2. DPI Waiver for Minutes of Instruction: Weyers stated that due to the COVID 19 public health emergency, DPI will waive the minutes of instruction requirement for school districts that request it. In order to have the requirement waived, the board must approve the submission of the waiver form. It is being recommended the board approve the completion and submission of the form to waive the minutes of instruction requirement.

Moved by Vyskocil, seconded by VanDeKreeke to approved the district submit the DPI form to waive the minutes of instruction requirement are presented. Aye 5 (VanLaanen, Vyskocil, Garrigan, Trondson, VanDeKreeke), Nay 0. Motion carried 5:0.

3. Bylaw 0167.1 Voting: It is being recommended to change the wording of Bylaw 0167.1 to allow for additional board member remote attendance at board meetings beyond the current 2 month in a row limit. This is being requested so board members are able to continue to remote (versus in person attendance) in during COVID 19 social distancing. This change can be a temporary change to the bylaw.

The board inquired why there was a limit placed on remote participation. By limiting it to 2 months in a row, board members are encouraged to be present in the community and attend meetings in person. Lucius stated that it was put in place so that members are living in and participating the community (i.e. snowbirds live out of the area for months at a time limiting their in person participation). The board strongly felt at the time this was decided that in person participation is important as a board member. It is being recommended that the board waive the first read of Bylaw 0167.1, temporarily remove the sentence pertaining to the number of times a member can remotely access a meeting and approve the bylaw as changed. The board agreed to temporarily change the bylaw and requested that the bylaw be returned to the board in September for review.

Moved by Trondson, seconded by VanDeKreeke to approve the waiving of the first read and recommended changes to Bylaw 0167.1 with the condition it is returned to the September board meeting for review and possible change. Aye 5 (VanLaanen, Vyskocil, Garrigan, Trondson, VanDeKreeke), Nay 0. Motion carried 5:0.

Discussion Item: 1 Ashwaubenon School Board Meeting Date: May 13, 2020 Issue: First Reading of Policies/Bylaws Requested By: Kurt Weyers Attachments: Policies listed below Financial and/or None at this time Staffing Implications: Funding Source: None at this time Explanation: Policy 0100 – Definitions: Definitions have been clarified for consistency with current terminology. This revision is required for consistency with policy updates.

Policy 0121 – Authority: This revision deletes unnecessary language regarding the Board in light of the definition. This revision is required for consistency with policy updates.

Policy 0142.5 – Vacancies: This policy has been revised to include options for satisfying the statutory requirement to fill a vacancy within sixty (60) days after the vacancy occurs. This is recommended but not required.

Policy 0143 – Authority of Individual Board Members: The title of this policy is modified to better describe the content of the policy as well as the means by which the Board exercises its authority. This revision is recommended but not required.

Policy 0164.2 – Special Meetings: This policy has been revised for greater consistency with the open meetings law. This revision is recommended but not required.

Policy 0167.1 – Voting: This policy provides that a Board member’s presence includes participation by telephone or other manner of remote access. This is consistent with the longstanding opinion of the Wisconsin Attorney General opinions that telephone meetings constitute the convening of a governmental body and more recently guidance that clarifies that video conferencing is also a form of convening that is a meeting. Finally, the Attorney General has also made it clear that an open meeting requires public access, but, under the present circumstances, does not require that the meeting occur at any specified location, provided that the public’s ability to access the meeting is still maintained.

Policy 0167.6 – Email – Public Records: This policy has been modified to include options if the District Records Custodian is not the District Administrator, as well as to clarify the responsibility of individual Board members under the public records law. This revision is recommended but not required.

Policy 1213/3213/4213 – Student Supervision and Welfare: The policy is revised to incorporate a broader and more complete description of prohibited content relative to students. While posting videos is referenced presently, the sentiment captured in the policy extends to pictures, as well as video, and also to other forms of visual depiction (i.e. memes, digital imagery, anime, etc.).The intent with this policy as with others focusing on electronic media is to use language broad enough to capture those things that are known as well as those not yet conceived of but would nonetheless be of the quality of conduct targeted by such a policy. Adoption is recommended, but not required.

Policy 1241 – Non-Reemployment of the District Administrator: The policy is revised to correct a cross-reference and to clarify language regarding the Board’s discharge of its obligations relative to employing the best persons, which cannot be assured in and of itself. Rather, the Board can assure emphasis on a process designed to do so, and that the determination of whether such a person is best is a determination made by the Board. This revision is recommended but not required.

Policy 1461, 3161, 4161 – Unrequested Leaved of Absence/Fitness for Duty: Language has been revised for greater management flexibility and authority, along with recognition of potential ADA obligations. Policy 1461 has also been modified to move multiple references to instances where the District Administrator may be the administrator on leave into a single statement. This revision is recommended but not required.

Policy 2210 – Curriculum Development: The policy language is modified to incorporate requirements found in State law regarding the contents of the District curriculum. These revisions are recommended to be consistent with State statute.

2260 – Nondiscrimination and Access to Equal Educational Opportunity: The policy is revised to incorporate specific Electronically Stored Information (ESI) record retention requirements identified by the Office of Civil Rights. OCR has taken the position, in the course of policy audits, that inclusion of these record retention provisions needs to be included in the policy language. As a practical matter, records pertaining to a complaint and investigation process are already subject to retention requirements and this policy language does not change that; it simply states it in the policy.

Also included is additional language regarding the use of the District’s outside legal counsel for advice during the course of an investigation, or in cases where it is appropriate, to refer the investigation to outside counsel. There may be situations where this is appropriate (i.e. the complaint involves allegations against a Board member) and it is important that the policy contemplates such circumstances.

Finally, it is important to remind Districts that training staff and COs in particular regarding the contents and scope of this policy, as well as on the procedures for conducting quality investigations, is a critical aspect of the policy.

These revisions are strongly recommended to be in compliance with OCR standards.

Policy 2260.01 – Section 504/ADA Prohibition Against Discrimination Based on Disability: Revisions have been made to this policy consistent with those made in Policy 2260, above. These revisions are recommended to be in compliance with OCR standards.

Policy 2261 – Title I Services: This policy is revised to implement guidance on Title I service delivery, including supplement not supplant guidance. The adoption of these revisions is required.

Policy 2261.01 – Parent and Family Member Participation InTitle I Programs: This replacement policy is provided to implement the parent and family engagement requirement incorporated in Title I regulations and guidance. The adoption of this replacement policy is recommended.

Policy 2261.03 – District and School Report Card: This new policy is offered to describe the Title I’s requirement to prepare report cards specific to Title I services and to incorporate reference to the state accountability report. Reference to Title I provisions within the accountability report is included in Policy 2700.01 as well. The adoption of this new policy is recommended.

Policy 2271.01 – Start College Now Program: Revisions are made to this policy to fully separate the language in the policy from the Early College Credit Program as those are now two separate programs, with similar provisions. These revisions are recommended to bring the parallel the statutory language into policy.

Policy 2700.01 – School Performance and Accountability Reports: The policy is revised to remove Title I detail from this policy and cross-reference the Title I specific policy which details the Title I performance analysis requirements required by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). These revisions are recommended.

Policy 3125 – Educator Licensing: This policy is revised to eliminate the structured approach of the repealed Wisconsin Quality Educator Initiative and replace it with reference to remaining specific mentoring requirements within the Tiered licensing systems of PI 34. Note that a Tier II licensee with fewer than 3 years of experience must be provided a licensed mentor as well as on-going orientation and support and a Tier I licensee may require District-sponsored support depending on the basis for the license. These revisions are recommended for compliance with State statute.

Policy 1662/3362/4362 – Employee Anti-Harassment: The policy is revised to clarify that the District Administrator or the other Compliance Officer (CO), if any, shall investigate a complaint that alleges policy violations on the part of one of the COs. The revisions are recommended.

5113 – Open Enrollment Program: Policy language is added to address the distinction between space availability determinations regarding grade levels and programs, and service availability in terms of whether a service is even available in the District. These revisions are recommended.

Policy 5200 – Attendance: Clarification that written absences and personal absences include email, phone and face-to-face..

Policy 8450 – Control of Casual-Contact Communicable Diseases: Change in department name.

Recommendation: First Read - Review and bring back to June meeting for final approval.

Last Revised April 25, 2016

0167.1 - VOTING

All regular and those special meetings of the Board at which the Board is authorized to perform business shall be conducted in public. No act shall be valid unless approved at a meeting of the Board by a majority vote of the members present at the meeting, unless otherwise required by law, and a proper record made of the vote. Meetings of the Board shall be public and no person shall be excluded therefrom. A Board member’s presence at a meeting includes his/her presence if attending by telephone or other manner of remote access, so long as such remote access is compliant with State law. Remote access during quasi-judicial functions (e.g. termination hearings, expulsions) may be permitted after consultation with legal counsel.

[OPTION]

The Board's meetings shall normally be held at a location within the School District boundaries at a location that may accommodate public attendance. However, the Board authorizes the Board President to determine in certain circumstances that it is necessary or appropriate to hold a regular or special Board meeting by means of remote or virtual participation in the event that emergency circumstances justify such action. The Board President and Board Clerk shall cause such meetings to be noticed accordingly and assure that such notice contains explicit instructions concerning the method or methods of remote public access to the Board meeting and may include remote Board member participation in such meetings. Any meeting held under this provision may include voting as any other Board meeting may and such votes shall not be invalid because of the remote or virtual nature of the meeting.

The Board President will assure that consideration is given to providing the broadest scope of public access to the meeting where no central location for the meeting at which the public may gather is provided. This may include multiple different technology options so that the lack of technology access for members of the public does not prevent the ability to attend. The Board president shall conduct the meeting so as to facilitate public understanding of the proceedings, including requiring members to identify themselves before speaking, and limiting instances of multiple members speaking at the same time to the extent possible.

[END OPTION]

Any Board member's decision to abstain shall be recorded and be deemed to acquiesce in the action taken by the majority. In situations in which there is a tie vote and the abstention represents the deciding vote, the motion shall fail for lack of a majority.

All actions requiring a vote may be conducted by voice, show of hands, or roll call provided that the vote of each member be recorded. Proxy voting shall not be permitted. Any member may request that the Board be polled.

Title STUDENT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE

Code po1213

Last Revised August 14, 2019

1213 - STUDENT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE

Administrators are frequently confronted with situations which, if handled incorrectly, could result in liability to the District and personal liability to the administrator. It is the intent of the Board to direct the preparation of guidelines that would minimize that possibility.

An administrator who is found to have had sexual contact with any student, shall be referred to the proper authorities and be subject to discipline up to and including discharge.

This section should not be construed as affecting any obligations on the part of staff to report suspected child abuse under Wis. Stats. 48.981 and Policy 8462.

The Superintendent shall maintain standards of care for the supervision, control, and protection of students commensurate with his/her assigned duties and responsibilities which include, but are not limited to the following:

A. An administrator shall report immediately any accident or safety hazard about which s/he is informed or detects to his/her supervisor as well as to other authorities or District staff members as may be required by established policies and procedures.

B. An administrator shall report unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent or criminal activities, or threat of these activities by students to the Superintendent and local public safety agencies and/or school officials in accordance with Policy 8420 - School Safety.

C. An administrator should not volunteer to assume responsibility for duties s/he cannot reasonably perform. Such assumption carries the same responsibilities as assigned duties.

D. An administrator shall not send students on any personal errands.

E. An administrator shall not associate with students at any time in a manner which gives the appearance of impropriety, including, but not limited to, the creation or participation in any situation or activity which could be considered abusive or sexually suggestive or involve illegal substances such as tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. Any sexual or other inappropriate conduct with a student by any staff member will subject the offender to potential criminal liability and District discipline up to and including termination of employment.

F. An administrator shall not disclose personally identifiable information about a student to third parties unless specifically authorized by law or the student's parent(s) to do so.

This provision should not be construed as precluding an administrator from associating with students in private for legitimate or proper reasons or to interfere with familial relationships that may exist between staff and students.

G. An administrator, other than the Superintendent, shall not transport students for school-related activities in a private vehicle without the approval of his/her immediate supervisor and consistent with the provisions of Policy 8660. This does not apply to any student who is the administrator's family member.

