Kewaskum School Board November Meeting

The Kewaskum School Board held a regular meeting on Thursday, November 13, in the Kewaskum High School Library.
The board unanimously approved the high school boys’ hockey co-op with West Bend for 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. Currently, there is only one athlete participating, but there are more students that will be a part of the program next year.
The finance committee and building and grounds committee forwarded the FES flooring installation proposal to the board for approval. It is to replace the 25-year-old flooring throughout the building. The finance committee made the motion to accept the quote from Quest Interiors for $69,938. This was unanimously approved by the board.
The new well in Farmington was dug based on DNR requirements, and had high levels of barium and iron. The DNR allows the district to blend water sources to meet requirements, so by blending the two sources together the district can get healthy levels. This also allows for redundancy, whereas if they plugged up the previous well they would lose this option. The District Administrator recommended this option because it gives the district more flexible options for the future. They can always choose to just use the new well in the future if needed. The board unanimously agreed to blend the previous well with the new well. Sam’s Well drilling will be doing this project for $21,365.
The finance committee forwarded the purchase of a 2025 Ford Expedition for the district to the board for approval. They will be purchasing the vehicle from Hiller Ford. The van that will be replaced is about 10 years old and will be auctioned. The finance committee stated that the vehicle that is going to auction should have held its value for resale. The van will be auctioned off in the summer.
The next meeting is set for December 11.
