Possible new website to be discussed at next parish council meeting; Matt
will attend, to get information on this website before moving forward on
effort to update the school website

more efficiently

increase efforts towards recruiting for K3
New Business
Disappointment expressed at the parish’s lack of advertising of
Easter services in the Daily News; many other local churches did
advertise, leading to concern the parish may be perceived as less
welcoming compared to these other churches, which may, in turn, negatively
affect school recruitment efforts.

subject to a
Pro Forma.
-
Architects are coming to work on the room soon and a supplies list
is being formed.

2010-11
Budget: continued conversations:
-
The
$665,000 subsidy number that the committee based the budget upon was
revised downward. At Parish Council, a subsidy of $640,000 was floated.
Later a number of $598,000 was given to Mike Sternig.
-
After
more than hour of discussion the committee floated the idea of a budget
with a $625,000 subsidy. This would allow the one 2nd grade
class to be helped for Math, Reading and Language. It would require a 52%
FTE teacher in addition to the full-time teacher.
This would result in a 6.6% increase in tuition. The measure passed
on a 6-0 vote after a motion by Dave Tennies and a 2nd by Greg
Rinn.
-
The
committee felt this was the best we could do in meeting the needs of
students and without hampering the marketing efforts the development
committee is working on to increase enrollment.

2010 at 7:00PM. The letter inviting registration was previewed by the

Holy
Angels School Committee Budget Meeting:
February 10th, 2010
Call
to Order / Prayer:
Vice-Chair Nancy Monday opened the meeting in prayer.
Members
Present: Nancy Monday, Greg Zimmer, Tony Spaeth, David Tennies, Mike
Melaney (Parish Council Liaison), Pat Gruenke, Greg Rinn, Sara Riesberg.
Absent:
Father Jerry
Guests
: Pat Bollen, Mrs. Mathews, Mrs. Sadonikow,
Mrs. Tranel, Mrs. Bishop (thank you for attending).
Old
Business:
Mike Melaney brought news from some members of the Holy Angels
Parish Council that if enrollment unexpectedly went down again this spring
that the Archdiocese would make changes to the school. Concern was
expressed by some on the council that the 43% of the people who did not
send in a parent survey could potentially be dissatisfied and could
therefore leave. These concerns seem to have materialized after the most
recent council meeting, where several school committee members were in
attendance. None of the school committee members were questioned about
this at the actual Parish Council meeting.
New
Business:
2010-2011
school budget: The budget approved by the school committee included
keeping staffing at current levels, increasing the base teacher pay by
less than 1 percent (.75%), and seeking a Parish subsidy of $665,000.
Tuition would increase by approximately 5%.
David Tennies motioned to approve the budget, Tony Spaeth seconded
the motion. Motion carried 7-0. The budget was sent on to Father Jerry,
the finance committee, and the Holy Angels Parish Council.
Note:
The tuition increase was needed because no tuition increase was passed
last year when
the budget was built on enrollment numbers that included families
that later left
(after the budget had been passed.) Therefore, the 5% tuition
averages 2.5% per year over the last two years.
K-3
Proposal: Pat Bollen reported that the Ad Hoc committee had decided upon a
2 day per week K-3 program. This would be in the “viewing room” which
would need approximately $7500 in renovation.
(Faith in our Future money will be sought for this expense.) David
Tennies motioned and Tony Spaeth seconded the motion to move forward with
this proposal. Motion carried 7-0.
Extended
Day Care: The Ad Hoc committee brought discussion regarding an extended
day care service.
Nancy Monday motioned and Sarah Riesberg seconded the motion to
move forward with this proposal. Motion carried 7-0.
Registration
Deposit:
As other Catholic schools in the area have done for years, Holy
Angels School Committee looked at a registration deposit.
Discussion centered on a $100.00 per family deposit. If the deposit
were received by a certain date, it would be applied to the following
year’s tuition. Other schools within driving range have had a deposit
ranging from $100.00 / family, up to as high as $500.00 per child.
Had
this been in place last spring, the school would have had some early
warning that a group of people were planning to leave and could have
adjusted the budget before it was too late to do so. Since people left
after teacher contracts had been signed and budgets had been approved, the
current financial situation became a reality. The school committee does
not want to be in that situation again. A deposit will help determine who
will actually be in the school the following fall by seeking a financial
commitment. Those who pay the registration prior to the deadline, and who
send their kids to Holy Angels School, would see no net financial impact
as the deposit would count toward their tuition.
Greg Zimmer motioned and Sara Riesberg seconded the motion to
approve this registration fee. The motion carried 7-0.
Next
Meeting / Closing Prayer / Adjournment:
Greg Rinn lead the committee in a closing prayer.
The
next meeting is the February 24th regular
meeting.

