my gosh, Costa
Rica was so wonderful, I cant
believe I was only able to stay
for a week.
Im sure now she doesnt
even recall asking me that
head-scratcher in the first place.
Maybe that is why no one really
asks. Spend any amount of time
here and youll forget you had
that question for me in the first
place.

Memorial: Verona Civil War soldiers catalogued in book

Continued from page 1
Brothers in
arms
Eds son, John Faber, said his father

was always interested in history, and once
he retired, was able to devote more time
and energy to various projects, starting
with his family geneology.
One thing with dad, when he got
something, he didnt just do it part-way,
he would dig into it very deeply, he said.
When the family traveled out east to
visit relatives, they visited some Civil
War battlefields, which really got Ed
hooked, sparking a 20-year project to catalogue Veronas Civil War veterans..
What started as a little hobby turned
into an immense project, John Faber
said. He was in the service in World War
II, so the service has always been near
and dear to his heart.
In the days before the Internet, John
Faber said his father would travel to
libraries, doing research and taking lots of
hand-written notes.
He was a library buff; very big on
checking out books, he said. He was
very neat and tidy, with everything wellorganized into Manila folders and threering binders.
When historical research become more
prevalent online, John Faber said his
father took to the new technology with
ease.
Dad adapted to that very well, he
said. He had no reservations about hopping on a computer and doing research
and using that to put things like (the
book) together. He had the time, he loved
the research, and he also had a real good
knack for putting it to words. He truly did
it because it was something he enjoyed

volunteered to serve in the Union
Army during the Civil War (1861-65).
From the group, 12 were killed, 24
were wounded or disabled and three
were captured by Confederates.
The first Verona man to volunteer
was Edward Hawes, who enlisted
on April 16, 1861, five days after
the Confederate bombing of Fort
Sumter in South Carolina, the act that
started the war. He was the first of 36
Veronans to enlist that year. The first
Verona man to be killed in combat
was Pvt. Monroe Silver, who died
Oct. 21, 1862 from wounds suffered
at the Battle of Corinth, Miss.

that was a bonus.
He wasnt in it for accolades this

who were related through a variety of marriages all signed up.

Among them, William Thornton was
the first to enlist, on April 8, 1861, when
he was only 16 years old. His father, John,
joined him five months later in Co H 8th
Regt. Neither survived the war. Phillip
Sharer also died during the war. Warren
White, a bugler with the 2nd Cav., was
wounded and received a disability discharge. He is buried in the Verona Cemetery.
Many of the names in this document
represent a unique and interesting untold
story, Faber wrote. The War of the
Rebellion was especially devastating to
both sides of the conflict, but I cannot help
but wonder how many other communities
did as much as Verona did. We should be
grateful.

I Got You
There was a very uplifting story on National Public
Radio a few months back about two soldiers who had
been in Afghanistan and were unexpectedly reunited
after more than ten years. The soldiers, Roy Wilkins
and Keith Melick, were involved in an IED explosion
which gravely injured Wilkins. Melick was the medic
who pulled him from his badly damaged Humvee, saying I got you as he did so. The words I got you
stuck with Wilkins and he finally had the chance to
meet the man who helped save his life some ten years
later, unexpectedly, at a gym in a VA center. What was
most inspiring about this story, besides the providential way in which they were reunited, were those
three simple words, I got you. We have all been in
situations where we are literally helpless, and having
someone reach in and pull us from the wreckage, or
at least lend us a hand, makes us feel a bit less alone
and vulnerable in the world. We should try to be there
for the helpless and vulnerable in our community, and
remember that even when it seems that we are alone,
God has our back.
Christopher Simon
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will
fear no evil, for you are with me: your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

Robs Sugar River Ramble is May 31

Robs Sugar River Ramble, an outdoor biking and
paddling adventure inspired
by the late Rob Lucas, will
be held Sunday, May 31.
Connect with the Upper
Sugar River Watershed by
land and water as you cycle
through the countryside
beginning in Mount Horeb
at 7:30 a.m., then paddle
the sparking Sugar River
until you reach your destination near Paoli. After the
event, get transported back
to Mount Horeb with fellow
participants for a locallysourced feast, beer tasting
and entertainment from 11

The memorial event honors Lucas, who passed away
suddenly in July 2014. He
was a psychologist for the
Madison School District and
loved participating in outdoor activities with his family. The Sugar River was a
place that he loved, and the
event combines some of his
favorite pastimes.
All proceeds will support