H. A student shall not be required to perform work or services that may be detrimental to his/her health.

I. Administrators are discouraged from engaging students in social media and online networking media (see also Policy 7544), except for appropriate academic, extra-curricular, and/or professional uses only. [must be consistent with selection made in Policy 7540, Policy 7540.03, Policy 7540.04]

J. Administrators are expressly prohibited from posting any picture, video, meme, or other visual depiction, or comment pertaining to any student on personal or unauthorized social networking media or similar forums.

Since most information concerning a child in school, other than directory information described in Policy 8330 - Student Records, is a confidential student record under Federal and State laws, any administrator who shares confidential information with another person not authorized to receive the information may be subject to discipline and/or civil liability. This includes, but is not limited to, information concerning assessments, grades, behavior, family background, and alleged child abuse.

Pursuant to the laws of the State and Board Policy 8462, each administrator shall report to the proper legal authorities immediately, any sign of suspected child abuse, abandonment, or neglect.

1461 - UNREQUESTED LEAVES OF ABSENCE/FITNESS FOR DUTY

It is the policy of the Board to protect the students and employees of this District from the effects of contagious diseases and other circumstances that render administrators unable to perform their duties.

The Board authorizes the Superintendent to place an administrator on leave for physical or mental condition that affects the employees ability to perform assigned duties in conformance with the law.

The Superintendent mayshall require that the administrator submit to an appropriate examination by a healthcare provider of the administrator's choice, a healthcare provider designated by the District, or both.designated by the Board and compensated by the District.

Where the healthcare provider designated by the Superintendent disagrees with a healthcare provider designated by the administrator the two (2) healthcare providers shall agree in good faith on a third impartial healthcare provider who shall examine the administrator and whose medical opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of medical capacity to perform assigned duties. The expenses of a third examination shall be borne by the District.

The employee will be required to execute a release that complies with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in order to allow the report of the medical examination to be released to the Board/Superintendent and to allow the Superintendent to speak to the health care provider who conducted the medical examination in order to get clarification. Refusal of the administrator to submit to an appropriate examination requested by the Superintendent or to execute the HIPAA release will be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

As required by Federal law and regulation and Board Policy 1422.02, the Superintendent shall direct the provider designated by the Board to conduct the examination not to collect genetic information or provide any genetic information, including the individual’s family medical history, in the report of the medical examination.

Pursuant to State law and in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended (ADA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), the results of any such examination shall be treated as a confidential medical record and will be exempt from release, except as provided by law. If the District inadvertently receives genetic information about an individual who is required to submit to an appropriate examination from the medical provider it shall be treated as a confidential medical record as required by the ADA.

If, as a result of his/her such examination, the administrator is found to be unable to perform assigned duties, the administrator shall be placed on leave of absence with such compensation to which s/he is entitled pending further determination of ability to perform duties, including evaluation of any reasonable accommodations in the event of the existence of a disabilityuntil proof of recovery, satisfactory to the Superintendent, is furnished.

The Board acknowledges that these group health plans are required to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule. Certain health information maintained by these group health plans is afforded significant protection by this Federal law.

The Board hereby appoints Human Resources to serve as the Privacy Official of the group health plans. The Privacy Official shall develop, propose to the Board, and implement policies and procedures for the group health plan(s) relating to the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information. The Privacy Official shall verify that the policies and procedures are current and comply with Federal law.

Title EMPLOYEE ANTI-HARASSMENT

Code po1662

Status First Reading

Adopted September 22, 2014

Last Revised July 10, 2019

1662 - EMPLOYEE ANTI-HARASSMENT

Prohibited Harassment

The Board is committed to a work environment that is free of harassment of any form. The Board will not tolerate any form of harassment and will take all necessary and appropriate action to eliminate it. Any member of the School District community who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Additionally, appropriate action will be taken to stop and otherwise deal with any third party who engages in harassment against our employees.

The Board will vigorously enforce its prohibition against harassment based on race, color, national origin, age, sex (including transgender status, change of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity), pregnancy, creed or religion, genetic information, handicap or disability, marital status, citizenship status, veteran status, military service (as defined in 111.32, Wis. Stats.), national origin, ancestry, arrest record, conviction record, use or non-use of lawful products off the District’s premises during non-working hours, declining to attend an employer- sponsored meeting or to participate in any communication with the employer about religious matters or political matters, or any other characteristic protected by law in its employment practices (hereinafter referred to as "Protected Characteristics"), and encourages those within the School District community as well as third parties, who feel aggrieved to seek assistance to rectify such problems. The Board prohibits harassment that affects tangible job benefits, interferes unreasonably with an individual’s work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. Harassment may occur employee-to-employee, employee-to-student, male-to-female, female-to-male, male-to-male, or female-to-female.

The Board will investigate all allegations of harassment and in those cases where harassment is substantiated, the Board will take immediate steps calculated to end the harassment, prevent its reoccurrence, and, if applicable, remedy its effects. Individuals who are found to have engaged in harassment will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.

For purposes of this policy, "School District community" means individuals subject to the control and supervision of the Board including, but not limited to, students, teachers, staff, volunteers, and Board members, agents, contractors, or other persons.

For purposes of this policy, "third parties" include, but are not limited to, guests and/or visitors on School District property (e.g., visiting speakers, participants on opposing athletic teams, parents), vendors doing business with, or seeking to do business with the District, and other individuals who come in contact with members of the School District community at school-related events/activities (whether on or off School District property).

Definitions

"Harassment" means any threatening, insulting, or dehumanizing gesture, use of data or computer software, or written, verbal or physical conduct directed against a school employee on the basis of the employee’s Protected Characteristics that:

A. places a school employee in reasonable fear of harm to his/her person or damage to his/her property;

B. is sufficiently severe, pervasive, and persistent so as to create a hostile working environment which materially alters the employee’s working conditions from the perspective of a reasonable person similarly situated;

C. has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of a school or any other aspect of the District’s operations.

Sexual Harassment

Pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, "sexual harassment" is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical, verbal, or visual conduct based on sex constitutes sexual harassment when:

A. a supervisory employee engages in harassing behavior towards a subordinate employee, regardless of whether such conduct creates a hostile work environment;

B. acquiescence in or submission to such conduct is an explicit or implicit term or condition of employment;

C. an individual's acquiescence in, submission to, or rejection of such conduct becomes the basis for employment decisions affecting that individual;

D. such conduct is sufficiently severe, pervasive, and persistent such that it has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment;

E. consensual sexual relationships where such relationship leads to favoritism of a subordinate employee with whom the superior is sexually involved and where such favoritism results in an adverse employment action for another employee or otherwise creates a hostile work environment;

F. inappropriate boundary invasions by a District employee or other adult member of the District into a student's personal space and personal life.

Sexual harassment may involve the behavior of a person of either gender against a person of the same or opposite gender.

Prohibited acts that constitute sexual harassment may take a variety of forms. Examples of the kinds of conduct that may constitute sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:

A. unwelcome sexual propositions, invitations, solicitations, and flirtations;

B. physical and/or sexual assault;

C. threats or insinuations that a person's employment, wages, promotion, assignments, or other conditions of employment may be adversely affected by not submitting to sexual advances;

D. unwelcome verbal expressions of a sexual nature, including graphic sexual commentaries about a person's body, dress, appearance, or sexual activities; the unwelcome use of sexually degrading language, jokes or innuendoes; unwelcome suggestive or insulting sounds or whistles; obscene telephone calls, text messages, or social media postings;

E. sexually suggestive objects, pictures, videotapes, audio recordings, or literature, placed in the work or educational environment, which may embarrass or offend individuals;

F. unwelcome and inappropriate touching, patting, or pinching; obscene gestures;

G. a pattern of conduct, which can be subtle in nature, that has sexual overtones and is intended to create or has the effect of creating discomfort and/or humiliation to another;

H. remarks speculating about a person's sexual activities or sexual history, or remarks about one's own sexual activities or sexual history;

I. consensual sexual relationships where such relationship leads to favoritism of a subordinate employee with whom the superior is sexually involved and where such favoritism adversely affects other employees or otherwise creates a hostile work environment; and

J. verbal, nonverbal or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on sex or sex-stereotyping that does not involve conduct of a sexual nature.

Sexual relationships between staff members, where one staff member has supervisory responsibilities over the other, are discouraged as a matter of Board policy. Such relationships have an inherent possibility of being construed as sexual harassment because the consensual aspect of the relationship may be the result of implicit or explicit duress caused by uncertainty regarding the consequences of non-compliance.

Romantic or sexual relationships between District staff (teachers, aides, administrators, coaches or other school authorities) and a student is expressly prohibited. Any school staff member who engages in sexual conduct with a student may also be guilty of a crime and any information regarding such instances will be reported to law enforcement authorities.

Boundary Invasions

Boundary invasions may be appropriate or inappropriate. Appropriate boundary invasions make medical or educational sense. For example, a teacher or aide assisting a kindergartner after a toileting accident or a coach touching a student during wrestling or football can be appropriate. However, other behaviors might be going too far, are inappropriate and may be signs of sexual grooming. Inappropriate boundary invasions may include, but are not limited to the following:

A. hugging, kissing, or other physical contact with a student;

B. telling sexual jokes to students;

C. engaging in talk containing sexual innuendo or banter with students;

D. talking about sexual topics that are not related to curriculum;

E. showing pornography to a student;

F. taking an undue interest in a student (i.e. having a "special friend" or a "special relationship");

G. initiating or extending contact with students beyond the school day for personal purposes;

H. using e-mail, text messaging or websites to discuss personal topics or interests with students;

I. giving students rides in the staff member's personal vehicle or taking students on personal outings without administrative approval;

J. invading a student's privacy (e.g. walking in on the student in the bathroom, locker-room, asking about bra sizes or previous sexual experiences);

K. going to a student's home for non-educational purposes;

L. inviting students to the staff member's home without proper chaperones (i.e. another staff member or parent of student);

M. giving gifts or money to a student for no legitimate educational purpose;

N. accepting gifts or money from a student for no legitimate educational purpose;

O. being overly "touchy" with students;

P. favoring certain students by inviting them to come to the classroom at non-class times;

Q. getting a student out of class to visit with the staff member;

R. providing advice to or counseling a student regarding a personal problem (i.e. problems related to sexual behavior, substance abuse, mental or physical health, and/or family relationships, etc.), unless properly licensed and authorized to do so;

S. talking to a student about problems that would normally be discussed with adults (i.e. marital issues);

T. being alone with a student behind closed doors without a legitimate educational purpose;

U. telling a student "secrets" and having "secrets" with a student;

V. other similar activities or behavior;

Inappropriate boundary invasions are prohibited and must be reported promptly to one of the District Compliance Officers, as designated in this policy, the Building Principal or the Superintendent.

Religious (Creed) Harassment

Prohibited religious harassment occurs when unwelcome physical, verbal, or nonverbal conduct is based upon an individual's religion or creed and when the conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with the individual's work performance; or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. Such harassment may occur where conduct is directed at the characteristics of a person's religious tradition, clothing, or surnames, and/or involves religious slurs.

National Origin Harassment

Prohibited national origin harassment occurs when unwelcome physical, verbal, or nonverbal conduct is based upon an individual's national origin and when the conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with the individual's work performance; or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. Such harassment may occur where conduct is directed at the characteristics of a person's national origin, such as negative comments regarding customs, manner of speaking, language, surnames, or ethnic slurs.

Age Harassment

Prohibited age-based harassment occurs when unwelcome physical, verbal, or nonverbal conduct is based upon an individual's age, being over age forty (40), and when the conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with the individual's work performance; or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Race/Color Harassment

Prohibited race/color based harassment occurs when unwelcome physical, verbal, or nonverbal conduct is based upon an individual's race and/or color and when the conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with the individual's work performance; or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Disability Harassment

Prohibited disability harassment occurs when unwelcome physical, verbal, or nonverbal conduct is based upon an individual’s disability, perceived disability, or record of disability, and when the conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with the individual’s work performance; or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. Such harassment may occur where conduct is directed at the characteristics of a person’s current or past disabling condition or a perceived condition, such as negative comments about speech patterns, movement, physical impairments or defects/appearances, or the like. Such harassment may further occur where conduct is directed at or pertains to a person's genetic information.