-A goal of March 24th was set for a plan to be reported to the
school committee.
C.

grade class is still in need

-Staffing levels for the school were discussed.
- Tuition and student numbers from other Washington County Catholic

activities is planned

lunch, a Combined Mass with other Catholic schools in area.

- Open House will take place on Sunday the 31st of January.
-Thank you to the development committee and the P.A.C. group. Many new

B.
Catholic Knights information was reviewed by the committee, but
will not be distributed with school folders. People interested in buying
insurance and joining Catholic Knights can review the ad on the back of
the Holy Angels bulletin.
C.
Faculty Appreciation: A
signed thank you card was passed around the group regarding the Christmas
celebration.
D.
Review of the
number of parent surveys returned indicated that in 2003, 49% of families
returned their survey; in 2007,46 % and in 2009, 57%.
Discussion centered on how to convince more people to return their
surveys. All agreed that is it not fair to assume that many of the
families who did not turn in a survey are dissatisfied, as some people
have implied. The School
Committee was diligent in its efforts to obtain surveys anonymously from
all families.
5. Committee Reports:
A.
Athletic Committee:
Mr. Chesak and David Tennies reported on the Holy Angels Classic which was
going on during the meeting. The next athletic committee meeting was
scheduled for January 26th, 2010.
B.
Development Committee: A very active committee resulted in the
following accomplishments.
- Alumni relations is considering opening
the school reunion to more graduation years.
- The Gifts from the Heart raffle has
collected over 100 items for the raffle. Donations are still
coming in.
-The committee is looking to the Boston
Store Community Day fundraiser.
- A spring flea market is being
investigated for this spring.
-Holy Angels School students and Mike
Sternig were invited to participate in the Archdiocese radio ads for
Milwaukee Archdiocese Catholic Schools. They will be featured on radio
spot ads in the near future.
- A cookie dough fundraiser is in the planning stages.
6. Financial Report:
A. Annual
Fund: A total of 85 people donated $12,185, which compares to previous
years.
C.
No Financial Report was available: Since the Parish now handles all
financial aspects of the school Mike Sternig will be asking them for a
print-out of the report to present to the committee in the future. This
will help us better understand the current budget and better plan the next
one.
D.
Stehling Project interest money:
In the past Mike Sternig was able to deposit the money from when it
was received until it was spent, earning interest in the range of
$1000-$5000 per year. The money is now deposited with the Parish instead
of the school and that interest income is no longer available. Discussion
centered on how to convince the Parish to deposit the money in an interest
bearing account. Hopefully, this oversight will be corrected so the
revenue stream will be restored.
7. Open to All (no actionable items):
A. Athlete’s
Prayer: Nancy Monday reported seeing a cool athlete’s prayer
painted on the wall at the Port Catholic gym. Discussion followed to see
if we can get an athlete’s prayer or some other symbol of our faith in
our gym.
B. Mr. Chesak reported that
the proficiency grid for the physical education classes is now complete.
He was involved at the archdiocesan level with developing the document.
C. An anonymous letter was distributed
by Mike Melaney, the Parish Council liaison .
8. Next Meeting / Closing Prayer /
Adjournment: Nancy Monday
lead the committee in a closing prayer.
The next meeting is the February 10th
budget meeting.

