April 2026 Wisconsin School News
The April issue of Wisconsin School News focuses on what it takes to be an effective school board member. Readers will explore best practices and legal considerations for managing public comment at board meetings, along with a clear overview of school board governance, individual member responsibilities and the superintendent’s role. The issue also highlights how the Adams-Friendship Area School District created a proactive system to support student safety and accessibility on field trips, examines the Hustisford School District’s efforts to keep the community informed about possible consolidation or dissolution, and introduces the new WIAA Foundation, designed to support athletic programs, reduce risk and strengthen officiating development.