Reports and Complaints of Harassing Conduct

Members of the School District community and third parties, which includes all staff, are encouraged to promptly report incidents of harassing conduct to an administrator, supervisor or other District official so that the Board may address the conduct before it becomes severe, pervasive, or persistent. Any administrator, supervisor, or other District official who receives such a complaint shall file it with the District’s Compliance Officer at his/her first opportunity.

Members of the School District community or third parties who believe they have been harassed by another member of the School District community or a third party are entitled to utilize the Board's complaint process that is set forth below. Initiating a complaint, whether formally or informally, will not adversely affect the complaining individual's employment unless the complaining individual makes the complaint maliciously or with knowledge that it is false.

Reporting procedures are as follows:

A. Any employee who believes s/he has been the victim of harassment prohibited under this policy is encouraged to report the alleged harassment to the appropriate school official as identified in D below.

B. Teachers, administrators, and other District officials who have knowledge of or receive notice that an employee has or may have been the victim of harassment prohibited under this policy shall immediately report the alleged harassment to the appropriate school official as defined in D below.

C. Any other person with knowledge or belief that an employee has or may have been the victim of harassment prohibited by this policy shall be encouraged to immediately report the alleged acts to an appropriate school official as identified in D below.

D. Appropriate District officials are as follows:

In such cases, the complaints shall be reported to the Superintendent, who shall assume the role of the District Compliance Officer for such complaints.

2. Any complaint under this policy regarding the Superintendent or Board Member that is received by the District Compliance Officer shall be referred to the Board’s legal counsel, who shall assume the role of the District Compliance Officer for such complaints.

Further, nothing in this policy shall prevent any person from reporting harassment directly to the Superintendent.

F. To provide individuals with options for reporting harassment to an individual of the gender with which they feel most comfortable, the District shall designate both a male and a female District Compliance Officer.

District Compliance Officers

The Board designates the following individuals to serve as the District’s "Compliance Officers" (hereinafter referred to as the "COs").

Tammy Nicholson Director of Pupil Services 920-492-2905 x1010 1055 Griffith Lane Green Bay WI 54304 [email protected]

Keith Lucius Assistant Superintendent of Schools for Student/Staff Resources 920-492-2905 x1005 1055 Griffiths Lane Green Bay, WI 54304 [email protected]

The names, titles, and contact information of these individuals will be published annually on the School District's website.

A CO will be available during regular school/work hours to discuss concerns related to harassment, to assist students, other members of the School District community, and third parties who seek support or advice when informing another individual about "unwelcome" conduct.

The COs are assigned to accept complaints of harassment directly from any member of the School District community or a visitor to the District, or to receive complaints that are initially filed with a school building administrator. Upon receipt of a complaint either directly or through a school building administrator, a CO will begin either an investigation or the CO will designate a specific individual to conduct such a process. The CO will prepare recommendations or will oversee the preparation of such recommendations. All members of the School District community should report incidents of harassment that are reported to them to the CO within two (2) business days of learning of the incident.

Investigation and Complaint Procedure

Any employee or other member of the School District community or visitor to the District who believes that s/he has been subjected to harassment or has witnessed harassment of another may seek resolution of his/her complaint through the procedures as described below. Further, a process for investigating claims of harassment and a process for rendering a decision regarding whether the claim of harassment was substantiated are set forth below.

Once the complaint process begins, the investigation will be completed in a timely manner (ordinarily, within fifteen (15) business days of the complaint being received).

Complaint Procedure

An individual who believes s/he has been subjected to harassment hereinafter referred to as the "complainant," may file a complaint, either orally or in writing with a teacher, Principal, CO, Superintendent, or other supervisory employee. As noted above, any complaint received regarding the Superintendent or a Board member shall be referred to the Board’s legal counsel, who shall assume the role of the CO for such complaints. Additionally, if the complaint is regarding a CO, the complaint shall be reported to the Superintendent, who shall assume the role of the CO for such complaints. Additionally, if the complaint is regarding a CO, the complaint shall be reported to the District Administrator, who may, in consultation with the other CO, if any, assume the role of the CO for such complaint.

Due to the sensitivity surrounding complaints of harassment, timelines are flexible for initiating the complaint process; however, individuals should make every effort to file a complaint within thirty (30) calendar days after the conduct occurs while the facts are known and potential witnesses are available. If a Complainant informs a Principal, Superintendent, or other supervisory employee, either orally or in writing, about any complaint of discrimination or retaliation, that employee must report such information to the CO within two (2) business days.

Throughout the course of the process as described herein, the CO should keep the parties informed of the status of the investigation and the decision-making process.

All written complaints must include the following information to the extent it is available: the identity of the individual believed to have engaged in, or be actively engaging in, harassment; a detailed description of the facts upon which the complaint is based; and a list of potential witnesses.

If the complainant is unwilling or unable to provide a written statement including the information set forth above, the CO shall ask for such details in an oral interview. Thereafter the CO will prepare a written summary of the oral interview, and the complainant will be asked to verify the accuracy of the reported charge by signing the document.

Upon receiving a complaint, the CO will consider whether any action should be taken in the investigatory phase to protect the complainant from further harassment or retaliation including but not limited to a change of work assignment or schedule for the complainant and/or the alleged harasser. In making such a determination, the CO should consult the Complainant to assess his/her position to the proposed action. If the Complainant is unwilling to consent to the proposed change, the CO may still take whatever actions s/he deems appropriate in consultation with the Superintendent. No temporary arrangements shall be disciplinary to either the complainant or respondent.

Within two (2) business days of receiving a complaint, the CO will inform the individual alleged to have engaged in the harassing or retaliatory conduct, hereinafter referred to as the "Respondent", that a complaint has been received.

The Respondent is not entitled to receive a copy of any written complaint unless the CO determines it is appropriate to do so; however, the Respondent will be informed about the nature of the allegations. The CO shall inform the Respondent of the requirements of this policy, which may include providing the Respondent with a copy of this policy or information about where to find it. Respondent shall be afforded the opportunity to submit a written response to the complaint. The CO shall inform the Respondent of the Respondent's deadline to provide the CO with the written response to the allegations in the complaint.

Within five (5) business days of receiving the complaint, the CO will initiate a formal investigation to determine whether the complainant has been subject to offensive conduct/harassment.

Although certain cases may require additional time, the CO will attempt to complete an investigation into the allegations of harassment within fifteen (15) calendar days of receiving the formal complaint. The investigation will include:

A. interviews with the complainant;

B. interviews with the respondent;

C. interviews with any other witnesses who may reasonably be expected to have any information relevant to the allegations, as determined by the CO;

D. consideration of any documentation or other evidence presented by the complainant, respondent, or any other witness which is reasonably believed to be relevant to the allegations, as determined by the CO.

At the conclusion of the investigation, the CO shall prepare and deliver a written report to the Superintendent that summarizes the evidence gathered during the investigation and provides recommendations based on the evidence and the definition of harassment as provided in this policy and State and Federal law as to whether the complainant has been subjected to harassment. The COs recommendations must be based upon the totality of the circumstances, including the ages and maturity levels of those involved. The CO may consult with the Board's aAttorney during the course of the investigatory process and/or before finalizing the report to the Superintendent.

In cases where no District CO is able to investigate a complaint due to concerns regarding conflicts, bias or partiality, or for other reasons that impair the CO's ability to conduct an investigation, the CO may ( ) in consultation with the District Administrator or Board President, [END OF OPTION] engage outside legal counsel to conduct the investigation consistent with this policy.

Absent extenuating circumstances, within five (5) business days of receiving the report of the CO, the Superintendent must either issue a final decision regarding whether or not the complaint of harassment has been substantiated or request further investigation. A copy of the Superintendent's final decision will be delivered to both the complainant and the respondent.

If the Superintendent requests additional investigation, the Superintendent must specify the additional information that is to be gathered, and such additional investigation must be completed within five (5) business days. At the conclusion of the additional investigation, the Superintendent must issue a final written decision as described above.

The decision of the Superintendent shall be final. If the investigation results in disciplinary action, the employee subject to discipline is entitled to file a grievance pursuant to Board Policy 3340. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to prevent an employee from bringing a complaint before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the Wisconsin Equal Rights Division.

The Board reserves the right to investigate and resolve a complaint or report of harassment regardless of whether the member of the School District community or third party alleging the harassment pursues the complaint. The Board also reserves the right to have the formal complaint investigation conducted by an external person in accordance with this policy or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by the Board.

The right of a person to a prompt and equitable resolution of the complaint shall not be impaired by the person’s pursuit of other remedies. Use of this internal complaint procedure is not a prerequisite to the pursuit of other remedies.

All timelines pertinent to the investigation process are intended to be guidelines to assure that the investigation proceeds with all deliberate efficiency. Failure of the CO to meet any specific timeline does not invalidate the investigation or provide a defense to the allegations.

Privacy/Confidentiality

The School District will employ reasonable efforts to protect the rights of the Complainant, the Respondent(s), and all the witnesses as much as possible, consistent with the Board’s legal obligations to investigate, to take appropriate action, and to conform with any discovery or disclosure obligation in an investigation of harassment. The School District will respect the privacy of the complainant, the respondent, and all witnesses in a manner consistent with the School District's legal obligations under State and Federal law. Confidentiality, however, cannot be guaranteed. All complainants proceeding through the formal investigation process should be advised that their identities may be disclosed to the respondent.

During the course of an investigation, the CO will determine whether confidentiality during the investigation process is necessary to protect the interests and reputations of those involved and/or to protect the integrity of the investigation and if so shall instruct all members of the School District community and third parties who are interviewed about the importance of maintaining confidentiality. Any individual who is interviewed as part of a harassment investigation is expected not to disclose any information that s/he learns or that s/he provides during the course of the investigation.

Directives During Investigation

The CO may recommend to the Superintendent placing any employee involved in an investigation under this Policy on administrative leave pending resolution of the matter. If the Superintendent is the Respondent, the CO shall make such recommendation to the Board. Administrative leave may be appropriate in situations in which protecting the safety of any individual or the integrity of the investigation necessitates such action.

The CO shall determine whether any witnesses in the course of an investigation should be provided a Garrity warning apprising the person of his/her obligations to answer questions truthfully and honestly while preserving the right against self-incrimination in the context of any resulting criminal investigation or prosecution.

Every employee interviewed in the course of an investigation is required to provide truthful responses to all questions. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.

Sanctions and Monitoring

The Board shall vigorously enforce its prohibitions against harassment by taking appropriate action reasonably calculated to stop the harassment and prevent further such harassment. While observing the principles of due process, a violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including the discharge of an employee. All disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with applicable law. When imposing discipline, the Superintendent shall consider the totality of the circumstances. In those cases where harassment is not substantiated, the Board may consider whether the alleged conduct nevertheless warrants discipline in accordance with other Board policies.

All sanctions imposed by the Board and/or Superintendent shall be reasonably calculated to end such conduct, prevent its reoccurrence, and remedy its effects.

Allegations Constituting Criminal Conduct

If the CO has reason to believe that the complainant has been the victim of criminal conduct, such knowledge should be reported to local law enforcement. After such report has been made, the Superintendent shall be advised that local law enforcement was notified.

If the complainant has been the victim of criminal conduct and the accused is the Superintendent, such knowledge should be reported by the CO to local law enforcement. After such report has been made the Board President shall be advised that local law enforcement was notified.

Any reports made to local law enforcement shall not terminate the COs obligation and responsibility to continue to investigate a complaint of harassment. While the COs may work cooperatively with outside agencies to conduct concurrent investigations, the harassment investigation shall not be stopped due to the involvement of outside agencies without good cause after consultation with the Superintendent.

Reprisal

Submission of a good faith complaint or report of harassment will not affect the complainant's or reporter's work status or work environment. However, the Board also recognizes that false or fraudulent claims of harassment or false or fraudulent information about such claims may be filed. The Board reserves the right to discipline any person filing a false or fraudulent claim of harassment or false or fraudulent information about such a claim.

The District will discipline or take appropriate action against any member of the School District community who retaliates against any person who reports an incident of harassment prohibited by this policy or participates in a proceeding, investigation, or hearing relating to such harassment. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal, or harassment.

