“The most important thing people did for me was to
expose me to new things.” Temple Grandin
My first semester at Wauzeka-Steuben School District has been a wonderful
opportunity. This experience has been amazing because of our brilliant students,
suppor ve colleagues, and our ac vely involved community. The following will
provide a glimpse of the available tools, the ac vi es, the future plans, and support provided to me as a new
Agriculture teacher. One day I
had a conversa on with a colleague and was sharing the joy
I felt at Wauzeka-Steuben. My
colleague stated that I must
feel like I was plopped down
in heaven. I responded with
“Yes, this is heaven.“ Although
I am in my 4th year of teaching, I
started the first three years of my career not having any curriculum or textbooks
for my students. There have been so many blessings to adjust to u lizing in the
classroom, including textbooks, lab equipment, lab materials, a koi fish tank, a
Smartboard, a year-round opera onal greenhouse and a 500 gallon fish tank.
Half-way through the semester Chromebooks were added to the educa onal
program as well.
Agriculture teachers encourage students to simultaneously use the skills
learned in Math, English, Social Studies, Science, Government, History, and even
PE. We want our children to graduate from high school and begin the adventure
of a career that ensures they have a produc ve life. Ag teachers create opportuni es for students to try out a variety of careers in different areas in the most
simplis c form. All the extra hands-on ac vi es make it seem like the class is
filled with chaos and a dirty mess to the untrained eye. In reality bigger quesons are being asked, while solu ons are being discovered. Character is built
while disguised in series of lab experiments that are very valuable, no ma er the
outcome or whether the a empts are successful.
So back to feeling joy and the list expressed accordingly. The students have
been helping me keep 100 hybrid bluegill alive and it has been really fun. We
added a Bearded Dragon lizard to the classroom named Parker or Dezi, depending
on the class period. We’ve separated overgrown aloe plants to sell in the spring.
We’ve also created larger variety pots and started smaller clippings of plants.
The students really had a blast making paper from a variety of materials - finding
out what would and wouldn’t work to write on or hold together. Winning the
lo ery in the Ag classroom meant ge ng to dissect fish, rabbits, chicken eggs,
apples, and more. The students get really excited for dissec on opportuni es
(Con nued on page 2)

TEACHING AG CONTINUED
and discovery becomes mo va onal
and upli ing. The list goes on and the
excitement runs high. In my opinion,
Ag classes cannot be compared to
the other classes in school due to the
complexity and mul -tasking nature
of ac vi es. For example, when the
fish tank got a li le too smelly, quite a
few of us le school that day smelling
a li le funky. Not a fish has died since
the tank was cleaned that day, thanks
to the dedica on and hard work of
those students. We do not leave the
Ag classroom everyday smelling like
fish but we do get messy on a weekly
basis with a variety of projects.
The biggest joy is having the opportunity to see the light of poten al
shine in a student’s eyes when a guest
speaker has visited the classroom.
Thank you to the former students, parents, grandparents, and friends who
took the me to share the real world
with the students and talk about a vast
array of careers and experiences. The
guest speakers gave students the opportunity to ask professional ques ons
and to learn what is appropriate and
expected in the workplace. The guest
speakers gave numerous examples of
how to make responsible choices as
well as the consequences for irresponsibility. The stories shared have been
retold in the hallways and a legendary
moment in me created. This is how
the joy grows outside of the classroom. The students retell what happened and the story ends up being bigger than life. Thanks again to the guest
speakers for helping make an impact
on the future through our students.
The joy list con nued with the FFA
side of the Ag classroom; we can’t have
one without the other. The FFA officers
who a ended the Na onal Conven on
in Louisville, Kentucky were outstanding in character and endurance on a
trip that never rested from ac vity. At

Wauzeka-Steuben Celebrates
Career and Technical Education Month
Students and faculty at Wauzeka-Steuben will join others across the na on during the month of February to celebrate
na onal Career and Technical Educa on (CTE) MonthTM. This year’s theme is Recognizing Classroom Innovators! CTE Month
provides CTE programs across the country an opportunity to demonstrate how
CTE educates students to be college- and career- ready and prepares them for
high-wage, high-demand career fields.
CTE encompasses 94 percent of high school students and 13 million
postsecondary students in the United States and includes high schools, career
centers, community and technical colleges, four-year universi es and more.
CTE is a major part of the solu on to myriad na onal economic and workforce
problems, such as high school dropout rates, a weakened economy, global
compe veness, and massive layoffs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Sta s cs, nearly one-third of the fastest growing occupa ons will require an
associate’s degree or a postsecondary voca onal cer ficate. At a me when
job opportunity is so cri cal, CTE programs in every community are ensuring
students are adequately equipped with the skills to successfully enter the
workforce.
For more informa on about the School District of Wauzeka-Steuben’s
Career and Technical Educa on programs, call 608-875-5311 and ask for any
of the District’s CTE teachers, but please wait un l the end of the school day as
they are very busy teaching from 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.

