SCHOOL DISTRICT AGENDA POSTED

The actual agenda for March 16 - HERE
The notes attached to the agenda - HERE

Two interesting issues that I see on the agenda:
* Increase in Wisconsin Retirement System contribution rates - The board will review a proposal from the Wisconsin Retirement System to raise contribution rates by 42% over the next five years that amounts to approximately $2.5 million in increased contributions by the
District in the next seven years.

* Military dress at RHS graduation - There is a request by two RHS seniors for permission to wear their military dress uniform in lieu of a cap and gown for the RHS graduation. The District’s practice has been for all students to wear a cap and gown, but there is no Board policy pertaining to this topic.