Sara Riesberg, Pat Gruenke, Tony Spaeth, Nancy Monday, Mike Sternig, Mike
Melaney (Parish Council liaison).
Excused: Greg Zimmer, Fr. Jerry
Guests:
Maureen Anhalt, Barbara Gunnare, Pat Bollen, Rob Mas
1. Call to Order / Prayer
(7:00pm)
2.
Approval of Minutes: After a motion by Pat, seconded by Dave,
minutes from the November meeting were approved.
October minutes were corrected to reflect that Tony Spaeth was in
attendance.
3.
Old Business:
A. Board Annual Goals for 09-10
i.
School Spirit, Marketing, Recruitment
Development of a marketing plan is underway with heightened
enthusiasm from the PR/Recruiting/Marketing Committee.
The School Committee discussed a plan to highlight the achievements of
Holy Angels graduates at the high school level.
ii.
Washington County Catholic Education
No update from the Archdiocese.
iii.
Project Lead the Way
Registration for the program has been submitted to PLTW.
The grant request to the Kern Family Foundation has also been sent in;
awards are expected to be made in January.
Training for teachers will be in the summer of 2010, and will be funded by
the Stehling Project.
A motion was made for Holy Angels to enter into an agreement with Project
Lead the Way to move forward with the program, and was approved by all.
B.
Parent Questionnaire
129
questionnaires were completed and returned, representing a 57% return
rate.
The Committee reviewed the summary at length and agreed that nothing in
the survey stands out as an action item or area of concern; however, some
results point to areas in which improvements can be made.
Also, the trend of data is similar to past surveys from 2003 and
2007.
Mike Sternig will present the surveys to teachers so that they may review
valuable comments made by parents.
Survey results will be shared with the school community via the monthly
newsletter and will be given to Parish Council for their review and
further distribution.
C.
Day Care Program
Data
from the parent questionnaire indicate that there is some interest in day
care, mostly in the form of after school care for Holy Angels students.
It is important to note that the numbers from this survey do not
take into account the needs of the 43% of families who did not return
their questionnaire.
Pat Bollen graciously volunteered to be part of the ad hoc committee to
further research the feasibility of this program.
4.
New Business
A.
2010-2011 Budget
Mike
Sternig presented a preliminary budget model assuming no salary scale
increase for staff, no change in staffing levels, and a parish subsidy of
$665,000.
An issue to consider is the current 1st grade enrollment of 28
students. We look forward to
updated enrollment figures in mid February.
5.
Committee Reports
A.
Athletic Committee
The
Holy Angels Basketball Classic scheduled for January 18-23 has only three
8th grade teams signed up and five 7th grade teams.
St. John’s is having a tournament that week which conflicts with
ours.
The 8th grade boys team is having difficulty fielding teams due
to detentions.
B.
Development Committee
PR/Recruiting/Marketing
would like to create a library of testimonials from HA graduates to be
used in the church bulletin, newsletters and marketing materials.
The Development Committee will request census information from the Parish
Council to assist them in recruitment efforts.
Teacher Treat Days are generating great participation from families
wishing to show their appreciation.
It was determined that the kitchen set up is not conducive to hosting a
spaghetti dinner fundraiser. A
chili dinner is being considered.
Gifts from the Heart donations are down from last year, likely related to
the economy.
The Packer tailgate party experienced low attendance, perhaps due to the
timing of it so close to Christmas.
6.
Financial Report
A.
Handout: Presented by
Mike Sternig
All
general accounts are in the process of being moved to the parish so that
they can pay all bills relating to these accounts.
B.
Tuition Collection
41
letters were sent out to current families who are behind on their
payments. 7 of them responded
with a payment; no contact from remaining families.
The Committee discussed the division of responsibility between the school
and parish with regard to unpaid tuition for current families and unpaid
tuition from families with children no longer in the school. Mike Nowack, Parish Council liaison to Finance Committee,
will take this issue to Finance Committee for clarification.

Suggestion: create a library of testimonials, to be used in bulletins,

Suggestion: host a school open house when more of the school community is
present, to give visitors a fuller picture of the school
Question: could more information about the school be given to new
parishioners when they register, as well as placed in baptism packets?
Could the tour of the church given to new parishioners include a tour of
the school?
Suggestion: teach and encourage parents to join in on marketing efforts
for the school
Suggestion: raise awareness of the endorsements given to HAS
by outside groups, such as the Stehling Project, as shown by their support
of the school
Committee asked for detail list of events scheduled for
Catholic Schools week (Jan 31 – Feb. 5), in order to coordinate
recruiting efforts with these events; Mike will give this information to
Matt
New Business
Items the Development Committee would like to communicate to the
Parish Council:
Parent Survey: 60% of the surveys have already been returned,
with more still coming in. This high return rate affords a great
opportunity to see what’s going on in the school from the point of view
of parents who have children in the schools; therefore, the Development
Committee recommends the survey results be addressed at a Parish Council
meeting, and be made public to the entire parish
Census information: this information would be useful to the
Development Committee in formulating plans to recruit more students;
therefore, the Development Committee requests access to this Census
information as soon as it is processed by the parish office.
Day Care: the Development Committee would enthusiastically
support a decision by the Parish Council to begin a Day Care program, as
this will aid recruitment efforts
Tom
will contact Mike Melaney regarding these items