Miscellaneous

The District shall conspicuously post a notice including this policy against harassment in each school in a place accessible to the School District community and members of the public. This notice shall also include the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the COs, the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the State agency responsible for investigating allegations of discrimination in educational employment, and the mailing address and telephone number of the United States Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.

A link to this policy and any related administrative guidelines shall appear in the employee handbook and a copy shall be made available upon request of employees and other interested parties.

Education and Training

In support of this policy, the Board promotes preventative educational measures to create greater awareness of harassment. The Superintendent shall provide appropriate information to all members of the School District community related to the implementation of this policy and shall provide training for District staff at such times as the Board in consultation with the Superintendent determines is necessary or appropriate.

The Board will respect the privacy of the complainant, the individuals against whom the complaint is filed, and the witnesses as much as practicable, consistent with the Board's legal obligations to investigate, to take appropriate action, and to conform with any discovery, disclosure, or other legal obligations.

Retention of Investigatory Records and Materials

All individuals charged with conducting investigations under this policy shall retain all information, documents, electronically stored information ("ESI"), and electronic media (as defined in Policy 8315) created and received as part of an investigation, including, but not limited to:

A. all written reports/allegations/complaints/statements;

B. narratives of all verbal reports, allegations, complaints, and statements collected;

Title SECTION 504/ADA PROHIBITION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION BASED ON DISABILITY

Code po2260.01

Status First Reading

Adopted June 9, 2008

Last Revised October 30, 2019

2260.01 - SECTION 504/ADA PROHIBITION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION BASED ON DISABILITY

Pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("Section 504"), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended ("ADA"), and the implementing regulations (collectively "Section 504/ADA"), no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall, solely by reason of his/her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The Board does not discriminate in admission or access to, or participation in, or treatment in its programs or activities. As such, the Board's policies and practices will not discriminate against students with disabilities and will make accessible to qualified individuals with disabilities its facilities, programs, and activities. No discrimination will be knowingly permitted against any individual with a disability on the sole basis of that disability in any of the programs, activities, policies, and/or practices in the District.

"An individual with a disability" means a person who has, had a record of, or is regarded as having, a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Major life activities are functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, standing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working.

Major life activities also include the operation of a major bodily function, including, but not limited to, functions of the immune system, special sense organs and skin, normal cell growth, and digestive, genitourinary, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, hemic, lymphatic, musculoskeletal and reproductive functions. The operation of a major bodily function includes the operation of an individual organ within a body system.

An impairment that is episodic in nature or in remission is considered a disability if it would substantially limit a major life activity when active.

The determination of whether an impairment substantially limits a major life activity must be made without regard to the ameliorative effects of mitigating measures such as medication, medical supplies, equipment or appliances, low-vision devices (not including ordinary eyeglasses or contact lenses), prosthetics (including limbs and devices), hearing aids and cochlear implants or other implantable hearing devices, mobility devices, oxygen therapy equipment or supplies, assistive technology, reasonable accommodations or auxiliary aids or services, or learned behavioral or adaptive neurological modifications.

With respect to public preschool, elementary and secondary educational services, a qualified person with a disability means a disabled person:

A. who is of an age during which nondisabled persons are provided educational services;

B. who is of any age during which it is mandatory under Wisconsin law to provide educational services to disabled persons; or

C. to whom the State is required to provide a free appropriate public education pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA).

With respect to vocational education services, a qualified person with a disability means a disabled person who meets the academic and technical standards requisite to admission or participation in the vocational program or activity.

Title IX Complaint Coordinators/District Compliance Officers (hereinafter referred to as the "COs")

The following persons are designated as the District Section 504 Compliance Officers/ADA Coordinators ("hereinafter referred to as the COs").

Tammy Lampereur Director of Pupil Services 920-492-2905 ext. 1010 1055 Griffiths Ln. Green Bay, WI 54304 [email protected]

Keith Lucius Assistant Superintendent of Schools for Students/Staff Resources 1055 Griffiths Lane Green Bay, WI 54304 920-492-2905 x1005 [email protected]

The names, titles, and contact information of these individuals will be published annually:

A. on the School District's website.

B. on each individual school's website.

C. in the School District's calendar.

The CO is responsible for coordinating the District's efforts to comply with and fulfill its responsibilities under Section 504 and Title II of the ADA. A copy of Section 504 and the ADA, including copies of their implementing regulations, may be obtained from the CO.

The CO will oversee the investigation of any complaints of discrimination based on disability, which may be filed pursuant to the Board's adopted internal complaint procedure, and will attempt to resolve such complaints.

The Board will provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging violations of Section 504/ADA. The Board will further establish and implement a system of procedural safeguards in accordance with Section 504, including the right to an impartial due process hearing. Finally, students and parents will be advised of their right to request a due process hearing before an Impartial Hearing Officer (IHO) regarding the identification, evaluation or educational placement of persons with disabilities, including the right to participation by the student’s parents and representation of counsel, and their right to examine relevant education records.

Training

The CO will also oversee the training of employees of the Board so that all employees understand their rights and responsibilities under Section 504 and the ADA, and are informed of the Board's policies, administrative guidelines and practices with respect to fully implementing and complying with the requirements of Section 504/ADA.

The Board will provide in-service training and consultation to staff responsible for the education of persons with disabilities, as necessary and appropriate.

Facilities

No qualified person with a disability will, because the District's facilities are inaccessible to or unusable by persons with disabilities, be denied the benefits of, be excluded from participation in, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity to which Section 504/ADA applies.

For facilities constructed or altered after June 3, 1977, the District will comply with applicable accessibility standards. For those existing facilities constructed prior to June 3, 1977, the District is committed to operating its programs and activities so that they are readily accessible to persons with disabilities. This includes, but is not limited to, providing accommodations to parents with disabilities who desire access to their child's educational program or meetings pertinent thereto. Programs and activities will be designed and scheduled so that the location and nature of the facility or area will not deny a student with a disability the opportunity to participate on the same basis as students without disabilities.

Education

The Board is committed to identifying, evaluating, and providing a free appropriate public education ("FAPE") to students within its jurisdiction who are disabled within the definition of Section 504, regardless of the nature or severity of their disabilities.

If a student has a physical or mental impairment that significantly limits one or more major life activities, the Board will provide the student with a free appropriate public education ("FAPE"). An appropriate education may include regular or special education and related aids and services to accommodate the unique needs of students with disabilities. For disabled students who are not eligible for specially designed instruction under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act ("IDEIA"), the related aids and services (including accommodations/modifications/interventions) they need in order to have their needs met as adequately as the needs of nondisabled students are met, shall be delineated, along with their placement, in a Section 504 Plan (Form 2260.01A F13). Parents/guardians/custodians ("parents") are invited and encouraged to participate fully in the evaluation process and development of a Section 504 Plan.

The Board is committed to educating (or providing for the education of) each qualified person with a disability who resides within the District with persons who are not disabled to the maximum extent appropriate. Generally, the District will place a person with a disability in the regular educational environment unless it is demonstrated that the education of the person in the regular environment even with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. If the District places a person in a setting other than the regular educational environment, it shall take into account the proximity of the alternate setting to the person's home.

The Board will provide non-academic extracurricular services and activities in such a manner as is necessary to afford qualified persons with disabilities an equal opportunity for participation in such services and activities. Nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities may include counseling services, physical recreational athletics, transportation, health services, recreational activities, special interests groups or clubs sponsored by the District, referrals to agencies that provide assistance to persons with disabilities, and employment of students. In providing or arranging for the provision of meals and recess periods, and nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities, including those listed above, the District will verify that persons with disabilities participate with persons without disabilities in such services and activities to the maximum extent appropriate.

Investigation and Complaint Procedure

The CO shall investigate any complaints brought under this policy. Throughout the course of the process as described herein, the CO should keep the parties informed of the status of the investigation and the decision-making process.

Upon receiving a complaint, the CO will consider whether any action should be taken during the investigatory phase to protect the Complainant from further loss of educational opportunity, including but not limited to a change of class schedule for the Complainant, tentative enrollment in a program, or other appropriate action. In making such a determination, the CO should consult the Superintendent prior to any action being taken. The Complainant should be notified of any proposed action prior to such action being taken.

As soon as appropriate in the investigation process, the CO will inform any individual named by the Complainant in connection with an alleged violation of this policy, that a complaint has been received. The person(s) must also be provided an opportunity to respond to the complaint.

Within five (5) business days of receiving the complaint, the CO will initiate an investigation by at a minimum confirming receipt of the complaint with the complainant and informing the complainant of the investigation process.

[ ] [OPTION 1] Although certain cases may require additional time, the CO will attempt to complete an investigation into the allegations of harassment within fifteen (15) calendar days of receiving the formal complaint. [ x] [OPTION 2] Investigations shall be completed promptly. What constitutes promptness will depend on the complexity of the issues, the number of incidents or factual elements, the number of witnesses and documents to be consulted, and the availability of witnesses and other evidence. The CO shall keep the complainant reasonably informed of the investigation's progress. [END OF OPTIONS]The investigation will include:

A. interviews with the Complainant;

B. interviews with any persons named in the complaint;

C. interviews with any other witnesses who may reasonably be expected to have any information relevant to the allegations, as determined by the CO;

At the conclusion of the investigation, the CO shall prepare and deliver a written report to the Superintendent which summarizes the evidence gathered during the investigation and provides recommendations based on the evidence and the definitions in this Policy, as well as in State and Federal law as to whether the Complainant has been denied access to educational opportunities on the basis of one of the protected classifications, based on a preponderance of evidence standard. The CO’s recommendations must be based upon the totality of the circumstances, including the ages and maturity levels of those involved. The CO may consult with the Board's aAttorney during the course of the investigatory process and/or before finalizing the report to the Superintendent.

Absent extenuating circumstances, within ten (10) business days of receiving the report of the CO, the Superintendent must either issue a final decision regarding the complaint or request further investigation. A copy of the Superintendent's final decision will be delivered to the Complainant. The District Administrator may redact information from the decision in the event the release of information raises concerns regarding the integrity of the complaint or investigation process. The Board authorizes the District Administrator to consult with legal counsel to determine the extent to which information in an investigation report must be provided to either the complainant or respondent.

If the Superintendent requests additional investigation, the Superintendent must specify the additional information that is to be gathered, and such additional investigation must be completed within ten (10) business days. At the conclusion of the additional investigation, the Superintendent must issue a final written decision as described above. The decision of the Superintendent shall be final.

The Board reserves the right to investigate and resolve a complaint or report of regardless of whether the member of the School District community or third party chooses to pursues the complaint. The Board also reserves the right to have the complaint investigation conducted by an external person in accordance with this policy or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by the Board.

Additional School District Action

If the evidence suggests that any conduct at issue violates any other policies of the Board, is a crime, or requires mandatory reporting under the Children's Code (Sec. 48.981, Wis. Stat.), the CO or Superintendent shall take additional such actions as necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, which may include a report to the appropriate social service and/or law enforcement agency charged with responsibility for handling such investigations.

Confidentiality

The District will make reasonable efforts to protect the privacy of any individuals involved in the investigation process. Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed however. All complainants proceeding through the investigation process should be advised that as a result of the investigation, allegations against individuals may become known to those individuals, including the complainant’s identity.

During the course of an investigation, the CO will instruct all members of the School District community and third parties who are interviewed about the importance of maintaining confidentiality. Any individual who is interviewed as part of an investigation is expected not to disclose any information that s/he learns or that s/he provides during the course of the investigation.

All public records created as a part of an investigation will be maintained by the CO in accordance with the Board's records retention policy. Any records which are considered student records in accordance with the state or Federal law will be maintained in a manner consistent with the provisions of the law.

Notice

The Board of Education does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, sex, (including transgender status, change of sex or gender identity), physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability ("Protected Classes") in any of its student program and activities.

This policy is intended to support and promote nondiscriminatory practices in all District and school activities, particularly in the following areas:

3213 - STUDENT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE

Professional staff members are frequently confronted with situations which, if handled incorrectly, could result in liability to the District, personal liability to the professional staff member, and/or harm to the welfare of the student(s). It is the intent of the Board to direct the preparation of guidelines that would minimize that possibility.