CHIROPRACTOR
Q. I get pain in my jaw when I eat and it sometimes makes a clicking noise. Is
there anything a chiropractor can do to help?
A. Yes, and with great success. You are exhibiting two of the most common symptoms of
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). Other common symptoms include: headaches,
dizziness, limited ability to open the mouth, and a jaw that gets stuck. Some of the
common causes include: injuries to the head, neck or face from an accident or whiplash
injury, stress, and clenching of the teeth.
In our office, we utilize Chiropractic Adjustments, Massage, and Rehabilitation Exercises
Jill Unwin,
to treat TMD. Chiropractic treatment involves adjusting the joint between the jaw and the
D.C., C.C.E.P
skull (TMJ). This relieves pressure on the disc in that joint and allows the jaw to open and
close properly, which reduces pain and restores normal function. With specific adjustments
to the spine and TMJ, chiropractic treatment restores proper nervous system control of involved muscles and
ligaments. Massage treatment to the affected muscles will reduce adhesions, trigger points, and tension which
are all factors that can be contributing to your symptoms. Lastly, we prescribe specific exercise that works to
strengthen and balance the muscles of the head and neck. We find this 3-tiered approach to be most successful.
Q. As an investor, Im well aware that the financial markets will always move up
and down. Now that I am retired, I feel that I have less time to recover from this
type of volatility. How can I protect myself?
A. For starters, allocate your investments among a variety of assets stocks, bonds,
certificates of deposit, government securities and so on. This can help you avoid the full force
of downturns that may primarily affect just one type of investment.
Also, choose investments that have performed well across many market cycles. Past performance
cant guarantee future success, as youve heard, but youll help yourself greatly by choosing
Matt Gerlach
quality investments. For example, look for stocks with real earnings and a history of earnings
Financial Advisor
growth, and only consider fixed-income vehicles that are considered investment grade.
Finally, dont make emotional decisions, such as selling quality investments because their price is temporarily down.
Market volatility can feel particularly unsettling during your retirement years. But staying calm can help you navigate the
sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world.

ATTORNEY
INSURANCE
Q. What should you do when contacting a Personal Injury Attorney following a motor vehicle accident?
A. When contacting a law office there are a few things you should do in order to obtain the most effective answers to your
questions. First, identify yourself and state that you have been in a motor vehicle accident and are looking for a personal injury
attorney. Be prepared to give a brief summary of what happened to the receptionist or legal assistant so that they may better prep the
attorney in question about your potential claim. Information that is helpful for them to know: the date of your incident, if you have
insurance and, if so, through which company, where the incident took place, and a rundown of events leading up to the incident.
Remember, the attorney may not be able to speak to you then and there so if the personal injury attorney is unavailable, be prepared
to leave your name and number. Most attorneys will call you back if you leave your contact information as soon as they can to
discuss your matter. If an attorney is available then try to answer their questions as clearly as you can even though recounting your
incident may be emotional for you. Try and have as much information available to you on hand such as insurance information,
photographs, medical discharge notes and a copy of the police report regarding your incident. Having these items on hand helps
not only you to recall the facts but also makes the information readily available should the lawyer ask you questions. Remember
to remain patient. Your issue will not be resolved within a day or even a week in most instances. Personal injury claims take time
because attorneys such as myself, meticulously do everything they can to insure that you receive adequate compensation.

SENIOR CARE
Q. How can Comfort Keepers care for my loved in their home?

A. As elder loved ones age; there are many situations in which full-time in-home assistance is both helpful
and necessary. The U.S. Census Bureau notes that, as of 2009, over twenty-five percent of people over the age
of 65 live alone. While many elders prefer to live at home rather than in a nursing home or other assisted living
facility, they still have needs that must be fulfilled by alternative means.
Comfort Keepers is an in-home assistance company that provides these alternative solutions that allow elders to
remain in their homes while receiving the aid and assistance they need to lead safe and comfortable lives. Often
times, elders may only need intermittent or part-time care. Other times, full-time care and assistance is required.
Comfort Keepers in-home is available on a part-time, full-time and live-in basis. Live-in situations can vary,
Stephen Rudolph
from elders with chronic illnesses to diseases such as Alzheimer's or dementia where full-time care is necessary
FACHE, CSA
to ensure that these elders do not wander, fall, or injure themselves. Comfort Keepers care providers will live with the elder and work with
the elders family to determine the types of in-home assistance that will be provided, from maintaining a constant and consistent presence in
the home to housekeeping, shopping and more.
No matter what the situation, Comfort Keepers provides the in-home assistance and peace of mind that comes from knowing that elders are
cared for at all times.

Q. My
PRESCHOOL
third grader struggles to do his homework

independently. I feel like I have to sit right next to him
the whole time.
A.
Many children dread homework and have a hard time

getting focused. You can help your child by establishing a
routine. Begin by sitting with him and organizing what needs
to be done. Break things into small tasks and tell him you will
check in with him after each is completed. You can make it fun by giving him a small bell to
ring to signal hes done with each part. Gradually increase the size of each task until he can
work longer alone. Plan a small reward for when all homework is complete!

Q. How do I clean wooden blinds?

A. I cant tell you how many times Im asked
Andrea: Whats the best way to

clean wooden or slatted blinds? My gut reaction would always be to advise The
BEST way would be for someone else to do it!, but then Ive always had a funny
sense of humor :) But seriously, one of the best ways I know is to put a sock on
each hand and then grab each slat and wipe across. That way youre getting the
top and bottom to boot, and not getting tangled up in the process. You can add
a little furniture polish if theyre solid wood or a little water if theyre plastic or
faux wood to get them clean. My advice: Dont spend too much time looking
at the dust, but get outside in this springtime sun and fresh air and enjoy the
warmer days!

driving is a privilege and even the Wisconsin Statutes prohibit inattentive driving and you can
be ticketed if caught. Here are a couple of statistics:
In 2013, there were 3,154 people killed in crashes involving a distracted driver. An
additional 424,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted
driver.
In 2011, nearly 1 in 5 crashes resulted in someone being injured due to distracted driving.
While there are many forms of inattentive driving, people tend to think most about cell phone
usage and texting. Even though you are looking out the window while talking on the phone, it
does not mean you are processing everything around you. And if you are texting, and you take
your eyes off the road for just 5 seconds (at 55 mph), it is equivalent to traveling the length
of a football field blindfolded. Dont make the mistake of assuming the statistics dont apply
to you. Try and take care of necessary phone calls and texts prior to getting behind the wheel.