Students test bowling skills
High school students entertain little ones
By Bethany McCullick
Do you know what three strikes in a row in bowling are
called? The physical educa on classes of Wauzeka-Steuben
High School do.
On December 17, a group of 9-12 graders went bowling
at the Boscobel Bowl and Banquet Hall to test both their
bowling skills and scoring abili es. Accompanied by physical
educa on teacher Mrs. Jolene Mitchell, the group was
required to keep track of their scores and make sure they
were accurate as well as have fun.
In the classroom beforehand, the students learned
how to calculate bowling scores properly rather than rely
on automated scoring. All were tested before they could
a end the ac vity and keep score for themselves.
Although many ini ally had reserva ons, the majority
of the bowlers had fun and decided it wasn’t so bad to score
without technology a er all.
By Taylor Helgerson
Wauzeka-Steuben elementary students were thrilled
by the high school Forensic Club’s performances of “The
Night Before Christmas” and “Christmas Around the World”
right before the holiday break. The forensic team members
prac ced their lines and constructed props a er school
in prepara on prior to the show under the instruc on of
advisor Lois Schwert.
On December 18, the group set up their stage and
performed one session for the kindergartners through
second and fi h graders and a second session to third
and fourth grade classes. A er their performance, the
performers split into groups and read Christmas themed
books to the children.
“It was such a good me reading to all the kids and
sharing how other countries celebrate their own Christmas
tradi ons,” said senior Forensic Club member Kelsey
S ckley.
Senior Jamee McCullick throws the ball while bowling at
Boscobel Bowl and Banquet as part of a physical educa on
unit on bowling.
Forensics Club member Filippo Moratelli, a foreign exchange
student from Italy, tells a Christmas story to WauzekaSteuben elementary students.
Over twenty Wauzeka-Steuben Math Counts middle
school students were led into compe on by their advisor,
Mr. Joslyn Olson, at the 3M Math Counts compe on held

Coins for Veterans
As many of you know, the Wauzeka Legion Auxiliary is in the process of raising funds to
build the Veterans’ Memorial, which will be located in Wauzeka on highway 60 between
Larry Larson’s building (the old cheese factory), and the building site formerly known as
Zeeh’s Feed Mill. As part of our fund raising efforts, Principal Sailer has given us permission to host a fund raiser at school. We will be running a “Coins for Veterans” contest
starting Monday, February 2, 2015 and continuing through Friday, February 13, 2015.
Students may donate coins as well as paper money. Donation buckets will be placed in each
classroom for grades K-6 for students to donate their money toward the memorial. Buckets
for students 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12 will be placed in the APR daily for the students to place
money into. It will periodically be collected and kept in a safe place. The class with the most

Early Releases and
Cancelations due
to Circumstances
Beyond Our
Control
As has been past prac ce,
weather leading to transporta on
difficul es may create school to be
cancelled, start two (2) hours late
(no ECH classes), or dismissed early.
Every effort will be made to have the
announcement out by 6:30 a.m. If
there is an early dismissal of school,
a decision will almost always be made
by 12:15 p.m. and the announcement
should sent out on Skylert as well as
the local media shortly therea er. If
you have not signed up for Skylert, we
encourage you to do so by contac ng
Crystal Krachey at 875-5311 ext. 243.
Parents - Please plan ahead! If
there is an early dismissal, where is
your child going? It can be a busier
me than usual for everyone. Let your
child’s teacher/office know ahead of
me by sending a note with direc ons
as to where your child is going
(Daycare? Someone else’s home?
Being picked up at school?) so there
is no confusion at the last minute.
Children should not be calling home to
find out where they should be going on
those days. Ease the worry and keep
the flow going smoothly. Winterizing
our thinking before ice or wintry winds
blow the dri s across the road will help
us enjoy a safe and healthy Wisconsin
winter.

1.
Provide a consistent time and place to read together.
Make it a positive experience so that your child will look forward to your time together.
2.
Practice at least three to four nights a week for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
The extra practice reading aloud with school materials can help your child read more fluently,
accurately, smoothly and with expression.
3.
Listen to your child read.
This is an effective way to help your child become a better reader. The effort you take to make this
an enjoyable time also can help your child have a positive attitude about school.
4.
Talk with your child’s teacher.
Know what has been assigned for reading homework and help your child keep on task.
5.
Have your child bring home his class reader, other class books, and library
books so that you can listen to your child read the day’s assigned reading.
This can help improve your child’s reading comprehension.
6.
Wait before helping your child when he makes a mistake.
Sometimes other words in the sentence can help him figure out the unknown word.
7.
Praise your child for correcting himself and using clues to figure out words
on his own.
This will help build your child’s reading confidence.
8.
Provide help without telling them the word if they are unsuccessful at
first.
The more often you listen to your child read, the more his or her reading is likely to improve.
9.
Make time to read aloud together often.
This can help your child enjoy reading and become more confident about his or her reading. It also
improves vocabulary, accuracy, and comprehension.
10. Keep a variety of reading materials available throughout your home.
The more your child is exposed to books and reading materials, the more interested he or she will
be in learning to read.