A professional staff member, or a person who works or volunteers with children, who is found to have had sexual contact with any student shall be referred to the proper authorities and be subject to discipline up to and including discharge.

This policy should not be construed as affecting any obligations on the part of staff to report suspected child abuse under Wis. Stats. 48.981 and Policy 8462.

Each District employee shall maintain a standard of care for the supervision, control, and protection of students commensurate with his/her assigned duties and responsibilities which include, but are not limited to the following standards:

A. A professional staff member shall report immediately any accident or safety hazard about which s/he is informed or detects to his/her supervisor as well as to other authorities or District staff members as may be required by established policies and procedures.

B. A professional staff member shall report unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent or criminal activities, or threat of these activities by students to the Superintendent and local public safety agencies and/or school officials in accordance with Policy 8420 - School Safety .

C. A professional staff member should not volunteer to assume responsibility for duties s/he cannot reasonably perform. Such assumption carries the same responsibilities as assigned duties.

D. A professional staff member shall provide proper instruction in the safety matters presented in assigned course guides.

E. A professional staff member shall not send students on any personal errands.

F. A professional staff member shall not associate with students at any time in a manner which gives the appearance of impropriety, including, but not limited to, the creation or participation in any situation or activity which could be considered abusive or sexually suggestive or involve illegal substances such as tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. Any sexual or other inappropriate conduct with a student by any staff member will subject the offender to potential criminal liability and District discipline up to and including termination of employment.

This provision should not be construed as precluding a professional staff member from associating with students in private for legitimate or proper reasons.

G. A professional staff member shall not disclose personally identifiable information about a student to third parties unless specifically authorized by law or the student's parent(s) to do so.

H. A professional staff member shall not transport students for school-related activities in a private vehicle without the approval of his/her immediate supervisor and consistent with the provisions of Policy 8660. This does not apply to any student who is the professional staff member's family member.

I. A student shall not be required to perform work or services that may be detrimental to his/her health.

J. Staff members are discouraged from engaging in social media and online networking media (see also Policy 7544), except for appropriate academic, extra-curricular, and/or professional uses only

K. Staff members are expressly prohibited from posting any picture, video, meme, or other visual depiction, or comment pertaining to any student on personal or unauthorized social networking media or similar forums.

Since most information concerning a child in school, other than directory information described in Policy 8330 - Student Records, is a confidential student record under Federal and State laws. Any staff member who shares confidential information with another person not authorized to receive the information may be subject to discipline and/or civil liability. This includes, but is not limited to, information concerning assessments, grades, behavior, family background, and alleged child abuse.

Pursuant to the laws of the State and Board Policy 8462, each professional staff member shall report to the proper legal authorities immediately, any sign of suspected child abuse, abandonment, or neglect.

4161 - UNREQUESTED LEAVES OF ABSENCE/FITNESS FOR DUTY

It is the policy of the Board of Education to protect the students and employees of this District from the effects of contagious diseases and other circumstances that render support staff members unable to perform their duties.

The Board authorizes the Superintendent to place a support staff member on sick leave or suspend a support staff member for physical or mental disability to perform assigned duties in conformance with the law.

The Superintendent shall require that the support staff member submit to an appropriate examination by a healthcare provider designated by the support staff member, a healthcare provider designated by the Board and compensated by the District, or both.

Where the healthcare provider designated by the Superintendent disagrees with a healthcare provider designated by the support staff member, the two (2) healthcare providers shall agree in good faith on a third impartial healthcare provider who shall examine the staff member and whose medical opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of medical capacity to perform assigned duties. The expenses of a third examination shall be borne by the District.

The staff member will be required to execute a release that complies with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in order to allow the report of the medical examination to be released to the Board/Superintendent and to allow the Superintendent to speak to the health care provider who conducted the medical examination in order to get clarification. Refusal to submit to an appropriate examination or to execute the HIPAA release will be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

As required by Federal law and regulation and Board Policy 4122.02, the Superintendent shall direct the provider designated by the Board to conduct the examination not to collect genetic information or provide any genetic information, including the individual’s family medical history, in the report of the medical examination.

Pursuant to State law and in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended (ADA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), the results of any such examination shall be treated as a confidential medical record and will be exempt from release, except as provided by law. If the District inadvertently receives genetic information about an individual who is required to submit to an appropriate examination from the medical provider, it shall be treated as a confidential medical record as required by the ADA.

If, as a result of his/her such examination, the support staff member is found to be unfit to perform assigned duties, the support staff member shall be placed on leave with such compensation to which s/he is entitled pending further determination of ability to perform duties, including evaluation of any reasonable accommodations in the event of the existence of a disabilityuntil proof of recovery, satisfactory to the Superintendent, is furnished.

Should a support staff member refuse to submit to an examination following the exhaustion of proper appeals, the Superintendent shall consider the certification of charges for reasons of insubordination.

The Superintendent may designate any period of leave under this policy as qualifying leave under State and/or Federal FMLA leave entitlement consistent with Policy 4430.01 as provided by law.

Title STUDENT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE

Code po4213

Status First Reading

Adopted June 9, 2008

Last Revised August 14, 2019

4213 - STUDENT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE

Support staff members may be confronted with situations which, if handled incorrectly, could result in liability to the District, personal liability to the staff member, and/or harm to the welfare of the student(s). It is the intent of the Board to direct the preparation of guidelines that would minimize that possibility.

A support staff member, or a person who works or volunteers with children, who is found to have had sexual contact with any student shall be referred to the proper authorities and be subject to discipline up to and including discharge.

This policy should not be construed as affecting any obligation on the part of staff to report suspected child abuse under Wis. Stats. 48.981 and Policy 8462.

Each District support staff member shall maintain a standard of care for the supervision, control, and protection of students commensurate with his/her assigned duties and responsibilities which include, but are not limited to the following standards:

A. A support staff member shall report immediately any accident or safety hazard about which s/he is informed or detects to his/her supervisor as well as to other authorities or District staff members as may be required by established policies and procedures. Further, each support staff member shall also promptly report to the Principal any accident or safety hazard s/he detects.

B. A support staff member shall report unsafe, potentially harmful, dangerous, violent or criminal activities, or threat of these activities by students to the Superintendent and local public safety agencies and/or school officials in accordance with Policy 8420 - School Safety. Additionally, each support staff member shall also promptly report to the Principal any knowledge of threats of violence by students.

C. A support staff member shall not send students on any personal errands.

D. A support staff member shall not associate with students at any time in a manner which gives the appearance of impropriety, including, but not limited to, the creation or participation in any situation or activity which could be considered abusive or sexually suggestive or involve illegal substances such as tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. Any sexual or other inappropriate conduct with a student by any staff member will subject the offender to potential criminal liability and District discipline up to and including termination of employment.

This provision should not be construed as precluding a support staff member from associating with students in private for legitimate or proper reasons.

E. A support staff member shall not disclose personally identifiable information about a student to third parties unless specifically authorized by law or the student's parent(s) to do so.

F. A support staff member shall not transport students for school-related activities in a private vehicle without the approval of his/her immediate supervisor and consistent with the provisions of Policy 8660. This does not apply to any student who is the support staff member's family member.

G. A student shall not be required to perform work or services that may be detrimental to his/her health.

H. Staff members are discouraged from engaging in social media and online networking media (see also Policy 7544), except for appropriate academic, extra-curricular, and/or professional uses only

I. Staff members are expressly prohibited from posting any picture, video, meme, or other visual depiction or comment pertaining to any student on personal or unauthorized social networking media or similar forums.

Since most information concerning a child in school, other than directory information described in Policy 8330 - Student Records, is a confidential student record under Federal and State laws, any staff member who shares confidential information with another person not authorized to receive the information may be subject to discipline and/or civil liability. This includes, but is not limited to, information concerning assessments, grades, behavior, family background, and alleged child abuse.

Pursuant to the laws of the State and Board Policy 8462, each support staff member shall report to the proper legal authorities immediately, any sign of suspected child abuse, abandonment, or neglect.

Title ATTENDANCE

Code po5200

Status First Reading

Adopted June 1, 2008

Last Revised January 8, 2020

5200 - ATTENDANCE

State law requires the Board to enforce the regular attendance of students. Further, the Board recognizes that the District's educational program is predicated upon the presence of the student and requires continuity of instruction and classroom participation. The regular contact of students with one another in the classroom and their participation in a well-planned instructional activity under the tutelage of a competent teacher are vital to this purpose.

All children between six (6) and eighteen (18) years of age shall attend school regularly during the full period and hours, religious holidays excepted, that the school in which the child is enrolled is in session until the end of the term, quarter, or semester of the school year in which the child becomes eighteen (18) years of age, unless they fall under an exception under State law, this policy, or administrative guideline issued under this policy. A child who is enrolled in five (5) year-old kindergarten shall attend school regularly, religious holidays excepted, during the full period and hours that kindergarten is in session until the end of the school term.

Parent or Guardian Written Excuse Required

The Superintendent shall require, from the parent or guardian of each student or from an adult student, who has been absent for any reason a written, signed, dated statement stating the reason for the absence and the time period covered by the absence. The Board reserves the right to verify such statements and to investigate the cause of each single absence.

School Attendance Officer

The Superintendent shall designate an administrator at each school to be the School Attendance Officer. The School Attendance Officer shall perform any duties and responsibilities s/he is required to perform by State law, this policy, and any administrative guidelines issued by the school. The duties of the School Attendance Officer shall include, but not be limited to, the following.

A. Determining daily from attendance reports submitted by teachers which students enrolled in the school are absent from school and whether the absence is excused.

B. Submitting to the Superintendent, on or before August 1st of each year, a report of the number of students enrolled in the school who were absent in the previous year and whether the absences were excused. The Superintendent shall then submit this information to the State Superintendent.

C. Providing student attendance information to individuals and agencies for purposes authorized by State law and the Board's Policy 8330 - Student Records.

Excused Absences

As required under State law, a student shall be excused from school for the following reasons:

A. Physical or Mental Condition

The student is temporarily not in proper physical or mental condition to attend a school program.

B. Obtaining Religious Instruction

To enable the student to obtain religious instruction outside the school during the required school period (see Policy 5223 - Absences for Religious Instruction).

C. Permission of Parent or Guardian

The student has been excused by his/her parent or guardian before the absence for any or no reason. A student may not be excused for more than ten (10) days per school year under this paragraph and must complete any course work missed during the absence. Examples of reasons for being absent that should be counted under this paragraph include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. professional and other necessary appointments (e.g., medical, dental, and legal) that cannot be scheduled outside of the school day

2. to attend the funeral of a relative

3. legal proceedings that require the student's presence

4. college visits

5. vacations

D. Religious Holiday

For observance of a religious holiday consistent with the student's creed or belief.

E. Suspension or Expulsion

The student has been suspended or expelled.

F. Program or Curriculum Modification

The Board has excused the student from regular school attendance to participate in a program or curriculum modification leading to high school graduation or a high school equivalency diploma as provided by State law.

G. High School Equivalency – Secured Facilities

The Board has excused a student from regular school attendance to participate in a program leading to a high school equivalency diploma in a secured correctional facility, a secured child caring institution, a secure detention facility, or a juvenile portion of a county jail, and the student and his/her parent or guardian agree that the student will continue to participate in such a program.

H. Child at Risk

The student is a "child at risk" as defined under State law and is participating in a program at a technical college on either a part-time or full-time basis leading to high school graduation, as provided under State law.

A student may be excused from school, as determined by the School Attendance Officer, or his/her designee, for the following reasons:

A. Quarantine

Quarantine of the student's home by a public health officer.

B. Illness of an Immediate Family Member

The illness of an immediate family member.

C. Emergency

An emergency that requires the student to be absent because of familial responsibilities or other appropriate reasons.

Unexcused Absences

Unexcused absences demonstrate a deliberate disregard for the educational program and are considered a serious matter. The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines to address unexcused absences.

The Board authorizes, but does not encourage the Superintendent, to suspend a student from a particular class or from school if sincere efforts by the staff and parents or guardians cannot rectify the pattern of absence. In keeping with its philosophy, the Board supports efforts to provide for out-of-school alternative educational opportunities for truant students rather than to heighten the effects of absence through suspension.