VETERINARIAN
Q. What is canine influenza?

A. Influenza in dogs is caused by canine influenza viruses (CIVs). The two main
CIVs in circulation internationally are H3N8 and H3N2. These viruses are extremely
contagious. The outbreak of H3N2 began in the Chicago area in March, 2015 and a
few cases have been identified in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana. It is not known how
much protection against the H3N2 the current commercially available vaccines offer
since the vaccine was designed to provide immunity to the H3N8 virus. For dog owners
living in the affected areas, the best prevention is to minimize contact with other
dogs. Consider avoiding places such as dog parks, dog day care, grooming facilities,
Christopher Voss
boarding, training classes, and group gatherings. Clinical signs range from subclinical
D.V.M.
infection, or mild fever and malaise to severe, life-threatening pneumonia; however,
most clinically affected dogs have signs that are typical of kennel cough. Of approximately 1,000 dogs
recognized to be infected in the Chicago area, about five have died from the infection.

PHYSICAL THERAPY
Q. I have a history of having migraine headaches. Is there anything that

Physical Therapy can do for migraine sufferers?
A. Over 28 million Americans - three times more women than men - suffer
from a severe form of headache known as a migraine headache. Migraines can be
triggered by a variety of factors (hormones, foods, stress, exertion, sleep issues,
environmental influences, medication, etc.) and a skilled physician can help to
determine major triggers for each individual. Physical Therapy can assist with
Susan Armstrong, MPT specialized techniques and information to reduce the incidence and intensity of
migraine headaches. Specifically, myofascial release, muscle energy techniques,

REAL ESTATE
Q. Should I make repairs to my house prior to selling?

A. Deciding what to repair prior to selling your home can be a challenge. You
dont want to stick more money into your house than you are going to get back
out. For example, a seller knows their windows are old and inefficient, so they
get a contractor bid to replace all their windows for $13,000. Yes, this will make
their home more desirable to buyers, but you probably wont get an extra $13,000
for the house. On the other hand if your roof is shot or you still have knob and
Keith & Kinsey Schulz tube wiring, those things could really affect a buyers ability to get a loan for
Real Estate Team
your house, thus eliminating a huge pool of buyers. Repairs like that are almost a
necessity to make your house financeable. Also, inexpensive cosmetic items such
as paint or refinishing hardwood floors can make a big difference for little cost. So
choose wisely when making repairs or ask your agent for their advice.

Parents: Some are concerned with a lack of consistent discipline at Verona schools
become successful in life,
make them accountable.
The administrators have
been undermining the
teachers and empowering
the students to believe they
are entitled.
He said the students
would not be prepared for
the consequences that will
come for their actions in
adulthood, and he cited
concerns from a middle
school teacher he knows
about feeling unvalued and
not empowered to deal with
the problems they face.
Two other parents
also gave the board their
thoughts on the list of
issues facing the district,
with an emphasis on what
they see as a lack of discipline.
We need these things
fixed, for everybody, said
Michelle Marten, who has
two children in the district
and has previously worked
as an educational assistant
here. Not just for a certain
racial group; it needs to be
for the entire community,
the whole school community.
Theres no discipline
policy, and there is none for
a certain group of children,
Marten added later. We
think all children should be
treated equally and disciplined equally.
The public input followed similar questions
presented to Stoner Prairie
Elementary School principal Mike Pisani at a principal and community meeting
in March. The school put
some initiatives in place to
attend to the problems and

Verona Area High School senior Noah Roberts told the school board Monday night about his problems with the school districts behavior policies and received a standing ovation from some parents in
attendance.
is continuing to work on the

issue.
Lynn Vilker, who has
children at Stoner Prairie,
told the board she was concerned we are (not) taking
this issue across the whole
district seriously enough.
My child is afraid to go
to school, Vilker said. I
worry about other schools
and other children. I feel
like weve stuck our head
in the sand on this issue
for too long, and I feel like
were getting behind the 8
ball on it.
Marten also cited a gang
problem, the lack of traditional grades at Savanna
Oaks Middle School and
the increased focus on testing as problems she wants
to see worked on.
The testing focus was
pointed to as a major flaw
by Badger Ridge Middle
School student Lacy Slekar
earlier in the meeting, as
well.
I believe standardized
testing should be banned
from all schools, Slekar
said, citing the stress and
pressure as unhealthy.
Standardized testing is
wasting time and money
that should be being used
for educational purposes.
Marten also said the district was trying to change
too many things at once,
pointing to the 90-minute
block schedule being put in
place at VAHS next year.
Were just changing so
much at once, its a whirlwind for these students,
she said, adding that it complicates measuring which
initiatives are successful
and which are not.
The board did not
respond to any of that commentary Monday night,
other than acknowledging
their hope that a new Curriculum, Instruction and
Assessment committee can

