The agenda for Tuesday's meeting agenda can be found here, the open session starts at 7pm after a closed session to discuss contract negotiations. Highlights include:
X. New Business
A. Presentation of Report by UW Applied Populations Laboratory Regarding Enrollment ProjectionsThe annual enrollment projection report has no suprises: it predicts modest growth of about 20 student/year for the next 5 years. Slow growth is predicted both in Monona and Cottage Grove elementary schools. IMHO the current economy reduces the reliability of these projections because of the effects on development in CG and turnover in Monona.
XI. Unfinished BusinessWe have received updated numbers on the cost of consolidating Maywood and Winnequah: this lastest report shows $243K in annual operational savings, offset by one time costs of up to $225-250K for upgrades for Winnequah. Upgrades include one restroom and new cabinetry and sinks in a number of rooms. Some of cost of upgrades can be offset by remaining referendum funds.
A. Discussion of Maywood & Winnequah Consolidation, Nichols, and Related Issues
Mark Scullion, Craig Gerlach (45 Min)
B. Presentation and Discussion on Athletic Field Updates – Jeff Schreiner, Mark Scullion (30 Min)If you have been following along you might know that we have some issues with the condition and availability of our Athletic facilities. One trouble spot is the track at the stadium which is falling apart and in need of replacement.

Just wondering if you could post a summary of the athletic facility and Maywood school discussion. The meeting had no visual broadcast, just audio, which was drowned out by a ton of static. I could barely hear hear one talking when the volume on the tv was over 65 out of 100 but the static noise was too disruptive to others in my house.
I was bummed out that I got neither audio or visual on public access. I was hoping to catch this one.
Yes, it would be nice to get a transcript of the discussion since no one was able to watch the meeting remotely.
If the audio wasn't working, how can there be a transcript generated. And who would pay for that? Minutes are not transcripts nor are they meant to be.
Andrew Hagan responds that the tape of the meeting appears to be OK, so you will be able stream the meeting from the mononaTV website. Andrew anticipates completing the conversion by the end of the day.
Here is the link to the school board meeting:

Could we save some money by dumping track as a 'sport' in MG? Cutting football would be even better and save more money (and kid's medula oblongatas), but we must have athletic pride over academic achievement. Right? I don't under stand why you don't cut football? They'll never beat Waunakee anyway.
P.S. My Captcha word verification was "poogra". Sounds dirty to me. What is "poogra"?