Late Arrival and Early Dismissal

It is necessary that a student be in attendance throughout the school day in order to benefit fully from the educational program of the District.

The Board recognizes, however, that from time-to-time compelling circumstances require that a student be late to school or dismissed before the end of the school day.

As agent responsible for the education of the children of this District, the Board shall require that the school be notified in advance of such absences by written (including e-mail) or personal (phone or face-to-face) request of the student's parent or guardian, who shall state the reason for the tardiness or early dismissal. Justifiable reasons shall be determined by the principal.

If one parent or guardian has been awarded custody of the student by the courts, the parent or guardian of custody shall provide the school with a copy of the custody order and inform the school in writing of any limitations in the rights of the noncustodial parent or guardian. Absent such notice, the school will presume that the student may be released into the care of either parent or guardian.

No student who has a medical disability which may be incapacitating may be released without a person to accompany him/her.

No student shall be released to anyone who is not authorized such custody by the parents or guardians.

Truancy Plan

The Board will issue a Truancy Plan based upon the recommendations of the County Truancy Committee convened under State law, the Board's policies and procedures, and applicable provisions of State law. The Board will review and, if appropriate, revise the Truancy Plan at least once every two (2) years.

The Truancy Plan will include, at a minimum, the following:

A. procedures to be followed for notifying the parents or guardians of the unexcused absences of a student who is truant or a habitual truant and for meeting and conferring with such parents or guardians

B. plans and procedures for identifying truant children of all ages and returning them to school, including the identity of school personnel to whom a truant child shall be returned

C. methods to increase and maintain public awareness of and involvement in responding to truancy within the school district

D. a provision addressing the immediate response to be made by school personnel when a truant child is returned to school

E. the types of truancy cases to be referred to the District Attorney and the time periods within which the District Attorney will respond to and take action on the referrals

F. plans and procedures to coordinate the responses to the problems of habitual truants, as defined under Sec. 118.16(1)(a), Wis. Stats., with public and private social services agencies

G. methods to involve the truant child's parent or guardian in dealing with and solving the child's truancy problem

A student will be considered truant if s/he is absent part or all of one (1) or more days from school, including tardiness, during which the School Attendance Officer, principal, or a teacher has not been notified of the legal cause of such absence by the parent or guardian of the absent student. A student who is absent intermittently for the purpose of defeating the intent of the Wisconsin Compulsory Attendance Statute Sec. 118.15, Wis. Stats., will also be considered truant.

A student will be considered a habitual truant if s/he is absent from school without an acceptable excuse for part or all of five (5) or more days, including tardiness, on which school is held during a school semester.

Habitual Truancy and students attending under open enrollment

Notice of Truancy

The School Attendance Officer shall notify a truant student's parent or guardian of the student's truancy and direct the parent or guardian to return the student to school no later than the next day on which school is in session or to provide an excuse for the absence. The notice under this paragraph shall be given before the end of the second school day after receiving a report of an unexcused absence. The notice may be made by electronic communication, personal contact, telephone call, or 1st class mail, and a written record of this notice shall be kept. The School Attendance Officer shall attempt to give notice by personal contact, telephone call, or, unless the parent has refused to receive electronic communication, notice by 1st class mail may be given. This notice must be given every time a student is truant until the student becomes a habitual truant.

Notice of Habitual Truancy

When a student initially becomes a habitual truant, the School Attendance Officer shall provide a notice to the student's parent or guardian by 1st class mail. The School Attendance Officer may simultaneously notify the parent of the habitually truant student by an electronic communication. The notice must contain the following:

A. a statement of the parent's or guardian's responsibility under State law to cause the student to attend school regularly

B. a statement that the parent, guardian, or student may request program or curriculum modifications for the student under State law and that the student may be eligible for enrollment in a program for children at risk

C. a request that the parent or guardian meet with the appropriate school personnel to discuss the student's truancy

The notice shall include the name of the school personnel with whom the parent or guardian should meet, a date, time, and place for the meeting and the name, address, and telephone number of a person to contact to arrange a different date, time, or place. The date for the meeting shall be within five (5) school days after the date that the notice is sent, except that with the consent of the student's parent or guardian the date for the meeting may be extended for an additional five (5) school days.

D. a statement of the penalties, under State law or local ordinances that may be imposed on the parent or guardian if s/he fails to cause the child to attend school regularly as required by State law

The School Attendance Officer will also continue to notify the parent or guardian of a habitual truant's subsequent unexcused absences.

Referral to the District Attorney

Truancy cases will be referred to the District Attorney as provided in the County Truancy Committee Plan. The School Attendance Officer will ensure that appropriate school personnel have done the following before any case is referred to the District Attorney:

A. met with the student's parent or guardian to discuss the student's truancy or attempted to meet with the student's parent or guardian and received no response or were refused

B. provided an opportunity for educational counseling to the student to determine whether a change in the student's curriculum would resolve the student's truancy and have curriculum modifications under State law

C. evaluated the student to determine whether learning problems may be a cause of the student's truancy and, if so, have taken steps to overcome the learning problems, except that the student need not be evaluated if tests administered to the student within the previous year indicate that the student is performing at his/her grade level

D. conducted an evaluation to determine whether social problems may be a cause of the student's truancy and, if so, have taken appropriate action or made appropriate referrals

Note that paragraph A. is not required if the meeting between school personnel, the student, and the student's parent or guardian, which was requested in the Notice of Habitual Truancy to the parent or guardian, did not occur within ten (10) school days after the Notice was sent. Paragraphs B., C., and D. are not required if appropriate school personnel were unable to carry out the activity due to the student's absences from school.

Make-up Course Work and Examinations

Excused Absences

A student whose absence from school was excused, except for an expelled student, shall be permitted to make-up course work and any quarterly, semester, or grading period examinations missed during the absences when they return to school. It is the student's responsibility to contact his/her teachers to determine what course work and examinations must be made-up. Teachers shall have the discretion to assign substitute course work and examinations. Teachers shall also have the discretion to specify where and when examinations and course work shall be completed, including outside regular school hours. The time for completing the work shall be commensurate with the length of the absence, unless extended by the principal based upon extenuating circumstances.

Unexcused Absences

Credit in a course or subject shall not be denied solely because of a student's unexcused absences from school.

Students with unexcused absences shall be permitted to make-up course work and any quarterly, semester, or grading period examinations missed during the absence if the student is at risk of receiving no credit in a course or subject if the work is not made up.

Subject to the immediately preceding two (2) paragraphs, credit may, but is not required to be given for the completion of make-up work. Further, credit for make-up work may be given only after the student has satisfied consequences imposed for unexcused absences. The extent to which make-up credit is given shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the principal and the respective teachers.

If make-up work has been assigned, it is the student's responsibility to contact his/her teachers to determine what course work and examinations must be made-up. Teachers shall have the discretion to assign substitute course work and examinations. Teachers shall also have the discretion to specify where and when examinations and course work shall be completed, including outside regular school hours. The time for completing the work shall be commensurate with the length of the absence, unless extended by the principal based upon extenuating circumstances.

Superintendent Guidelines

The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines concerning the attendance of students which:

A. ensure a school session which is in conformity with the requirement of the law;

B. ensure that students absent for an excusable reason have an opportunity to make-up work they missed;

C. govern the keeping of attendance records in accordance with State law;

D. facilitate implementation of the Truancy Plan;

E. identify the habitual truant, investigate the cause(s) of his/her behavior, and consider modification of his/her educational program to meet particular needs and interests;

Stats.;

G. provide that a student's grade in any course is based on his/her performance in the instructional setting and is not reduced for reasons of conduct. If a student violates the attendance or other rules of the school, s/he should be disciplined appropriately for the misconduct, but his/her grades should be based upon what the student can demonstrate s/he has learned;

H. ensure that all parents and students are informed of the District's Attendance Policy and related guidelines;

I. enable the School Attendance Officer to perform his/her duties under State law and this policy; and

J. address unexcused absences.

Ashwaubenon School Board

Meeting Date: May 13, 2020 Issue: Staffing – lay-offs Requested By: Keith Lucius Attachments: Financial and/or These lay-offs are part of our budget balancing process Staffing Implications: Funding Source: General Fund budget Explanation: As we work on the 2020-21 budget there is a need to make budget reductions in order to have a balanced budget. This is an unusual year where enrollment trends combined with our class size formulas are causing staff increases at the elementary level and reductions at the high school level. We have worked as an administrative team to move staff members between buildings to avoid lay-offs. In the end we have some partial lay-offs. It is possible to recall a teacher at any time, so when we know more about our student counts or receive any staff resignations we can recall some of these teachers.

By State Statute, the School Board is required to approve a preliminary notice of non-renewal by April 30th for any staff member who will not be offered a contract for the upcoming year. This includes non-renewal for lay-off purposes and non-renewal for performance reasons. (All of our recommended non-renewals included in this agenda item are for the purpose of lay-off.) The Board must then also approve a final non-renewal by May 15th to complete the process.

Here are the recommended staff members for non-renewal for lay- off purposes  Kelly Lefevre – part-time English teacher at AHS will be laid off from 0.17 of her 0.50 FTE position leaving her with a 0.33 FTE (this has changed from last month because we have given Kelly 0.33 FTE of the position Crystal Sandman had. Crystal has taken on the Lit Coordinator role for AHS and Parkview that was available due to the resignation of Andrea Reichenberger)  Jason Fisch – Physical Education teacher at the High School and Parkview will be laid from 0.20 FTE of his high school PE position. His currently a 1.05 FTE so he will maintain his 0.80 FTE position at Parkview.  Sarah Curiel Meli – Spanish teacher at Parkview will be laid off from 0.30 FTE of her position. She is currently a 0.80 FTE so she will maintain a 0.5 FTE position

Recommendation: We recommend the Board approve the non-renewals for the purpose of lay-off as listed.

Ashwaubenon School Board

Meeting Date: 5/13/20 Issue: Gym Floor Replacement HS, PV and Pioneer Requested By: Tom Schmitt Attachments: None Financial and/or $338,190 Staffing Implications: Funding Source: Referendum Funds Explanation: The replacement of the gym floors at the HS, PV and Pioneer schools were approved with the successful referendum. $450,000 was approved to spend on the three projects.

Stalker flooring (with the ability to cancel) proactively placed an order with the flooring mill so that the necessary materials for the gym floors could be placed in their production schedule. In doing this the materials could be made available should the referendum pass and Stalker Sports Flooring be approved to complete the work.

The unfortunate school closure has provided an opportunity which would allow the gym floors to be replaced during a time of no activity and make them available for student use when school activities resume.

Stalker Sports Floors have agreed to modify their schedule of projects to start on the gym floors in early May and have all three of the gym floors completed by August 1st. Stalker Sports floors has provided proposals for each gym and including the fitness area at PV which is contiguous with the gym floor. The total of the four proposals equals $338,190.

Stalker Sports Floors provides a 5 year warranty on their installations which indefinitely extends one year for each year they provide the gym floor recoat service. Recommendation: I recommend approving the proposals from Stalker Sports Floors to replace the gym floors at the HS, PV and Pioneer schools for a total of $338,190 to start immediately and be completed by August 1, 2020.

Attachments: None

Financial and/or Less than $200,000 Staffing Implications: Funding Source: Referendum Funds

Explanation: Within the referendum $200,000 has been approved to spend on replacing windows and doors at Parkview Middle School. Three requests for proposals were solicited and two proposals were received for the purchase and installation of new aluminum doors and windows at Parkview Middle School. All of the windows on the second floor and all of the aluminum entrance doors will be replaced to improve energy efficiency and safety.

A proposal for the removal and disposal of the windows and doors was received from Ashwaubenon based Asbestos Removal Inc. for the removal of the asbestos calking and window/door frames.

By replacing the doors and windows during this unfortunate school closure the project can be completed with no disruption to classrooms or school activities. The project will be completed by the start of the new school year.

The District must have a preliminary budget approved in order to operate in 2020-21 until final budget approval. Funding Source: All funding sources are included in the budget.

The recent economic downturn will most likely force the State to look at the budget and there is a good chance that the State will make changes. We have used the current State budget to build our preliminary budget. This required some budget cutting in order to maintain our current class size targets at all grade levels.