be part of addressing the
concerns expressed.
President Dennis Beres
told the Press Tuesday
morning the thoughts
showed a disconnect
between what parents are
hearing and the priorities
the board has laid out.
Its kind of disappointing that they felt they had
to do that, Beres said.
Theres certainly a lot of
elements of what they said
a lot of it was misperception, erroneous information, spreading rumors that
were not true.
Members question
grading changes
Three board members
questioned a potential move
to proficiency-based grading after a presentation
later in the evening from a
group of administrators and
teachers.
Board members Joanne
Gauthier and Tom Duerst
both questioned how students would respond to
proficiency-based grading,
which doesnt award grades
on the traditional A to F
scale. That style of grading
is in place at the Exploration Academy and Savanna
Oaks Middle School, with
mixed responses from parents so far.
To me, the most important part about the whole
thing is driven students,
Duerst said, questioning
how a proficiency-based
system would motivate
students. To me the most
important thing is how are
we getting the students to
want to be there?
The group presenting,
all of whom attended a
recent conference on personalized learning on the
East Coast, explained that
it would reward students
who worked hard and demonstrated their knowledge
through separate effort and
knowledge grades.
Superintendent Dean
Gorrell also emphasized
a new district-wide grading system isnt something
that would be coming in the
immediate future.
Were a long ways from
implementing that districtwide, he said. We have a
lot of work to do.
Board member Amy
Almond pointed to more
tangible problems such
a grading system could
cause, such as having no
chance to join the National
Honor Society. Almond has
a child at the Exploration
Academy.
They dont even have a
chance to apply, and I find
that very troubling because
we have students in EA that
are pretty amazing kids,
Almond said. I dont know
what else is out there that
they cant participate in
because we dont give them
a number.
Gorrell gets raise

The board approved a
2.43 percent raise for Gorrell for the 2014-15 school
year, bringing his salary to
$162,208.15
Its the same percentage
raise the rest of administrative staff received, Beres
said.
The rest of Gorrells contract, including bonuses,
remained the same as last
year, Beres said.
Business manager
The district reported its
planning efforts for whats
next after longtime business
manager Chris Murphys
planned June 30 retirement.
The board authorized
Gorrell to negotiate with an
accounting firm to manage
the districts business for a
minimum of 30 days.
Just a fresh set of eyes to
look at the operation of the
district, Beres said.
He said its undecided
how the district will proceed after the contract ends,
with the possibility to continue a consulting-style
relationship, rather than hiring a business manager.
If this works well, there
might be a possibility we
would just go this direction, he said.
Ask the Verona
Q. How
Q. Should I contribute to a Roth or a regular 401k?

A. Many companies offer Roth 401ks in addition to traditional, deductible 401k
accounts. Opinions vary widely about whether a Roth account is a) the best thing
since sliced bread or b) a sinister trap (the rules could change!).
Roth accounts dont provide an immediate tax deduction, but earnings are completely
free from any tax, if you follow the distribution rules. Young Roth investors could be
the big winners since their money has a long time to grow.
Greg Andrews, CPA Traditional 401ks are designed to postpone taxable income until retirement when your
tax rate is lower. Many retirees find they are NOT in a lower tax bracket when they
retire, however. A Roth account might have worked better for them.
A compromise - splitting your contributions between Roth and Traditional 401k
accounts might protect at least some of your retirement savings from future changes
in the rules. Talk to your financial advisor if youd like help sorting out your options.

ADVERTISING
Q. Are powered toothbrushes better than manual brushes?

A. If a manual toothbrush is used for the appropriate amount of time and done
with the proper technique it can perform just as well as a Sonic or powered
toothbrush. The reality is that most people dont brush for the recommended
two to three minutes. If they do brush for the recommended time, sometimes the
technique isn't what it needs to be. People with limited dexterity, arthritis, orthodontic brackets or braces, and those with periodontal disease usually benefit the
Dr. James Sands, DDS most from an electric toothbrush. Children are also good candidates for powered
brushes as their brushing habits tend to be less than optimal. The cost for some
of the best powered toothbrushes can be upwards of $150. Does everyone need
one of these brushes? They certainly do not. However, if youve recently needed
any dental work, chances are good youd benefit from a powered brush. Ask your
dentist if you have any questions about what brush might be best for you.

HEATING/COOLING
efficient is my air conditioner, and should I consider

replacing it?
A. The efficiency of your air conditioner is based on its SEER rating and
how well it has been maintained. Air conditioners that are 15 years old or
more probably fall into the 6-8 SEER rating range. A new 13-16 SEER
air conditioner could give you savings in the 35-60% range over your
existing unit. Even air conditioners installed as little as 5 years ago could
cost 20-35% more to operate than todays models. Any repairs needed
in addition to energy savings may justify replacing even these units. For
these and any other questions on your HVAC system, contact Dave at
OK Heating & Air Conditioning.