3.
Old Business:
A.
Committee Goals: The
following goals were approved for the 2009-2010 school year.
1. School
Spirit/Marketing/Enrollment/Communication were rolled into one goal.
The committee people involved will be Nancy Monday, Tony Spaeth, Dave
Tennies.
2. Washington
County Catholic Education planning: Sara Riesberg will be involved in
this on behalf of the school committee.
3. Science curriculum:
Project Lead the Way: Greg
Zimmer will work with science teacher Barb Gunare on the science
curriculum goal.
B.
Enrollment/Budget:
1.
The official enrollment for Holy Angels School for the 2009-2010 school
year is 344. These students
come from 237 families.
2.
Salaries are down from Approx. $984,000 to $968,060. Changes were made in
the resource learning center, which saved money.
3.
An additional Parish subsidy of $62,000 may be needed because of the
decrease in enrollment during the summer months.
4.
The uncollected tuition from the 2008-2009 school year is $20,000. Of
this, $10,000 is the responsibility of families no longer at Holy Angels
School. Collection efforts continue.
C.
New Family Survey:
1.
There are 25 families who are new to Holy Angels School in the
2009-2010 school year. In
general our new families have fewer kids/family enrolled than the 22
families who left.
2.
Strengths
listed by the new families in the survey included but were not limited to:
Strong religious values, a safe, a welcoming environment, strong
academics, strength of Parish families and Parish support, growth in
Catholic Faith, positive alumni experiences, and our smaller class sizes
with personal attention. A complete list is available from Mike Sternig.
4.
New Business:
A.
Accreditation Process update:
1.
All paperwork has been sent in, on time.
2.
The process for hiring substitute teachers was reviewed.
3.
The accreditation process is long, thorough and involves the Archdiocese
office of Education. This process is an example of a look at the school by
an outside source.
B.
Current Parent Survey for Fall 2009:
1.
Ideas discussed to see where current parents are at in their
satisfaction.
2.
The committee was directed to listen carefully to all concerns, and have
an open mind
when talking with parents.
3.
Problems from the previous year were discussed at length.
4.
A desire to move on from last year was expressed.
Parish
Council Concerns: The committee went over the lists of the 25 new Holy Angels
School families and the 22 former Holy Angels School families:
1. Of the 22
families that left, 11 (26 kids) indicated they were dissatisfied. Nine of
those eleven were contacted by members of this committee and interviewed.
Three of the eleven who left due to dissatisfaction are current Holy
Angels Parish Council members, and most of the 11 families who left had
done extensive volunteer work for HAS in the past.
2.
Of the 11 families who listed reasons other than dissatisfaction, four
families moved or
had
transportation concerns (10 kids), five listed the reason as personal or
financial (8 kids), two
families (2 kids) listed a desire for their student to go to school with
friends, and one left to
attend a Lutheran school. (One of the dissatisfied parents had listed
finances as an issue which
resulted in 12 families in this category instead of 11.)
3. Sixteen of the students who left (35.6%) are now attending
a private, Catholic school that is not accredited by the Milwaukee
Archdiocese. (Note: Aquinas Academy is accredited by the National
Consultants for Education, http://nceducation.org/
which uses the “Integral Formation”
method designed by the Legionaries of Christ Order.)
4.
The specific reasons for the dissatisfaction in families leaving are not
easily identified, nor quantified. The lack of data makes it difficult to
formulate an action plan despite a desire to learn from the past.
5.
While the school administration and committee have discussed problems and
made changes since concerns were raised, rumors continue to float through
the West Bend community making a Spirit of healing, and closure difficult
to achieve.
6.
A groundswell of support from satisfied parents has started as happy
parents perceive the school is under attack.
7.
While a strong desire to learn from the issues of last year was discussed,
the need for closure is also a major concern as teachers and the
administration work for our current students.
8.
The current school year is off to an excellent start. Mike Sternig will
publish the “State of the School” report and send it to all parents.
This will hopefully bring closure to last year’s issues.
9.
Teachers, administration, and parents expressed a strong interest in
healing and forgiving of past conflicts. Students have indicated that many
friends who left are missed.
5.
Committee Reports:
A.
Athletic Committee:
Dave Tennies reported that the vacant positions on the committee have been
filled. The volleyball tournament will take place on Oct. 12-17 and basketball parent meetings are scheduled for October 28th.
B.
Development Committee:
PAC: There is still a
need for a co-chair for this committee.
The August 30th open house went well. The committee will
meet in October.
6.
Financial Report: The financial
handout was given and the committee went over the current budget. The
decision of families to leave after the budget had already been planned
has resulted in the need for additional funding.
7.
Open to All (no actionable items)
A.
A school Mom talked about different styles of Catholic identity including
different orders within the Church and the unique charisms they bring. She
indicated that different families within the Church prefer different
styles of worship, but all are called to be Catholic and to love and
respect each other.
8.
Meeting Calendar:
A.
The
next meeting will be October 14th at 7:00PM in the science
room.
B.
The November 18th meeting is changed to November 11th
due to the anticipated shoulder
surgery
for Mike Sternig. Prayers for a successful surgery are encouraged.
