Board members will review and approve the minutes from the March 22, 2022  Board meeting.

Board members will be taken on a brief tour of the new facility.  Work has progressed particularly on the lower level and first floor.

Findorff Construction has been working diligently toward completing work on the lower level and first floor of the school. Board members will don hard hats and take a brief tour to see the progress that has been made to date and to review plans for continuing renovations. 

Leah Lange of Numbers 4 Nonprofits has prepared One City's March 2022 financial statements. 

One City Treasurer and Finance Committee Chair, Torrey Jaeckle will present the statements during the meeting. The Board will discuss and then vote to approve the financial statements. 

Mr. Jeremy Clements has accepted our offer to serve as One City’s first Athletic Director. He will join our team on July 5, 2022. Jeremy is currently the Athletic Director and Chair of the Physical Education Department at Madison Country Day School in Waunakee, Wisconsin. He has served in this role August 2010. Jeremy earned his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and a Masters in Educational Leadership and Administration from Edgewood College of Madison. 

Mr. Clements is already engaged in an effort to build a sustainable, engaging, and competitive athletic department at One City Schools and is therefore recommending that the board approve a motion to submit an application for membership to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA). 

By becoming a member school, this will allow One City Preparatory Academy (OCPA) to compete against the other 516 senior high schools in Wisconsin, while also granting us the future ability to join a conference and compete within the WIAA tournament series.