Joined by junior Lexi Alt and sophomore Sieanna Mitchell, the quartet not
only secured victories on the 4x100- and

Us all working together to achieve that

Verona picked up his 200th

career coaching victory last
week, but saw his team give
away a second Big Eight
Conference game that could
have cost the team a shot at a
second consecutive Big Eight
Conference title.
Verona 8, Mad. East 2

Despite Madison East trailing Verona by three games in
the Big Eight Conference title
chase, sophomore Quin Nelson didnt feel any pressure
stepping into the circle Thursday afternoon at Olbrich Park
for an ailing starter Alyssa
Erdman.
Stepping back in the circle
for the first time since watching the Wildcats squander
a 6-0 first inning lead on
Tuesday, Nelson was excited

to help Verona get back on
track against Madison East.
I felt coming back from
that game against Beloit, we
needed to come out tonight
with a win, Nelson said. I
was really excited to go out
there tonight and do what I
know how to do.
Though the Wildcats once
again jumped out to a quick
six-run advantage, Thursdays
8-2 Big Eight Conference victory never had the same feeling as the teams loss to the
Purple Knights.
I thought we were ready to
keep fighting, Anderson said.
We still didnt score a lot
more runs after the first couple of innings, but we seemed
like a different team.

Girls track: Cats take fourth at conference meet

1:44.85 also established a new conference record.
Fridays conference meet in Verona
was believed to be the first in around
18 years.
It was really special to win on our
home track in front of our friends,
Schmaltz said. It was great to have
all the support of people here cheering
us on.
The same quartet posted a 50.1 to
take the 4x100 as well.
Veronas only other victory came
in the pole vault where senior Hannah
Semmann reached a personal best 10
foot, 3 inches to earn her first conference title the Wildcats lone individual championship.
Verona finished fourth overall with
77 points. Sun Prairie held off Beloit
Memorial 149.5-145 to take top
honors. Middleton (115.5) rounded

out the top three.
It was quite obvious that the top
three were going to be Sun Prairie,
Middleton and Beloit in some order,
Verona head coach Mark Happel said.
I figured we had a shot to be fourth
even without maxing people out in
multiple events.
Im really pleased with our performance all the way through the lineup.
Sophomore Kailey Olson cleared
5 feet in the high jump to earn third
place, while senior Stephanie Lease
took fourth.
Junior Europa Christoffel took third
in the triple jump 34-2 . She and
senior Stephanie Lease scored points
for the Wildcats in the 100 hurdles,
finishing sixth and eighth. Christoffel
added a sixth-place finish in the long
jump.
Sophomore Kristi Larsen, freshman

Emilia Lichty, junior Cheyenne Trilling and Alt added a third-place in the
4x400 (4:09.86).
Junior Carissa Witthuhn placed fifth
in the discus (101-9) and eighth in the
shot put (33-3 ), while Mitchell finished fifth in the 200 dash (26.69).
Larsen took sixth in the 400
(1:01.29) and junior Kirsten Queoff
added a sixth-place finish in the pole
vault.
Verona travels to Stoughton on
Tuesday, May 26, for the WIAA Division 1 regional meet and to Janesvilles Monterey Stadium on Friday,
May 29 for sectionals.
The nice thing about having conference tonight is now we have 10
days to get healthier, Happel said.
From here on, its all about getting
as many girls through to state as possible.
Boys track: Verona earns seven all-conference spots

Senior Noah Roberts and sophomore Jack Herkert added individual
titles for the Wildcats.
Clean through 6 feet, Herkert
claimed his first high jump title by
clearing 6-2. He added a runner-up
finish in the triple jump, breaking a
20-year-old VAHS sophomore record
(42-8 1/2), while Auman took third
with a distance of 42-1.
It felt pretty good to medal in all
three of my events because last year I
only did the high jump and ended up
no-heighting, Herkert said. It was
a big difference to actually be able to
help out the team.
Herkert also led teammates Spencer
Polk and Jared Biddle to a 4-5-6 finish in the 110 hurdles (15.68). Polk
(41.27) added a third-place finish in
the 300 hurdles as well.
Despite finishing well shy of his
target distance, Roberts unleashed a
throw of 139-11 to capture the discus

crown.
I was joking around that it was the
most disappointing first place Ive
ever got because it was around 20
less than what I should have thrown,
Roberts said. Im not too excited
about how I threw today, but Im glad
I was able to contribute points to the
team. I know I have a better throw in
me, I just need work on being able to
throw it consistently.
He then finished second to Sun
Prairie sophomore Demarcos
Deloney, who PRed twice during the
competition. Deloney unleashed 50-1
1/2 on his final attempt.
In addition to three conference
champions, Verona earned a total of
seven all-conference spots.
Sophomore Hunter Bourne (128-9)
added a fourth-place finish in the discus, while junior Reggie Curtis placed
fifth in the shot put (45-8).
Senior Ryan Nameth finished third
in the 1,600 (4:25.36) and 3,200