August 10th – 21st (8:00 – 12:00)

Targeted Grade(s): Students Entering 4K
Instructor: Mrs. Thornton
Starting school can be very scary for some children. This class can offer your child reassurance of knowing where to find the bathroom,
being able to see what the lunchroom looks like, and knowing how to get from the playground to our classroom. Basically, the class is
like an orientation to preschool. It gives your child time to become acquainted with the school layout and some activities that we do in
the classroom before the school starts in September.
August 10th – 21st (8:00 – 12:00)
Course Name: Kindergarten Readiness
Targeted Grade(s): Students Entering Kindergarten
Instructor: Mrs. Folbrecht and Mrs. Oppriecht
This class is for all students entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2015. During this time reading, writing, math, and social skills
will be reinforced. We will have lots of fun painting, working on the Smartboard, using the computers and IPads and playing
with our friends. Come and meet your teacher and your room!
Please complete the information below and return to your classroom teacher by Tuesday, March 31, 2015. We strongly encourage you
to complete this form by the date. We will use the information obtained to determine summer school staffing. However, if for some
unforeseen reason you are not able to return the paperwork your child could still attend summer school. In this event, please contact
District Principal Robert Sailer at extension 214 to make arrangements.

Open Enrollment Application Process General Information
Important Dates
The public school open enrollment application period begins at midnight on Monday, February 2, 2015, and ends
Thursday, April 30, 2015 at 4:00 p.m.
How to Apply
Please try again during that time period by going to https://apps4.dpi.wi.gov/Opal2012 in order to submit your
open enrollment application. It is recommended that you submit your application as early as possible during the
application period. Late applications will not be accepted for any reason
Resident School District
This is the school district in which you will reside in the 2015-2016 school year. You must provide a resident school
district and the resident school district must be the same on all applications you submit. You must be living in this
district at the beginning of the school term and through September 18, 2015.
If you do not know the school district in which your home is located, DO NOT GUESS. Contact the municipal clerk
in your municipality to find out. Then verify by calling the resident school district.
Important Information If You Are Planning to Move
If you are planning to move, you may apply for open enrollment. You must indicate as the resident district the district
in which you will be living by September 18, 2015. You do not have to have an address in that district at this time,
but you must know what the district will be. If you do not know what district you will be living in, it is very difficult
to apply for open enrollment.
If you are planning a move to a different school district and wish your children to continue to attend the district
they currently live in and attend, it may not be necessary to apply for open enrollment at this time. Call the open
enrollment coordinator at your school district or a DPI Open Enrollment Consultant at (888) 245-2732 to discuss.
Prekindergarten, 4-Year-Old Kindergarten, and Early Childhood Education
The open enrollment law limits the ability of students to participate for prekindergarten, 4-year-old kindergarten, and
early childhood education. In order to participate in these programs:
 The student’s resident school district must offer the same type of program, and
 the student must be eligible for the program in her or his resident school district
If your resident school district does not offer prekindergarten or 4-year-old kindergarten, your application will be
denied.
Nonresident School Districts / School Districts You Are Applying To
 The “nonresident school district” is the school district you want your child to attend. Be sure you indicate
the correct nonresident school district. Many school districts have similar names. If you have any questions,
please call the nonresident school district to inquire, or call a DPI open enrollment consultant at (888) 2452732.
 If you submit applications to more than three nonresident school districts, all applications will be declared
invalid.
 As an option, you may request a specific school or program in the nonresident school district.
o Assignment to the requested school or program is not guaranteed, and your child may be assigned to
a different school than the one requested.
o You may indicate in the check box that you wish to be considered only for the school listed;
however, if you do this your application may be denied even if there is space in another school in the
district, and you will not be placed on a waiting list if the school district has one.
If you have questions about the open enrollment program, please contact a DPI open enrollment consultant at
(888) 245-2732, or send an email to [email protected].
34
Is there a cost to parents for open
enrollment?
There is no tuition cost to parents for participation in open
enrollment. Parents of open enrolled pupils may be
charged the same fees as resident pupils.
Who is responsible for transportation?
Parents are responsible for transporting their children
to and from school.
If transportation is required in the individualized education
program (IEP) for a child with a disability, it must be
provided by the nonresident district.
School districts may provide transportation to open
enrollment pupils if they wish. Usually, if transportation is
provided, parents must transport the pupil to a location in
the nonresident district.
Low-income parents may apply to the DPI for partial
reimbursement of their transportation costs.
35
Can a parent select a specific school in
the pupil’s resident school district?
The state’s open enrollment program applies only to
transfers from one school district to another school district.
It is up to each individual school board to decide whether or
not to allow transfers from one attendance area to another
attendance area in the same school district.
Can an open enrolled pupil participate in
sports and other extra-curricular
activities in the nonresident school
district?
Important open enrollment dates
February 2 – April 30, 2015 – Parents must
submit applications online or directly to the nonresident
school district.
June 5, 2015 – Nonresident school districts must
mail notices of approval or denial. If the application is
approved, the school district must notify the parents of
the specific school or program to which the pupil is
assigned. If the application is denied, parents have 30
days to file an appeal.
June 12, 2015 – Resident districts must notify
applicants if the application is denied. If the application
is denied, parents have 30 days to file an appeal.
June 26, 2015 – Parents of accepted applicants
must notify the nonresident district if the pupil will
attend the nonresident district in the 2015-16 school
year. If the parent fails to make this notification, the
nonresident district may refuse to allow the pupil to
attend the district.

