The committee reviewed the annual Achievement Gap Reduction (AGR) report. The discussion centered on the implementation of the program at Crescent and Pelican Elementary Schools, the renewal of the five-year contract with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, and the receipt of funding for the 2025-2026 school year. Additionally, the report analyzed student literacy and mathematics achievement data, the use of instructional coaching and targeted interventions, and strategies for using data to guide instructional planning.
The committee reviewed the August budget status reports, noting that the 2026-2027 budget had not yet been fully integrated into the financial system, and discussed the availability of free school meals for students. Additionally, the committee voted to recommend that the board approve the transfer of the existing school bus service contract to Schilleman Bus Service of Eagle River, Inc.
