The superintendent said the governor's budget target includes proposed education cuts of $240 million in the 2026–27 biennium and $445 million in 2028–29. She said the Senate target holds education funding flat in 2026–27 and reduces funding by $687 million in 2028–29, while the House target includes a $40 million directed increase for the 2026–27 biennium and holds funding flat in 2028–29.

The superintendent told the board that recent policy changes and some unfunded mandates increase costs for districts and that many neighboring districts are already planning staff reductions. She said Spring Lake Park has so far avoided cuts through enrollment growth and proactive planning, but enrollment has flattened and the district is preparing for the possibility of reduced revenue. \"We are planning for a loss, a significant loss in revenue, as a result of connected to the free lunch program,\" the superintendent said, noting district staff have worked to keep families' free-and-reduced lunch forms current to mitigate impacts.

The superintendent said the district will \"keep a close eye on what is happening in Saint Paul\" and stressed that board and staff decisions should position the district for an uncertain funding future. Board members responded with questions and continued the meeting into other agenda items.

No formal board action was taken on the superintendent's report; it was provided for information and situational awareness.","The superintendent briefed the board on state budget targets and enrollment trends, citing proposed cuts in some proposals and urging prudence as district enrollment flattens.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081916,"Finance director reports February cash position and upcoming capital expenditures",246,1709000,1955000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941208-195b6f1656f319368d972a2175a233a4&start=1709&end=1955","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941208-195b6f1656f319368d972a2175a233a4/thumbnail_1709000.jpg","/articles/6081916/Minnesota/Finance-director-reports-February-cash-position-and-upcoming-capital-expenditures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081916-915ee69c95fd4c46501f0958fea0fcd2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771012714&Signature=YG32ls06xLaik6XS7Knwe8GqQraDxMiR1O00zKyQAYZ6C05MTJx7uXvkxgXL6PnYsx2-Qh~Z~TKQ1PAiACNTBEIsSJ6ZByWTZD33xMok8XY-8yRma6xX1dZBkAFnAoAats6LZRk3Uwts0KmgozAZ9fsM5jYsqRfeOND7gxBIDfJfuVqSHVZx13x3E-3z3ib-ZdWuVH30BFmvB277pPnQj4hFKRFxujMQ3mbrHi7p9yMBaRKKtO4QS8OrzdPFDeqbNXcwZxmGRo0G9OBq~gGB2XP7dJYznWOwHW31wydxYczl8prmbE49kJ~Inoiv9n1AX0vefO-Gpfv3v58usz9Ceg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Amy Schultz, district finance staff, presented the monthly financial report for February 2025 and summarized cash balances, receipts and disbursements.

Schultz said the district's cash report shows roughly $63,000,000 for the month. On receipts, she said \"a little over $7,000,000 of the $8 that's shown was state aids,\" with additional federal program receipts tied to meals and seasonal revenue from high school sports registrations. She noted a small amount of interest revenue and other typical monthly receipts.

On expenses, Schultz said February was a typical month and there were no unusual large payments. She warned that cash balances will decline over the summer because of routine payments: \"we already know that we're gonna have $8,000,000 alone in just summer payout checks coming up, we know that we have $7,000,000 in furniture, another million or 2 in facilities projects.\" Schultz said the $7,000,000 furniture project and other facilities work account for why some expense categories look low year-to-date and that those will catch up as projects are paid.

Schultz described year-to-date comparisons to prior years and explained that federal relief timing during the pandemic years complicates direct comparisons. She said general fund spending is \"relatively close\" to prior years and that departments manage most categorical variances.

No board action was required; the presentation was informational and board members had no substantive questions after the report.","District finance staff reported February cash and receipts, noting roughly $63 million shown on cash report, state aid receipts, and near-term capital outlays including a $7 million furniture project and upcoming summer payrolls.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081921,"Spring Lake Park details summer programs: K–8 summer counts, high school credit recovery, childcare and free meals",557,954000,1511000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941208-195b6f1656f319368d972a2175a233a4&start=954&end=1511","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941208-195b6f1656f319368d972a2175a233a4/thumbnail_954000.jpg","/articles/6081921/Minnesota/Spring-Lake-Park-details-summer-programs-K8-summer-counts-high-school-credit-recovery-childcare-and-free-meals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081921-f28e5ad1c619efe498d7ed71fdd1b0cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771012714&Signature=YmAjlxk-QqHwuh8yqMczAlFGc41RXMg2rm~VtryMJOMUj-ccw7fPp3ywaigwzeXJtDTlnHt0Jaxedu3BZ9bu1G6b4qQrK~8T9i8Wr82Jd5BaJxEGYb5wpBl2-VeOoHxAmhEoGKNLGpev72M0hE0oyAw2sM9JmJWB5wRDvNawUvvhFl6kstsNuaw4ah~pnfhaynpRdLCT2LJ6P0u3muK1-LpOTggQp-KG6K0MhsDeao9dUIPpxJIBolyEJ3g7JmOanmRk0FNs-zniwe6NADjz3DPuq0WKJy6yk~swYdj3XumRtfod7ogJSc45itElxnBcjma91ULh3Sa4UDiwTP8FAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dr. Hope Run, presenting for the district, gave the school board a preview of 2025 summer programming, outlining academic supports, childcare, enrichment and free meals.