You may apply for
open enrollment from February 2-April 30, 2015
What is Public School Open Enrollment?
Wisconsin’s inter-district public school open enrollment
program allows parents to apply for their children to attend
school districts other than the one in which they live.
Applications may be submitted to up to three nonresident
school districts.
that school is in session. Other important things to know
about applying to virtual charter schools:
x
A virtual charter school is not home-schooling. Pupils
attending virtual charter schools are public school
pupils.
x
You must know the nonresident school district in
which the virtual charter school is located. If you have
any questions about this, call the virtual charter
school.
Who may participate in open enrollment?
Pupils in 5-year-old kindergarten to grade 12 may apply to
participate in open enrollment.
36
Open enrollment for prekindergarten, 4-year-old
kindergarten and early childhood education is limited.
Parents should call their resident school districts to find out
if their preschool-aged children qualify for open enrollment.
Can parents appeal if an application is
denied?
x
A list of 2014-15 virtual charter schools may be found
at http://oe.dpi.wi.gov/virtual-schools.
Parents whose applications are denied may appeal to the
DPI within 30 days of the denial. State law requires the
DPI to uphold the school district’s decision unless DPI finds
that the decision was arbitrary or unreasonable. The DPI’s
decision may be appealed to circuit court.
Can an application be rejected?
Yes. Nonresident school districts may deny an application
if regular or special education space is not available for
the pupil or if the pupil has been referred for a special
education evaluation but has not yet been evaluated.
Nonresident school districts may also deny an application if
the pupil has been expelled during the current or
preceding two years for certain violent conduct or if the
pupil was habitually truant from the nonresident school
district during any semester in the current or previous
school year.
A pupil may only open enroll to an online/virtual school if:
(1) the school has been created as a virtual charter school
that meets the requirements of the charter school law [Wis.
Stats. 118.40 (8)] or (2) the pupil is required to physically
attend school in the nonresident school district every day
If you have further questions about open enrollment for
children with disabilities, contact the resident or
nonresident school district or the DPI.
You must know your resident school district in order to
apply.
The open enrollment application period for the 2015-16
school year is from February 2-April 30, 2015. The
application period closes at 4:00 p.m. on April 30, 2015.
Late applications will not be accepted for any reason.
Can I apply to a virtual charter school
under open enrollment?
A resident school district may prevent a pupil from leaving
the district if the tuition charge for the pupil’s special
education in the nonresident school district is an undue
financial burden for the resident school district.
x
How and when may parents apply?
Parents may apply in one of two ways:
x Online (recommended) at http://oe.dpi.wi.gov.
x Although online application is recommended, paper
applications may be obtained from the Department of
Public Instruction and must be delivered (handdelivery is recommended) to the nonresident school
district.
Can a resident district prevent a pupil
from leaving?
If there are more applications than spaces, pupils must be
selected randomly, after giving preference to pupils already
attending school in the nonresident school district and
siblings of currently-attending pupils.
Some school districts establish waiting lists to fill unused
spaces, but others do not.
Must pupils reapply every year?
Once a pupil is accepted into a nonresident school district,
the pupil may continue to attend that district without
reapplication except that:
x
The nonresident district may require a pupil to reapply
one time—at the beginning of middle school, junior
high or high school.
x
A pupil may be returned to the resident school district
if the special education required in a new or revised
IEP is not available in the nonresident district or there
is no space or if the cost of the special education is an
undue financial burden to the resident district.
x
A pupil who has become habitually truant in the
nonresident district may be returned to the resident
district.