The budget is built starting by projecting student enrollment. The different student counts are used to calculate our revenue limit, equalization aid, open enrollment aid, and set staffing levels. The application period for open enrollment was extended, but we have updated our estimates based on current applications. It is important to remember that parents are not bound by their open enrollment application, so we estimate that 50-60% of new students that applied will actually attend school in Ashwaubenon.

Total Fund 10 revenue is estimated to increase 4.25% for the 2020- 21 school year. A large portion of the increase is related to the $730,000 increase related to the operational referendum. Without the referendum, total revenue would be up 2.1%. Total tax levy is projected increase slightly even with the referendum impact (less than the increase communicated during the referendum). There is concern that Equalization Aid may be reduced if the State makes changes to school funding, this would increase our levy unless the State also reduces our Revenue Limit.

The following factors are included in the Budget:  Wage base increases of 2% for all district staff  Health and dental insurance increase of 7%  0.59 FTE decrease in teacher staffing (this will maintain current class size targets)  State Budget increase of $179 per resident student FTE increase in the revenue limit  State budget including an increase in State reimbursement for special education salary and benefits from 25% to 30%  Resident student FTE decrease of 11 students  Open Enrollment student FTE increase of 20

There are still many variables that will impact our 2020-21 budget with the biggest being the State Budget and actual student counts. A Fund 10 budget summary is attached.

In addition to the enrollment driven staffing reduction, the administrative team is recommending several budget cuts that were used to present a balanced budget. Here is a list of the budget cuts (totaling $201,050) included in the budget:  Renegotiated Building Cleaning contract  Eliminate mid-year lane advancement for teachers  Combine bussing for Parkview and AHS  Reduce the stipend for participation in the Health Risk Assessment  Reduce building maintenance budget for repairs  Eliminate Energy Specialist position

Recommendation: We recommend that the Board approve the preliminary budget.

Action Item: 7

Ashwaubenon School Board

Meeting Date: May 13, 2020

Issue: Sale of Bond Anticipation Notes

Requested By: Kurt Weyers

Attachments:

Financial and/or Staffing Implications: Funding Source: The BANS will allow the District to start the capital referendum projects. They will be paid by General Obligation (long-term) Bonds and tax levy

Explanation: The first step in financing the capital referendum projects is the issuance of BANs (Bond Anticipation Notes). This will allow the district to get started on the projects while preparing to issue the long-term General Obligation Notes. The BANs are callable and have a 2 year maturity which will give us time to set-up the long- term financing. Kevin Mullen from Robert Baird will be available to explain and answer questions about the BANs and GO Notes.

We are pleased that we were able to lock in rates below our estimates on this short-term borrowing. The rate is 1.93% for this borrowing, estimate used for planning was 2.25%. This will allow us to structure and time our long-term financing to help us achieve rates that are advantageous for the District.

Recommendation: We recommend the Board approve the Bond Anticipation Notes as presented.

WHEREAS, the District was duly organized and is validly existing and operating under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the School Board of the District that:

Section 1. Covenant to Issue the Securities. The District has heretofore authorized the issuance of the Securities pursuant to the Initial Resolution and the Referendum. The District hereby declares its intention and covenants to issue a portion of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 67, Wisconsin Statutes, in an amount sufficient to retire any outstanding Notes issued for the purpose of paying a portion of the cost of the Project.

Section 2. Authorization and Sale of the Notes. In anticipation of the sale of a portion of the Securities, for the purpose of paying a portion of the cost of the Project, there shall be borrowed pursuant to Section 67.12(1)(b), Wisconsin Statutes, the principal sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) from the Purchaser in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Proposal. The Proposal is hereby accepted and the District President and District Clerk or other appropriate officers of the District are authorized and directed to execute an acceptance of the Proposal on behalf of the District. To evidence the obligation of the District, the District President and District Clerk are hereby authorized, empowered and directed to make, execute, issue and sell to the Purchaser for, on behalf of and in the name of the District, the Notes aggregating the principal amount of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) for the sum set forth on the Proposal, plus accrued interest to the date of delivery.

Section 3. Terms of the Notes. The Notes shall be designated a "Bond Anticipation Note"; shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000; shall be dated June 1, 2020; shall be in the denomination of $100,000 or more; shall be numbered R-1; and shall bear interest at the rate per annum and mature on June 1, 2022 as set forth on the debt service schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference. Interest shall be payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing on June 1, 2021. Interest shall be computed upon the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be rounded pursuant to the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

Section 4. Redemption Provisions. The Notes are subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the District, on September 1, 2020 or on any date thereafter. Said

-2- QB\62891030.2

Notes are redeemable as a whole or in part, and if in part by lot, at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. Before the redemption of the Notes, unless waived by the registered owner, the District shall give notice of such redemption by registered or certified mail at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Purchaser or registered owner of each Note to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the address shown on the registration books.

Section 5. Form of the Notes. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be executed and delivered in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 6. Security. The Notes shall in no event be a general obligation of the District and do not constitute an indebtedness of the District nor a charge against its general credit or taxing power. No lien is created upon the Project or any other property of the District as a result of the issuance of the Notes. The Notes shall be payable only from (a) any proceeds of the Notes set aside for payment of interest on the Notes as it becomes due and (b) proceeds to be derived from the issuance and sale of a portion of the Securities, which proceeds are hereby declared to constitute a special trust fund, hereby created and established, to be held by the District Clerk or District Treasurer and expended solely for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes until paid. The District hereby agrees that, in the event such monies are not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, if necessary, the District will pay such deficiency out of its annual general tax levy or other available funds of the District; provided, however, that such payment shall be subject to annual budgetary appropriations therefor and any applicable levy limits; and provided further, that neither this Resolution nor any such payment shall be construed as constituting an obligation of the District to make any such appropriation or any further payments.

Section 7. Segregated Debt Service Fund Account.

(A) Creation and Deposits. There be and there hereby is established in the treasury of the District, if one has not already been created, a debt service fund, separate and distinct from every other fund, which shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Debt service or sinking funds established for obligations previously issued by the District may be considered as separate and distinct accounts within the debt service fund.

Within the debt service fund, there hereby is established a separate and distinct account designated as the "Debt Service Fund Account for Bond Anticipation Note, dated June 1, 2020" (the "Debt Service Fund Account") and such account shall be maintained until the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is fully paid or otherwise extinguished. The District Treasurer shall deposit into the Debt Service Fund Account (i) all accrued interest received by the District at the time of delivery of and payment for the Notes; (ii) any proceeds of the Notes representing capitalized interest on the Notes or other funds appropriated by the District for payment of interest on the Notes, as needed to pay the interest on the Notes when due; (iii) proceeds of a portion of the Securities (or other obligations of the District issued to pay principal of or interest on the Notes); (iv) such other sums as may be necessary at any time to pay principal of and interest on the Notes when due and which are appropriated by the School Board for that purpose;

-3- QB\62891030.2

(v) surplus monies in the Borrowed Money Fund as specified below; and (vi) such further deposits as may be required by Section 67.11, Wisconsin Statutes.

(B) Use and Investment. No money shall be withdrawn from the Debt Service Fund Account and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes until all such principal and interest has been paid in full and the Notes canceled; provided that such monies may be invested in permitted municipal investments under the pertinent provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes ("Permitted Investments"), which investments shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service Fund Account. Said account shall be used for the sole purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Notes and shall be maintained for such purpose until the Notes are fully paid or otherwise extinguished, and shall at all times be invested in a manner that conforms with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and any applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations").

(C) Remaining Monies. When all of the Notes have been paid in full and canceled, and all Permitted Investments disposed of, any money remaining in the Debt Service Fund Account shall be transferred and deposited in the general fund of the District, unless the School Board directs otherwise.

Section 8. Covenants of the District. The District hereby covenants with the owners of the Notes as follows:

(A) It shall issue and sell a portion of the Securities as soon as practicable, as necessary to provide for payment of the Notes;

(B) It shall segregate the proceeds derived from the sale of a portion of the Securities into the special trust fund herein created and established and shall permit such special trust fund to be used for no purpose other than the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes until paid. After the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes in full, said trust fund may be used for such other purposes as the School Board may direct in accordance with law; and,

(C) It shall maintain a debt limit capacity such that its combined outstanding principal amount of general obligation bonds or notes or certificates of indebtedness and the $10,000,000 authorized for the issuance of a portion of the Securities to provide for the payment of the Notes shall at no time exceed its constitutional debt limit.

Section 9. Proceeds of the Notes; Segregated Borrowed Money Fund. The proceeds of the Notes (the "Note Proceeds") (other than any premium and accrued interest which must be paid at the time of the delivery of the Notes into the Debt Service Fund Account created above) shall be deposited into a special fund (the "Borrowed Money Fund") separate and distinct from all other funds of the District and disbursed solely for the purpose or purposes for which borrowed. Monies in the Borrowed Money Fund may be temporarily invested in Permitted Investments. Any monies, including any income from Permitted Investments, remaining in the Borrowed Money Fund after the purpose or purposes for which the Notes have been issued have been accomplished, and, at any time, any monies as are not needed and which obviously

-4- QB\62891030.2

thereafter cannot be needed for such purpose(s) shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund Account.

Section 10. No Arbitrage. All investments made pursuant to this Resolution shall be Permitted Investments, but no such investment shall be made in such a manner as would cause the Notes to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or the Regulations and an officer of the District, charged with the responsibility for issuing the Notes, shall certify as to facts, estimates, circumstances and reasonable expectations in existence on the date of delivery of the Notes to the Purchaser which will permit the conclusion that the Notes are not "arbitrage bonds," within the meaning of the Code or Regulations.

Section 11. Compliance with Federal Tax Laws. (a) The District represents and covenants that the projects financed by the Notes and the ownership, management and use of the projects will not cause the Notes to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. The District further covenants that it shall comply with the provisions of the Code to the extent necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Notes including, if applicable, the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The District further covenants that it will not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the Notes) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Notes to be an arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the Code or would otherwise cause interest on the Notes to be included in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes. The District Clerk or other officer of the District charged with the responsibility of issuing the Notes shall provide an appropriate certificate of the District certifying that the District can and covenanting that it will comply with the provisions of the Code and Regulations.

(b) The District also covenants to use its best efforts to meet the requirements and restrictions of any different or additional federal legislation which may be made applicable to the Notes provided that in meeting such requirements the District will do so only to the extent consistent with the proceedings authorizing the Notes and the laws of the State of Wisconsin and to the extent that there is a reasonable period of time in which to comply.

Section 12. Designation as Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Notes are hereby designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265 of the Code, relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations.

Section 13. Execution of the Notes; Closing; Professional Services. The Notes shall be issued in printed form, executed on behalf of the District by the manual or facsimile signatures of the District President and District Clerk, authenticated, if required, by the Fiscal Agent (defined below), sealed with its official or corporate seal, if any, or a facsimile thereof, and delivered to the Purchaser upon payment to the District of the purchase price thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of delivery (the "Closing"). The facsimile signature of either of the officers executing the Notes may be imprinted on the Notes in lieu of the manual signature of the officer but, unless the District has contracted with a fiscal agent to authenticate the Notes, at least one of the signatures appearing on each Note shall be a manual signature. In the event that either of the

-5- QB\62891030.2

officers whose signatures appear on the Notes shall cease to be such officers before the Closing, such signatures shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes to the same extent as if they had remained in office until the Closing. The aforesaid officers are hereby authorized and directed to do all acts and execute and deliver the Notes and all such documents, certificates and acknowledgements as may be necessary and convenient to effectuate the Closing. The District hereby authorizes the officers and agents of the District to enter into, on its behalf, agreements and contracts in conjunction with the Notes, including but not limited to agreements and contracts for legal, trust, fiscal agency, disclosure and continuing disclosure, and rebate calculation services. Any such contract heretofore entered into in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes is hereby ratified and approved in all respects.

