http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.depere.k12.wi.us/District/board/members.php
returns:
"Congratulations, this document validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional!"
(while it doesn't, the SYSTEM identifier in your document type
declaration points to a non-existent resource ('DTD/xhtml1-loose.dtd'),
I suggest to perform a simple HTTP HEAD request for the DTD (until we
switch to a real XML validator for XML documents) if it is unequal to
http://www.w3.org/..., XML 1.0 requires that SYSTEM identifiers point to
existing resources).

It actually does.
I don't see any problem here...