POLICY CODE: 423
SCHOOL DISTRICT OF WAUZEKA-STEUBEN
OPEN ENROLLMENT PROGRAM
This policy shall be administered in accordance with the timelines and procedures set forth below and Wisconsin
State Public School Open Enrollment law.
Nonresident Students Attending School in the District
Nonresident students residing within the State of Wisconsin and who qualify may apply for open enrollment in the
School District of Wauzeka-Steuben in accordance with state law and established District procedures. The District
shall consider the following criteria when accepting or rejecting a nonresident student’s application for enrollment:
Available Space
Class Size
The Board of Education of the School District of Wauzeka-Steuben shall consider the availability of space in the
school, program and/or class when acting upon a nonresident student’s application for full-time open enrollment in
the District. If space is not available, the application may be denied. Space availability shall be determined based
on the optimum number of students that can be accommodated in each school, class, and program without
jeopardizing the quality of the instructional program or increasing District expenditures for staff or equipment.
Consideration shall be given to class size limits, SAGE requirements, student-teacher ratios, number of nonresident
students already attending school in the District, and enrollment projections established by the District
Administrator. If the number of applications for full-time open enrollment exceeds the available space, nonresident
students shall be selected for admission using a random selection process established by the District Administrator.
Preference for siblings
If space is available for open enrollment students, preference will be given to pupils and the siblings of pupils
already attending the District as required by the provisions of the Open Enrollment laws and the guidelines of this
policy. If space is not available for any pupils applying for open enrollment at a given grade level, pupils and their
siblings who are currently residents attending Wauzeka-Steuben, and are seeking to remain at Wauzeka-Steuben
under open enrollment status after moving from the District, will not be guaranteed admission for the upcoming
school year.
Waiting List
The District shall establish a waiting list of nonresident applicants whose applications have been denied due to lack
of space as described above. This waiting list may include applications submitted in a timely manner for the next
school year, but will not include applications submitted for prior school years. Procedures for establishing the
waiting list are outlined in the Administrative Procedures.
Discipline
When a student has been expelled from school by any Wisconsin school district during the current or two preceding
school years for any of the following reasons, or a disciplinary proceeding involving the student based on any of
the following reasons is pending: (a) conveying or causing to be conveyed any threat or false information concerning
an attempt or alleged attempt being made or to be made to destroy any school property by means of explosives; (b)
engaging in conduct while at school or while under supervision of a school authority that endangered the health,
safety, or property of others; (c) engaging in conduct while not at school or while not under the supervision of a
school authority that endangered the health, safety, or property of others at school or under the supervision of a
school authority or of any school district employee or school board member; or (d) possessing a dangerous weapon,
as defined by law while at school or while under the supervision of a school authority. The District Administrator
shall make the decision based on the circumstances involved.
47
POLICY CODE 423
Page 2 of 4
If any of the disciplinary actions described above occur after the student has been accepted for enrollment and prior
to the beginning of the school year in which the nonresident student first enrolls in the District, the student’s
enrollment may be denied.
Consistent with District policy and state law requirements, the District may also deny the enrollment of any student
who is currently serving an expulsion from any public school or independent charter school in Wisconsin or outof-state public school, no matter what the reason is for the expulsion, if the term of the expulsion extends into the
next school year. For students currently serving an expulsion from another public school in Wisconsin or an outof-state public school, the District may allow the student’s enrollment on a conditional basis if he/she meets the
established enrollment conditions. The enrollment conditions established shall relate to the reasons for the student’s
expulsion, if the term of the expulsion extends into the proposed period of open enrollment.
Special Education Students and Services
Students with Disabilities
Students who receive special education services in their resident district must meet the same eligibility criteria as
regular education students. An open enrollment application shall be denied if the District determines that the special
education program or related services described in the student's individualized education program (IEP) is not
available in the District or there is no space available in the appropriate special education program. If a nonresident
open enrollment student begins attending school in the District and the special education program or services
required by the student's IEP (newly identified or revised) are not available in the District or there is no space
available in the special education program identified in the IEP, the nonresident student may be returned to the
resident school district.
Students Referred for a Special Education Evaluation
An open enrollment application shall be denied if the student has been reported or identified by his/her resident
school district for a special education evaluation but has not yet been evaluated by an IEP team appointed by the
resident district. Assuming other acceptance criteria are and continue to be met, the District may reconsider a denial
under this criteria if the IEP is completed, forwarded to the District, and reviewed by the District prior to the close
of the period during which applications would normally continue to be reviewed or accepted from any waiting list.
Truancy-Related Criteria
An open enrollment application may be denied if the student has been habitually truant during any semester of
attendance at the School District of Wauzeka-Steuben in the current or previous school year. Once enrolled as an
open enrollment student, if a nonresident student is habitually truant from the District during either semester in the
current school year, the District may prohibit the student from attending school in the District under the full-time
open enrollment program beginning in the succeeding semester or school year.
“Best Interests” Determinations under the Alternative Open Enrollment Application Criteria and
Procedures
If a parent/guardian of a nonresident student applies for open enrollment under the alternative open enrollment
application criteria and procedures and relies on the “best interests of the student” criteria, the District shall review
the information and rationale provided by the parent/guardian and make a determination as to whether the District
agrees with the parent/guardian that attending school in the District pursuant to the application is in the student’s
best interest. If the District determines that attendance would not be in the student’s best interest, the application
shall be denied on that basis.
48
POLICY CODE 423
Page 3 of 4
Other Factors
A full-time open enrollment application can also be denied if the nonresident student is ineligible for open
enrollment (e.g., student does not meet the age requirements of school attendance; the resident district does not have
a four-year-old kindergarten program as is offered in the District) or the application is invalid (e.g., the application
is incomplete or deliberately falsified).
Selection
If there are more open enrollment applications for a grade level or Special Education Program than space available,
those selected for the available space will be made on a random basis. Preference will be given to those applicants
who are residents currently attending, and siblings of students already attending the School District of WauzekaSteuben under the provisions of open enrollment. After the status of applicants with preference has been determined,
if space remains available in the grade level or Special Education program, all other open enrollment applicants will
be considered and randomly selected for these remaining spaces. If applicants still exist after these spaces have been
filled, random drawing of all remaining applicants will continue to establish the waiting list.
Rights and Privileges
Once the District, under the Open Enrollment Program, has admitted a student the nonresident students attending
school and courses in the District under the open enrollment policy shall have all the rights and privileges of resident
students and are subject to the same rules and regulations as resident students.
Transportation
The parent(s)/guardian(s) of a nonresident student attending any District school or program under this policy will
be responsible for providing transportation to and from school, unless: (1) the nonresident student is a student with
a disability and transportation is required by his/her IEP; (2) the District Administrator or designee determines that
there is room available on a bus on a regular route, the student is picked up or dropped off at a regular bus stop
within the District, and the parent/guardian has requested such transportation; or (3) transportation by the District
is otherwise required by law.
Reapplication Procedures
The School District of Wauzeka-Steuben does not require reapplication for open enrollment once having applied.
Resident Students Attending School Outside the District
Any resident student may apply for full-time open enrollment in another school district in accordance with state
law. A student may apply for admittance under the full-time open enrollment program to no more than three
nonresident school districts in any school year.
The District may deny a resident student’s full-time open enrollment application if:
1. Costs of special education services required in the student's IEP would place an undue financial burden on the
District.
2. If the student has applied for open enrollment under the alternative open enrollment application criteria and
procedures authorized by law, the District may deny the student’s enrollment if the District determines that the
criteria relied on by the student to submit the application do not apply to the student.
3. If the nonresident student is ineligible for open enrollment (e.g., student does not meet the age requirements of
school attendance) or the application is invalid (e.g., the application is incomplete or deliberately falsified).
49
POLICY CODE 423
Page 4 of 4
The parent(s)/guardian(s) of resident students attending school in another school district under the full-time open
enrollment program will be responsible for student transportation, unless the District is required by law to provide
transportation to the student(s).
Appeals
A parent/guardian may appeal to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) whenever a district denies
a student’s open enrollment application or makes other decisions specified in state law affecting the student’s
eligibility to open enroll, except as otherwise specifically provided under state law or DPI rule. Such appeals must
be filed using the deadlines and other procedures established by the DPI.
Administrative Guidelines
The District Administrator shall be responsible for developing administrative procedures to implement this policy.
Annual Review
This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis prior to January 1.