(9:32.69).
Chudi Ifediora finished fourth in
the 200 (22.77), while his brother Obi
matched the finish in the 400 (51.46).
Verona turned in a third-place finish to closeout the meet as the 4x400
team of Chudi Ifediora, Tindall,
Auman and Obi Ifeiorda posted a
3:29.29.
Pedretti said he believed it was the
first since his freshman year (1994)
that Verona had hosted a conference
meet.
I think we run good meets and
have parent volunteers that do an
awesome job, Pedretti said. The
district staff that helps out also does a
really great job. Just about every team
comments on what a great meet we
run.
The Wildcats now have a 10 day
break before traveling to Stoughton
next Tuesday for the WIAA Division
1 regional meet.
Softball: Wildcats give game away against La Follette

runs in the first inning off
East starter Ayden Romer
highlighted by Savanna Raineys two-run double. Four
singles, a walk and an error
by the Regents led to four
more runs in the second.
Though Nelson cruised
through the first five innings,
she finally ran into trouble in
the sixth when East loaded
the bases with two outs following a walk to Victoria
Nunez.
Even though Nunez
couldnt have won the game
in that situation there was no
reason to go after her and let
them get any closer, Verona
head coach Todd Anderson

said.
Despite loading the bases, Nelson didnt allow an
earned run until the seventh,
getting out of the sixth inning
by inducing a ground ball.
Quin did her job, which
was to keep us in the game
and East off the base paths,
Anderson said. I think the
key in that situation was our
catcher (Rainey) going out to
talk to Quin. Were a ground
ball team. Thats exactly
what we wanted in that situation and thats exactly what
we got.

Verona History
March
40 years ago
Town Clerk Harland Dahlk
took an expanded, half-time
executive director position
with the Dane County Towns
Association. Dahlk would later
become town chair and serve
in that role for many years.
The Verona fire commission requested purchasing a
new, $75,000 pumper truck
to avoid the district falling
into a lower insurance rating.
Delivery was expected to take
close to two years.
VHS senior Steve Duerst
was chosen to be the heavyweight representative for the
Wisconsin Junior Olympic
team that would tour Europe
over the summer.
The school district rejected all bids it received for the
former Camp Badger School,
partly a result of the Town
of Fitchburg blocking zoning
changes.
The top bid was $50,000 but
was dependent on the zoning
change. The town was interested in purchasing the school
itself and bid a slightly lower
amount the following month
but the district was concerned
it could not sell it without bidding, as the town had requested. It is now the Fitchburg
Serenity Club.
A fire destroyed the Legler
family home west of Paoli
while a woman and her son
were out milking cows in a
barn. There were no injuries.
The town collected delinquent taxes of $38,000 from
four Verona companies.

About 110 Verona High
School music students took
buses to Florida to perform in
the Festival of States event.
30 years ago
Wingra and Payne & Dolan
withdrew an application for a
third gravel pit on North Nine
Mound Road.
The towns plan commission and board had both voted
unanimously against allowing
it, citing incompatible uses
with nearby residential areas.
About 30-40 people attended
and expressed their concerns
at each meeting.
The high school hockey
team earned a spot in the Class
A state tournament after finishing undefeated in their conference.
They finished last place,
however, losing 7-1, 7-5 and
6-2 to some dominant teams,
just five years after the Indians
had competed in Class C.
The chamber of commerce
presented a Hometown USA
shirt to Donald Schmidt, who
helped bring the name to
Verona.
Schmidt later had one sent
to the White House, which
requested it after Verona Press
publisher Henry Schroeder was
unable to arrange a personal
presentation to the President
during a trip to Washington.
The school board voted
4-3 to extend the contracts
of all administrators for one
year, despite getting a petition
with 800 signatures asking to

change the relatively automatic process and provide more
accountability.
The city approved the purchase of a character generator that would allow citizens
to broadcast public service
announcements on the localaccess cable station from City
Hall. The original plan would
have put it in the library, but
the Library Board opposed the
idea.
20 years ago
The Verona Area school
board issued a public apology
to Stoner Prairie Elementary
principal Bill Conzemius
for comments made by a
researcher who had evaluated
his schools math curriculum.
In front of a standing-roomonly crowd of about 60, board
members said the chair failed
to control the meeting and
uphold a policy that prevents
statements being made about
specific personnel in public
session.
The school board chose
interim principal Kelly Meyers
over a field of 17 other candidates to be the permanent
principal. A search committee had unanimously recommended her over three other
finalists, all of whom had experience in high school administration.
Five swimmers advanced
to the state meet and led the
team to a 16th-place finish.
Junior Andrew Babcock fin-
ished second in the 100 butterfly, despite breaking the

2-year-old state record and he
also swam in the 200 freestyle.
Freshman Adam Hanson set
a school record in the 500
free, finishing seventh, and
also qualified in the 200 IM.
Freshman Daniel Babcock
qualified in the 100 backstroke.
Two others qualified in relays.
VAHS senior Ryan
Goldsmith, 17, was killed
in a car crash in Madison.
Goldsmith, the captain of the
hockey team, was pinned in
his truck after it overturned,
and two passengers flagged
down vehicles to help, to no
avail.
More than 60 East View
Heights residents condemned
proposed apartment development in their neighborhood,
on the 180-acre Van De Grift
property near Whalen Road
and County Hwy. PB. The single speaker who represented
them claimed 80 percent of
residents in the area were
against it, based on a recent
survey.
After months of wrangling over a development
on the eastern fringes of the
city, Horizon Investment and
Development adjusted plans
for a Super 8 and McDonalds
to be east of Park Printing.