Dr. Run said Summer Counts, the district's K–8 summer school program, is a four-week program that starts the week of July 7 for students who have not met academic goals during the regular school year. \"Invitations for Summer Counts will be going out this week,\" Dr. Run said. She said last summer about 450 K–8 students participated and this year Summer Counts will be hosted at Park Terrace and Westwood.

High school summer programming is aimed at students who need credits or competency work; Dr. Run said roughly 300 high school students participated last year and the program begins the week of June 7. She noted that depending on an air-handling project at the high school, programming may move to Westwood after the July 4 break.

Registration for summer childcare opened March 1 and staff reported some programs are nearing capacity. Dr. Run said Learning Ventures (school-age childcare) will be based at Westwood this summer and Discovery Days for younger students will stay at the district service center. She described a roster of about 50 enrichment offerings, and said last summer roughly 1,000 students participated in athletic camps and clinics.

Dr. Run said the district again will provide free summer meals for children ages 1–18. Westwood will offer meals starting the week after school ends through Aug. 21; Park Terrace will offer meals for most of July. When a board member asked about meal counts, Amy Schultz (speaking during another part of the meeting) said exact counts were not available; historically most meal participants are Discovery Days and Learning Ventures students, with a small number of families showing up each day. When asked, district staff confirmed busing will be provided for summer programs.

Dr. Run also said Kinder Camp — a free, three-day morning orientation for children entering kindergarten in fall 2025 — will run near the end of summer and registration is open.

The board did not take action on the presentation; staff asked families to watch district communications and the website for registration details and exact meal times as the summer approaches.","District presented a preview of summer programming, including 4-week K–8 \"Summer Counts\" starting July 7, high school credit recovery starting June 7, near-capacity childcare, about 50 enrichment programs and free meal sites at Westwood and Park Terrace.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081926,"Spring Lake Park Schools to launch redesigned district and school websites April 17",638,121000,759000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941208-195b6f1656f319368d972a2175a233a4&start=121&end=759","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941208-195b6f1656f319368d972a2175a233a4/thumbnail_121000.jpg","/articles/6081926/Minnesota/Spring-Lake-Park-Schools-to-launch-redesigned-district-and-school-websites-April-17","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081926-46f0f41ccf4ff2e115b6220e590a01ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771012714&Signature=gYB1lA2aYX5OThEXu1HIiYaYidWwLx7f~5NGDerIa5WdbJrKTlKBqqwqnzbz9OReBwEhkqQlAkl7DMc2nN3QjCC6TQS9wjKNBJ-AzReInUENRxVi2HU9gSR51shmAUZp0aDksQvLIMcvDWRrrulzcBg5eDA~JGoCTx~7mVFXcPyxErDD6uRE~Mb6LgY9a1hrqcGuyT8x3v5C6AN2TxXMXy7cgbDw0Ju~dCtpJbMrg-bF2fkJjFzyt2~7ZnCwImGqbtGqmwkC3vKD3KoYfZpIqkzh29JuZ2SuFTq-4TY9vZSWHTKTmWccpqypWIlYIhmlX-DoBh~kyy2NC28nFqBJag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Spring Lake Park Schools staff told the school board on April 8 that the district will launch redesigned district and school websites on April 17.

Communications presenter Erica Tylen said the district is replacing 13 websites with an upgraded technical platform and refreshed visual design to improve mobile experience, search and navigation. \"Our launch day is April 17,\" Tylen said, adding the district has used a data-driven design process and preview sessions with content authors.

Tylen told the board the project began with a discovery phase and a content audit. The redesign will move each school to a subdomain and include a consistent \"Find it fast\" search button and prominent icons for the district's top pages. \"We are moving all of our school sites to subdomains. So that means all the URLs are gonna break. So if you have anything bookmarked, you'll wanna update those,\" Tylen said, and she warned that search engines will need time to re-index the new site.

Tylen described steps the district has taken before launch: card-sorting user tests, three prototype designs, a refreshed style guide, and a quality-assurance review with the vendor. She said staff preview sessions for content editors and a prelaunch communication to families and staff are under way.

Board members and attendees who previewed the site praised the visuals and school-specific photography. Board member Schmidt said the preview looked \"beautiful,\" and another attendee called the site \"easy\" to navigate. Tylen credited Jessica Johnson for project management and Mackenzie Finley for photography and graphics; she also thanked Will Wachman for a photograph used on the site.

Tylen said some content areas (including a staff intranet) will be completed after launch and asked for patience on launch day if content is temporarily unavailable while DNS and back-end settings update. She gave an email for post-launch issues: communications@district16.org.

The board did not take formal action on the item; the presentation was provided for information.

For more detail, district staff recommended users update bookmarks after April 17 and noted they will submit sitemaps to search engines and monitor for broken links after launch.","District communications staff told the school board the district will replace 13 sites with upgraded designs, new navigation and improved search on April 17; staff warned bookmarks and search indexing may break temporarily.","actionData","errors"]