INVESTMENT GUIDELINES
The Board considers an investment program to be a critical ingredient of sound fiscal management. Therefore,
funds which are not needed to meet immediate operation expenses should be invested in authorized securities or
funds to accrue maximum interest. Quotes may be obtained from financial institutions to ensure that the funds are
invested where maximum returns may be realized.
1. The investment program shall be administered in a way that will ensure:
a. A continuous process of temporarily investing all funds not immediately needed
b. That all District investments will be in compliance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations
c. The relative security of the funds and financial stability of the Public Depository (ies).
2. The funds not immediately needed may be invested in the following:
a. Time deposits in any credit union, bank, savings bank, trust company, or savings and loan association
which is authorized to transact business in Wisconsin if the time deposits mature in not more than one
year
b. Demand deposits and savings deposits in any credit union, bank, savings bank, trust company, or savings
and loan association which is authorized to transact business in Wisconsin
c. Deposits in the Wisconsin local government pooled-investment fund
d. Other deposits permitted by State Statutes with Board of Education approval.
3. The funds shall be invested so as to be judiciously guaranteed as to principal and interest by the federal
government or by a commission, board or other instrumentality of the federal government and by the State of
Wisconsin.
4. Investments will be limited in any one financial institution to the amounts insured by state and federal laws.
If the financial institution shows proof of collateral to protect the District’s investment, investments may be
made over the insured limit.
5. All interest earned from such investments shall be deposited in the respective fund.
6. The Board authorizes the District Administrator to direct all activities associated with the investment program
in such manner as to accomplish the objectives of this policy. The District Administrator shall be further
authorized to execute, in the Board’s name, any or all documents relating to the investment program in a
timely manner and to confer with reputable consultants regarding investment decisions when necessary.