Seven golds for forensics

The Verona Area High School Forensics team concluded its season with a strong showing at the Wisconsin State Forensics meet on
April 17. Forensics is a speech and drama activity in which students choose from a variety of categories, including poetry reading, solo
acting, group interpretation of prose or poetry and radio new broadcast. Students competed at sub-districts and districts before advancing to the state competition. The team had 11 entries advance to the state level and earned seven gold medals, three silver medals and
one bronze medal. The team was coached by Nate Campbell and Josh Montague.

has also had to make recent

adjustments to the level of
technology available in different schools and at different grades.
Equity has been a hot
topic for the board in recent
years as it attempts to tackle the achievement gap,
which is the difference in
test scores between students
of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The state audit determined some federal grants
the district received were
not supplementing the
districts existing programs
as required, but instead
replacing them in certain instances, a group of
administrators said at the
May 4 meeting. The administrators said a centralized
approach would be needed
to use the funds the right
way.
Those discussions, in
addition to district-wide
initiatives like personalized learning, have led even
Ken Behnke, who was on
the board when site councils were created, to question parts of the governance
structure.
Overall, I think its
served the district well
in most respects over the
years, Behnke told the
Press. But I think we do
have to also consider that
given some of the additional challenges that the
district is facing, with the
achievement gap and our
implementation of personalized learning, that maybe
we need to look at uniformity across the district in
some areas.
The committee will
include board members
Renee Zook and Joanne
Gauthier and an adviser
from the central office, as
the boards other committees do.
Behnke and superintendent Dean Gorrell made
it clear they dont want to
entirely eliminate site councils, but instead find a balance between the councils
and more central control.
Gorrell said he hopes a
plan will be in place for the
2016-17 budget cycle.
Beres told the Press any
changes would not affect
charter governance councils. The relationships with
charters are governed by
the charter contracts. New
Century and Core Knowledge had their contracts
renewed earlier this school
year for the next five years.
Site Council responsibilities

Assess student learning progress
Set goals and initiatives
Serve as a forum for diverse perspectives
Communicate with various interested parties,
including staff, parents and district administrators

was loosely based on the

idea of the Village Partnership from W. Patrick
Dolan, a nationally known
professor focused on the
restructuring of schools.
The idea was that parents
and staff at each individual
site would know best what
that site needs most for
its students and staff. But
today, with personalized
learning initiatives, changing school boundaries and
a focus on racial disparities
in such things as graduation
rates and test scores, Gorrell said, its a question of
why students shouldnt all
be having the same opportunities.
Gorrell said when the
councils were put in place,
school budgets werent the
challenge they are today,
and the decisions made by
site councils were often
what programs to add to,
rather than considering
eliminating staff positions
or cutting programs. That
put a different pressure on
site councils, he said.
Before the effect of the
revenue caps was really felt
by the districts the idea
of a site council worked
really well, Gorrell said.
Were talking about adding instead of subtracting.
Gorrell also said the
councils create a disconnect
between the accountability
and the authority on important decisions, as he or the
board often get blamed for
poor results of decisions
they have not necessarily
made.
In this day and age of
accountability, I dont
know that youd design a
structure that way, where
the people who are accountable which frankly are the
board members have no
vote on any site council,
Gorrell said.
He acknowledged there
could be some pushback
from current site councils
and leaders who support
that model if major changes
are made, but said taking a
look at governance is the
right move for the district
as a whole.

we want the equity for all
of our kids regardless of
where they go to school,
he said.
Federal restrictions
Having certain decisions
made at a site-based level
can also put the district at
odds with the federal government.
This year alone, VASD
has received more than
$800,000 in federal funds
through Title I, II and III
programs. In October, DPI
notified the district of the
requirements for how the
money is used, and later in
the year, an audit showed
some of the funds were not
being distributed correctly.
That led district officials
to conclude some changes
are necessary.
The funds are focused on
improving the education
of low-income students,
improving teacher quality and helping Englishlanguage learners. They are
provided schoolwide to the
schools that have the highest proportion of those students, but at schools with
lower proportions, there is
targeted assistance for the
students that qualify.
The way the district had
been using targeted assistance funds treating those
schools as if they were
schoolwide as well did
not meet the federal guidelines, the audit showed.
In targeted assistance,
the dollars need to go
toward interventions (for
specific students), VASD
director of bilingual programs and instructional
equity Laurie Burgos added.
The DPIs audit
explained the money needs
to be used to supplement
the education for those students, rather than supplant
other materials. Site-based
decisions can complicate
that.
For example, Burgos
said, if one site decides to
fund a certain computer
program in its site budget,
she cannot take the federal
money and purchase the
same program for another
school. That leaves the district having to make up the
difference with other funds
in some cases.
DPI doesnt care if we
have site-based decisionmaking as far as money
goes, Burgos said.
VASD director of student services Erin KuehnSchettler said a districtwide
approach would allow the
districts entire resource
base to be better used.
Through this system,
what we can do is not silo
resources but take a global
look at what do we have
available in all the different
pots of money ... and say
what are our needs, what
are the school's needs and
align resources in a much
more strategic manner, she

