Mauston School Districts Listens to Retirement Health Savings Considerations

The Mauston School Board received a presentation on retirement health savings considerations at its meeting on Monday night. Marty Richards of WEA Member Benefits told the board what they have done in several districts is using matching investing programs utilizing a 403(b), meaning every year an employee works in the district, they may contribute up to a certain dollar amount and the school district matches that amount. Richards said the district could even consider a the possibility of a vesting schedule, meaning if that employee stays a certain amount of years with the district then they could keep the whole amount or if they leave prior to that, the district’s share is pulled back. Richards said there could be different vesting schedules, and that the district could design the program for how it wants it to work.

During his report, High School Principal Jim Dillin reminded board that the first day of school will be for Grade 9 students only. New students to the district are invited during tours of the school. The goal of the first day for those students is support transition to Mauston High School through the Rookie Rally, a mock schedule, and introductions of all staff for all Grade 9 students. The day will conclude with an Open House for all students Grades 9 -12 from 5 -7 pm. Students and parents may check lockers, find classrooms, and meet their teachers for the new year.

The Mauston bleacher and track area is open for the public. Mauston Superintendent Christine Weymouth said in her report that they passed the tests and they are completed. She does caution the public to stay off the grass until September 15. Weymouth said the aim this year was to do two soccer games and two football games on the field. There is grand opening planned for September 15 for the new community field, at it will start at 5pm with a varsity football game starting at 7pm.