STUDENT ACTIVITY FUNDS MANAGEMENT
(Fund 60)
All student activity funds shall be under the financial control of the Board of Education who has a
fiduciary responsibility to manage the funds in an appropriate manner. All student activity funds should
be used for the activities that will benefit the students/or designated purpose of the students who
invested time earning the funds. Each organization/club/group shall promptly deposit receipts in the
appropriate School District Fund 60 account in accordance with established administrative procedures –
i.e. Board Policy 374 Student Fund Raising Activities, Board Policy 672 Purchasing, and any/all other
related policies.
Each activity shall have a faculty advisor assigned to serve for at least one (1) year, who will be
responsible to the Principal/District Administrator.
Upon the election of officers, each
organization/club/group shall submit an annual listing of organization/club/group officers to the District
Office. The organization/club/group treasurer and faculty advisor will be responsible to the District
Administrator for documentation of the collection and disbursements of all activity funds.
The collection or raising of any funds by the activity organization/club/group must have the approval of
the organization/club/group and the recommendation of the faculty advisor, as well as the approval of
the Principal/District Administrator.
The interest earned on the activity accounts shall be used for fund administrative costs such as offsetting
the annual cost of the student activity accounting software and purchasing checks, receipt books, office
supplies, and other costs associated with activity account management.
Purchases must be authorized by the organization/club/group and presented in writing by the
organization/club/group student secretary or treasurer and the faculty advisor in accordance with
established administrative procedures.

organization/club/group faculty advisor and treasurer and upon the approval of the Principal/District
Administrator. The activity fund student treasurer and the faculty advisor must provide proper
documentation (vouchers, receipts, etc.) for each disbursement request according to established
administrative procedures.
No student organization/club/group shall be allowed to operate with a negative balance. Special
exceptions may be made with the approval of the District Administrator, based on a reasonable
expectation that such negative balance is a temporary condition that will be corrected by incoming
receipts. Each Fund 60 account is reconciled by both the Advisor and a Business Office employee on a
monthly basis.

school year and as directed by established administrative procedures. An audit of all activity funds shall
be made at the same time as the annual audit of school funds. The cost of the audit shall be paid by the
District.
If an account has no activity for 16 consecutive months, it may be considered inactive and may be
closed by the District Administrator. If an organization is disbanded or a special purpose account is no
longer needed, the accounts will be considered inactive. Funds from inactive accounts will be
transferred to the General Fund and dispersed by action of the Board of Education general student
activity account and/or Student Council account.
At the end of the school year, all activity fund balances will be carried over to the next school year with
the exception of the graduating class fund. The graduating class, after covering the expenses and
activities of that class shall designate before the end of the school year how any remaining balance will
be spent. Any funds, which remain in a graduating class treasury at the end of the fiscal year of
graduation, will automatically become a part of the general fund part of the Student Council account,
unless special provisions are made, and dispersed by action of the Board of Education.

SCHOOL DISTRICT OF WAUZEKA-STEUBEN
FUND BALANCE
The Board of Education of the School District of Wauzeka-Steuben recognizes the need for maintaining
an operating reserve for the following purposes:
1. Provide adequate working capital sufficient to meet the District cash-flow requirements; minimizing
any cash-flow (short term) borrowing during the annual operating cycle and avoiding excessive short
term borrowing and associated interest expense
2. Function as a safeguard for unanticipated expenses that the District might incur or to fund unrealized
revenues of the District
3. Demonstrate financial stability resulting in a higher credit rating which will help to reduce the
District’s borrowing costs.
Any net excess revenues greater than expenditures in a given fiscal year will be added to the District
Fund Balance. Each year, the projected/actual year end fund balance of the General Fund is to be
reviewed and a determination made if any amounts will be committed and/or assigned.
A variety of external forces (revenue limits, timing of aid payments, etc.) and internal forces (emergency
repairs, high energy costs, system breakdowns, etc.) may impact the District’s fiscal ideal and goal.
Financial Disclosures
Fund Balance amounts will be reported in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) and Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 54, and shall be reclassified
not less than at the end of each fiscal year. The District shall report fund balances as either Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned, or Unassigned, defined as follows:
Non-spendable – not in spendable form or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact
(examples: inventories, prepaid items, long-term receivables, principal of a permanent fund).
Restricted – amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external
source providers, or through legislation. The fund balance for the spendable portion in the debt service
funds, capital projects fund, food service fund, community service fund, and employee trust fund shall
be classified as restricted. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is
District policy to use unrestricted resources first, then to use restricted resources as they are needed.
Committed/Assigned – The fund balance for the spendable portion of the General Fund shall be
classified as either committed, assigned, or unassigned.
The Board may, from time to time, commit additional amounts of the fund balance for a specific
purpose. Such action shall be made in resolution form and require the approval of a majority of the
Board. Commitments of fund balance, once made, can only be modified or eliminated by a subsequent
resolution.
56
POLICY CODE: 662.3
Page 2 of 2
The Board of Education authorizes the District Administrator to assign fund balance to the extent that
such assignment does not create a negative unassigned fund balance. Assigned fund balance is intended
to be used by the District for specific purposes but does not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted
or committed.
Unassigned – The fund balance is the residual classification for the District’s General Fund and includes
all spendable amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification
should be used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for
which amounts have been restricted, committed, or assigned.
The District Administrator shall:
1. Plan for a budget with a targeted goal of seventeen (17%) percent of the total General Fund
expenditures reserved for Fund Balance purposes;
2. Provide a projected cash flow analysis for the upcoming fiscal year, as well as a summary of the
cash flow from the previous year with cash flow analysis reflecting short term borrowing needs of
the District;
3. Make recommendations for restoring fund balance or identifying extenuating circumstances why
restoring fund balance should not be considered each fiscal year.
All fund balance other than those that are non-spendable, restricted, or committed for another purpose
are committed for cash flow purposes.