Section 14. Payment of the Notes; Fiscal Agent. The principal of and interest on the Notes shall be paid by Zions Bancorporation, National Association, Chicago, Illinois, which is hereby appointed as the District's registrar and fiscal agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 67.10(2), Wisconsin Statutes (the "Fiscal Agent"). The District hereby authorizes the District President and District Clerk or other appropriate officers of the District to enter into a Fiscal Agency Agreement between the District and the Fiscal Agent. Such contract may provide, among other things, for the performance by the Fiscal Agent of the functions listed in Wis. Stats. Sec. 67.10(2)(a) to (j), where applicable, with respect to the Notes.

Section 15. Persons Treated as Owners; Transfer of Notes. The District shall cause books for the registration and for the transfer of the Notes to be kept by the Fiscal Agent. The person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and payment of either principal or interest on any Note shall be made only to the registered owner thereof. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

Any Note may be transferred by the registered owner thereof by surrender of the Note at the office of the Fiscal Agent, duly endorsed for the transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such transfer, the District President and District Clerk shall execute and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note or Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, series and maturity and the Fiscal Agent shall record the name of each transferee in the registration book. No registration shall be made to bearer. The Fiscal Agent shall cancel any Note surrendered for transfer.

The District shall cooperate in any such transfer, and the District President and District Clerk are authorized to execute any new Note or Notes necessary to effect any such transfer.

Section 16. Record Date. The 15th day of the calendar month next preceding each interest payment date shall be the record date for the Notes (the "Record Date"). Payment of interest on the Notes on any interest payment date shall be made to the registered owners of the Notes as they appear on the registration book of the District at the close of business on the Record Date.

-6- QB\62891030.2

Section 17. Continuing Disclosure. The continuing disclosure requirements of SEC Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule") are not applicable to the Notes because the Purchaser will covenant that it will hold and not make a primary offering of the Notes, or otherwise will establish an exception to the Rule relating to the Notes.

Section 18. Record Book. The District Clerk shall provide and keep the transcript of proceedings as a separate record book (the "Record Book") and shall record a full and correct statement of every step or proceeding had or taken in the course of authorizing and issuing the Notes in the Record Book.

Section 19. Conflicting Resolutions; Severability; Effective Date. All prior resolutions, rules or other actions of the School Board or any parts thereof in conflict with the provisions hereof shall be, and the same are, hereby rescinded insofar as the same may so conflict. In the event that any one or more provisions hereof shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions hereof. The foregoing shall take effect immediately upon adoption and approval in the manner provided by law.

Dated Date/Closing Date: Monday, June 1, 2020.

None of the District, the Placement Agent (defined herein), the Purchaser (defined herein) or their agents or counsel assume responsibility for the accuracy of such numbers.

Interest Due (Fixed): 1.93% Interest shall be payable commencing on June 1, 2021 and semi-annually thereafter on December 1 and June 1 of each year. Interest on the Note will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and 360-day year.

Purchase Price: Par.

Redemption Provision: The Note is subject to call and prior redemption, at the option of the District, on September 1, 2020 or any date thereafter, in whole or in part, and if in part, by lot, at a price of par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption upon 30 days prior written notice to the Purchaser. Security: The Note is being issued pursuant to Section 67.12(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes. The Note shall in no event be a general obligation of the District, and does not constitute an indebtedness of the District, nor a charge against its general credit or taxing power. The Note is payable only from (a) any proceeds of the Note set aside for payment of interest on the Note as it becomes due; and (b) proceeds to be derived from the issuance and sale of a portion of the general obligation bonds or promissory notes (collectively, the “Securities”) which the District has authorized and has covenanted to issue and which proceeds constitute a special trust fund to be held and expended solely for the payment of principal of and interest on the Note.

The spread of COVID-19 has significantly impacted investment markets, which may impact the District's ability to successfully issue such general obligation bonds or promissory notes to pay the Note (see "GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY RISK" herein). If the District is unable to access the debt market when the principal on the Note comes due, the debt service on the Note would have to be paid from amounts available within the revenue limits and the District likely would not have sufficient amounts available for such purposes (see "REVENUE LIMITS ON WISCONSIN SCHOOL DISTRICTS" herein).

Prepared by Robert W. Baird & Co. Purpose: The proceeds from the sale of the Note will be used to provide interim financing for the public purpose of paying a $10,000,000 portion of the cost of a District-wide school improvement program consisting of: safety and security improvements; adding air conditioning to certain District facilities; facility and building infrastructure updates and site improvements; and acquisition of furnishings, fixtures and equipment (the “Project”). Tax Status: Under existing law, interest on the Note is excludable from gross income and is not an item of tax preference for federal income tax purposes. Interest on the Note is not exempt from present Wisconsin income or franchise taxes.

Bank Qualification: The Note shall be designated as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation.”

Authorization: By way of a resolution adopted on December 11, 2019 (the “Initial Resolution”), the School Board (the “Board”) authorized the issuance of general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $10,050,000 for the public purpose of paying the costs of the Project.

By way of a resolution also adopted on December 11, 2019, the Board provided for a referendum election to be held on April 7, 2020. The District gave notice to the electors relating to the bond referendum at which time the electors would vote to approve or reject the Initial Resolution.

On April 7, 2020, a referendum (the “Referendum”) was held in the District on the proposition of whether the Initial Resolution should be approved at which 2,824 votes were cast “Yes” for approval of the Initial Resolution and 1,501 votes were cast “No” for rejection of the Initial Resolution.

The Note is being issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 67.12(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes, the Initial Resolution, the Referendum and the resolution to be adopted on May 13, 2020 (the “Award Resolution” and together with the Initial Resolution, the “Resolutions”). The Note is issued in anticipation of the issuance and sale of a portion of the Securities which were authorized by the Initial Resolution and approved by the electors of the District at the Referendum. Copies of the Resolutions are available upon request.

The District anticipates issuing the remaining $50,000 referendum approved amount as a taxable issuance in fall 2020 to complete the Project.

Revenue Limits on The Wisconsin Statutes impose revenue limits on Wisconsin school districts, including Wisconsin School the District. The Wisconsin Statutes previously allowed for some annual per pupil Districts: increases without voter approval, but for the 2015-16 through 2018-19 school years, school districts were prohibited from increasing their revenue limit without voter approval. The current Wisconsin Statutes provide for increases of average revenues per pupil by $175 per pupil in the 2019-20 school year and $179 per pupil in the 2020- 21 school year without the need for voter approval. These provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes may change in the future.

The revenue limit is increased by funds needed for payment of debt service on general obligation debt authorized before the effective date of the revenue limit statutes (August 12, 1993) (the “Effective Date”) and debt service on obligations issued to refund such debt. Debt authorized after the Effective Date is exempt from the revenue limits if approved at a referendum, as is debt service on obligations issued to refund such debt.

The payment of debt service on the Note by the District is subject to the revenue limits. However, the Note was approved at referendum, and the District currently intends to refinance the Note with general obligation debt. Accordingly, the payment of debt service on such general obligation debt if and when issued will not be subject to the revenue limits.

If the District is unable to access the debt market when the principal on the Note comes due, the debt service on the Note would have to be paid from amounts available within the revenue limits and the remaining funds available for the District's operations may be strained.

Global Health Impact of the Spread of COVID-19 Emergency Risk: In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. COVID-19 has spread throughout the world, including to the United States, resulting in the World Health Organization proclaiming COVID-19 to be a pandemic and President Trump declaring a national emergency. In response to the spread of COVID-19, the United States government, state governments, local governments and private industries have taken measures to limit social interactions in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. On March 25, 2020, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers' "safer-at-home" order went into effect, which orders the closure of all non- essential business and operations until April 24, 2020 and has since been extended until May 26, 2020 (with certain exceptions as provided in the order). In addition, the deadline for payment of State income taxes was extended to match the federal deadline of July 15, 2020.

On April 16, 2020, President Trump outlined a "Guidelines for Opening America Again" plan that included a phased approach to re-opening economic activity and easing social distancing guidelines. On April 20, 2020, Governor Evers released his "Badger Bounce Back" plan that included a similar phased approach based on the federal guidelines. The District cannot predict the timing of meeting any criteria and moving through the phases of such plans.

The effects of the spread of COVID-19 and the government and private responses to the spread continue to rapidly evolve. COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global, national and State economy. The State’s finances may materially be adversely affected by the continued spread of COVID-19, which could affect the amount appropriated and timing of the distribution of State aid to school districts. The District cannot predict costs associated with the outbreak of COVID-19 such as operational costs to clean, sanitize and maintain its facilities, or costs to hire substitute employees, or costs to operate remotely and support students, faculty, and staff during the outbreak, or any resulting impact those costs could have on the Issuer's operations. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts the District and its financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted by the District, including the duration of the outbreak and measures taken to address the outbreak.

Section 6. Segregated Debt Service Fund Account.

Within the debt service fund, there hereby is established a separate and distinct account designated as the "Debt Service Fund Account for General Obligation Refunding Bonds - 2020" (the "Debt Service Fund Account") and such account shall be maintained until the indebtedness evidenced by the Bonds is fully paid or otherwise extinguished.

(B) Use and Investment. No money shall be withdrawn from the Debt Service Fund Account and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds until all such principal and interest has been paid in full and the Bonds canceled; provided (i) the funds to provide for each payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds prior to the scheduled receipt of taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be invested in direct obligations of the United States of America maturing in time to make such payments when they are due or in other investments permitted by law; and (ii) any funds over and above the amount of such principal and interest payments on the Bonds may be used to reduce the next succeeding tax levy, or may, at the option of the District, be invested by purchasing the Bonds as permitted by and subject to Section 67.11(2)(a), Wisconsin Statutes, or in permitted municipal investments under the pertinent provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes ("Permitted Investments"), which investments shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service Fund Account. Any investment of the Debt Service Fund Account shall at all times conform with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and any applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations").

(C) Remaining Monies. When all of the Bonds have been paid in full and canceled, and all Permitted Investments disposed of, any money remaining in the Debt Service Fund Account shall be transferred and deposited in the general fund of the District, unless the School Board directs otherwise.

Section 7. Proceeds of the Bonds; Segregated Borrowed Money Fund. The proceeds of the Bonds (the "Bond Proceeds") (other than any premium not used for the Refunding and accrued interest which must be paid at the time of the delivery of the Bonds into the Debt Service

-4- QB\62900313.2

Fund Account created above) shall be deposited into a special fund (the "Borrowed Money Fund") separate and distinct from all other funds of the District and disbursed solely for the purpose or purposes for which borrowed. Monies in the Borrowed Money Fund may be temporarily invested in Permitted Investments. Any monies, including any income from Permitted Investments, remaining in the Borrowed Money Fund after the purpose or purposes for which the Bonds have been issued have been accomplished, and, at any time, any monies as are not needed and which obviously thereafter cannot be needed for such purpose(s) shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund Account.

Section 8. No Arbitrage. All investments made pursuant to this Resolution shall be Permitted Investments, but no such investment shall be made in such a manner as would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or the Regulations and an officer of the District, charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds, shall certify as to facts, estimates, circumstances and reasonable expectations in existence on the date of delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser which will permit the conclusion that the Bonds are not "arbitrage bonds," within the meaning of the Code or Regulations.

Section 9. Compliance with Federal Tax Laws. (a) The District represents and covenants that the projects financed by the Bonds and by the Refunded Obligations and the ownership, management and use of the projects will not cause the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. The District further covenants that it shall comply with the provisions of the Code to the extent necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Bonds including, if applicable, the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The District further covenants that it will not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the Bonds) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Bonds to be an arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the Code or would otherwise cause interest on the Bonds to be included in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes. The District Clerk or other officer of the District charged with the responsibility of issuing the Bonds shall provide an appropriate certificate of the District certifying that the District can and covenanting that it will comply with the provisions of the Code and Regulations.

(b) The District also covenants to use its best efforts to meet the requirements and restrictions of any different or additional federal legislation which may be made applicable to the Bonds provided that in meeting such requirements the District will do so only to the extent consistent with the proceedings authorizing the Bonds and the laws of the State of Wisconsin and to the extent that there is a reasonable period of time in which to comply.

Section 10. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Bonds are hereby deemed designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" pursuant to the provisions of Section 265(b)(3)(D)(ii) of the Code. In support of such designation, the District Clerk or other officer of the District charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds, shall provide an appropriate certificate of the District, all as of the Closing.
