The Board conducted its 2022-23 officer elections.

The board reviewed and approved a football-only fast track realignment request from Milwaukee Public Schools, which required unanimous support of all conference schools. The action moves the Washington/Fuller Collegiate co-op from the Richardson Division of the league to the Blackbourn Division, and it moves Milwaukee Reagan to the Richardson Division from the Blackbourn Division beginning this fall.
Among the reports presented by the executive staff to the Board, the state boys' golf championships will again be held at The Meadow Valley Course at Blackwolf Run in Kohler next spring. In addition, the state girls' and state boys' swimming & diving championships will continue to be held at Waukesha South High School in 2022-23.

Results of a special election conducted for positions on the Advisory Council were presented to the Board. Andrea Sheridan, district administrator at Athens was elected as a small school representative, and Kent Kindschy, district administrator at Turtle Lake was also voted in as a small school representative. Another special election will be held for the gender and minority at-large representatives on the Advisory Council. The deadline for declaring candidacy for these two positions is Monday, Aug. 22, 2022.