POLICY CODE: 672
SCHOOL DISTRICT OF WAUZEKA-STEUBEN
PURCHASING
It shall be the goal of the Board of Education of the School District of Wauzeka-Steuben and the
administration to secure materials, equipment, and services for the District, seeking maximum education
value for every dollar expended. In addition to the best price, consideration shall also be given to such
factors as the quality of the product, vendor conformity to specifications, service record, delivery terms,
and general suitability to the requirements and needs of the District.
The Business Official/Bookkeeper shall serve as the purchasing agent for the District and shall work
with administrators and staff in carrying out established purchasing procedures.
Except as otherwise provided, any purchase costing $15,000 or less may be made at the discretion of the
District Administrator. Purchases costing more than $15,000 must be approved by the Board. In an
emergency situation, the District Administrator may use his/her discretion in making purchases equal to
or in excess of $15,000 and will inform the Board of such purchases.
A. Requisitions
The purpose of a requisition process is to ensure that any purchase made by District personnel gains the
prior approval of those who are charged with the management of the District’s budget. As such, all
purchases shall be made through a requisition process outlined by the Business Official/Bookkeeper
unless the purchase mandates another process to be used (such as online credit card purchases for
vendors that do not accept purchase orders, checks needed for admission to events, etc.).
B. Reimbursements
District purchases made by District staff using their personal funds shall be minimized as much as
practicable. When a staff member makes a District purchase they shall request reimbursement from the
District through a procedure prescribed by the Business Official/Bookkeeper. Such procedure shall
include the detailed documentation of the purchase such as an itemized receipt showing the item(s)
purchased. The District shall not reimburse staff for any tax paid on the purchase unless the purchase is
made from a dining establishment or outside of the state of Wisconsin where the District’s state tax
exemption does not apply.
C. Vendors & Pricing
It is expected that the District staff member making the purchase will find the best possible vendor and
item to meet the District’s need. While price may be a large consideration of what to purchase and what
vendor to use, it may not be the only consideration. Other items for the staff member to consider include
quality of the product or service, the vendor’s customer support, delivery timeline, etc. The Business
Official/Bookkeeper shall provide staff with a “Preferred Vendors List” that outlines the vendors with
which the District has negotiated discounts (provided a current list is available). This list will not
encompass all of the vendors to be used but should provide staff members with cost-effective options to
make typical office and classroom supply purchases.
58
POLICY CODE: 672
Page 2 of 2
An attempt will be made to achieve maximum price advantage within quality specifications. Efforts
shall also be made to realize savings in purchasing and maintenance through standardization of
specifications for similar items used throughout the District.
D. Major Expenditures/Bidding
Major expenditures for equipment, services, and supplies for purchases over $5,000 must be supported
by two or more quotations from reputable suppliers before orders are written. Supporting evidence must
accompany the order or be on file in the business office when the order is presented for approval.
The Business Official/Bookkeeper will cooperate with users in determining specifications for bidding or
quotation purposes. Specifications should be complete in all details and should be based on sufficient
knowledge of the use, functional value, and longevity of the product. The awarding of a bid should be
made on the basis of the specifications. Specifications should be open to the quality desired and closed
to undesirable merchandise even though it is cheaper. Specifications should never be so loose that price
becomes the only factor. Specifications will not be restrictive unless it has been decided in advance that
there is only one product which will give functional satisfaction.
The Board of Education and/or District Administrator reserves the right to accept or reject any and all
bids/quotations or parts thereof. The Board reserves the right to waive any informalities in, or reject,
any or all part of any bid. This authority is delegated to the District Administrator or his/her designee
for purchases not coming before the Board. The Board’s or Administration’s decision will be in the best
interest of the District in regards to price, quality, and service to the educational program.
E. Deviation from Foregoing Procedures
Any deviation from the foregoing procedures must be approved by the Business Official/Bookkeeper on
the merit of each request.
F. Budget Transfers to Cover Purchases
When sufficient budgeted funds are not available in an account to permit the purchase of materials,
equipment, or services that are necessary in the educational program or to the operation of the District,
then budget transfers may be requested. Budget transfers within a function will be approved by the
District Administrator. Budget transfers between functions in excess of $5,000 must be submitted to the
Board for action at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting before the purchase is made. If an
emergency situation arises, temporary approval of budget transfers can be granted by the Board
Treasurer prior to the regular Board meeting.