said.
Even when the decisions
are more stylistic than budgetary like Savanna Oaks
Middle School going away
from traditional grades and
intensively embracing personalized learning those
different approaches can
complicate things for the
district, Gorrell cautioned.
He recalled when he
began his tenure in the district 10 years ago that some
schools offered different
language programs.
If (the board) said,
Were going to fund
all of these things, then
they wouldve had to step
in and fund a different
school differently, Gorrell
explained.
If the board wants to put
a new initiative in place,
Gorrell said, it can lead
to a perception of picking favorites or funding
schools disproportionately.
Because they chose to
spend their money on this
instead of that, now we get
penalized, that sort of narrative, he said.
And Beres noted a key
role of site-based governance was to give staff an
outlet to share the problems
they faced.
After testimony from a
parent Monday night that
included what she said were
complaints from many staff
members she knows, he
wondered whether councils
are serving that function
well enough.
The idea that somehow
teachers would be afraid to
speak out thats a real
disconnect to me, he said
Tuesday.
Striking a balance
Gorrell and Behnke both
emphasized they dont
expect or want to see sitebased governance pushed
completely into the past.
(I am) absolutely a supporter of site-based governance, but I think it
deserves a look, Behnke
said. There is a need for
that type of body in every
school, its just a matter
of looking where are there
some areas where maybe it
shouldnt be discretionary.
Gorrell hopes the Curriculum, Instruction and
Assessment Committee will
standardize approaches and
priorities at the schools.
Beres said at the Monday, May 18 meeting that
the committees top priority
would be reviewing and recreating the districts governance.
I'm convinced more than
ever for us to be leading
by design and intent from
centralized principles that
this board has articulated,
I think, extremely well,
Beres said.
Neither he nor Behnke
speculated on exactly what
the balance between entirely site-based and entirely
central-led governance
might look like. Behnke
emphasized personalized learning as an area in
which the board could use
more control, while Gorrell pointed to disparities in
technology and other inequities as current examples.
Theyre all our kids,
so they should all have a
similar experience despite
where they go to school,
Gorrell said.

First reading on proposed changes
to Board Policy 511 Equal Employment
Opportunities Jason Olson attended to
do a first reading on proposed changes
to several of the 500 series Board policies which occurs every 10 years. Many
(if not all) of the changes are related to
deleting references to collective bargaining agreement, pre Act 10 and any
law changes that have occurred since
they were last updated. There have been
some changes to Board Policy 511 in
terms of protected group status including declining to attend a meeting or to
participate in any communication about
religious or political matters, FMLA,
workers comp, genetic information etc.
Language has also been added to this
policy regarding reasonable accommodations for a qualified applicant or employee and what initiatives the district
shall take to achieve equal employment
opportunities for employees. The policy
also include deleting and adding legal
references to federal and state laws as
well as school board references to policies.
to Board Rule 511 Employee Complaint
Procedures There were no recommended changes to this rule, only recommending the continuation of this rule.

to Board Policy 512 Employee Harassment It is being recommended that
the Board drop employee and have the
policy simply read harassment. This can
be teacher-student, staff-staff, studentstaff, student-student, etc. There were
also some law changes defining harassment, which can be a single incident or
a pattern of behavior. Jason also noted
the change that employees are responsible for ensuring the harassment does
not occur; if an employee sees harassment but is not a party to it; this policy
says that they are obligated to report
that to a supervisor.
to Board Policy 522.1 Alcohol and DrugFree Workplace No language changes
to this policy; cross reference to bargaining agreements were deleted and
a reference to the employee handbook
was added.
to Board Policy 522.3 Employee Discipline Set up as a parallel component
to previous collective bargaining agreement and employee handbook. The
changes to this policy deleted the terms
labor contract and inserted employee
handbook in the language and crossreference section.
to Board Policy 522.4 Staff Misconduct
Reporting No language change to this
policy; inserted the cross reference to
Board policy 522.3 Employee Discipline.
to Board Rule 522.4 Guidelines for Reporting Staff Misconduct There was a
legal change under item 3 added. The
addition includes the intentional use of
Districts equipment to download, view,
solicit, seek, display or distribute pornographic material, also a part of a law
change.
to Board Policy 523.2 Staff Communicable Diseases Changes were made
to include and delete state statutes,
federal codes, ADAs and HIPPA privacy
laws. This policy also discusses the districts ability to have a person submit
to a physical exam if it is reasonably
believed they have a communicable
disease.
There was no action taken on any of
these policies, as today was just a first
reading for all.
Consider action on letter to Governor and Legislature The Board discussed a revised draft of the letter Dean
presented to them at the last meeting.
The letter will go out to the Wisconsin

further.
Denny added that there is some
resistance to the charge that the committee has been given and at some point
depending on how the referendum goes
the Board will have to revisit the charge
discussion. Dean added that Allison
Gunderson attended and gave a brief
presentation on 5 maps, which showed
student data relative to specific neighborhoods.
