Early in the meeting the board voted to amend the agenda to add an audience opportunity for public comment; the roll-call amendment passed. The board then heard two public commenters during the added audience opportunity period.

Superintendent Chase Anderson explained the administrative item on the agenda and referenced the Minnesota Information Technology Enterprise Identity and Access Management standard (MNIT), which requires districts to designate an identified official with authority who will assign duties and authorize external user access to MDE secure systems. Anderson asked the board to approve the attached resolution naming him to serve in that role. After a motion, the board approved the resolution by unanimous roll call.

The board thanked administrative staff for logistics that enabled remote participation; Director Valentina Ayers participated by Zoom. The designated official will be responsible for annual recertification of user access rights to Minnesota state systems and for assigning authorized access consistent with MDE requirements.

The board's vote on the agenda amendment and the resolution were procedural but required for compliance with state identity and access management rules.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","School Board Special Regular Meeting- June 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its June 23 special meeting the Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education voted to add an audience opportunity to the agenda and unanimously approved a resolution naming Superintendent Chase Anderson as the district's identified official with authority to manage access to Minnesota Department of Education systems.","taxTitle","Wayzata Public School District, School Boards, Minnesota","taxId",13559,"location","Minnesota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6522705,"Wayzata board approves preliminary FY2026 budget with roughly $277.7 million in revenue and about $285 million in expenditures",143,1254000,1397000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067504-f4ee4255282761a74d558b886633fcd8&start=1254&end=1397","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067504-f4ee4255282761a74d558b886633fcd8/thumbnail_1254000.jpg","/articles/6522705/Minnesota/Wayzata-board-approves-preliminary-FY2026-budget-with-roughly-2777-million-in-revenue-and-about-285-million-in-expenditures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522705-3eec22a892447993b52138467455da6b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162194&Signature=b480HG50vD4x-ghD50bYFm2tfYvvJq5mmS99gjeeJTbQA9AlhqdnBVFBOri5KglHBFWvLdR0fgHEbPtH9ONlKOPRtt0UTnT7uhntcQhoK116Cw79vFuZZeRQ3bqG5w8OXVURpNbVEd5XuPGbVjVrTJDoDGmrsPrsFuZn3~Zkd0M3XEJOE-yEb0cDE7CSiCqhqjQ9Ms~kHTAXTxBo~j8aPhCoXTzLYv~zUYvZTedrNM6enukGq5xA~A0Z2RAeeSIN4sSWAKUzrcsH5Fda1S33Spr~tuTPDLtCuHI305z3b2kmcbZmpqJuJk9QWYC2fGa8GFfxPhURMINsmQaSSUBwOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education unanimously approved the district's preliminary budget for fiscal year 2026 at a special meeting on June 23.

Finance Director David Draskovich presented the revenue and expenditure totals included in the administration's recommendation, reporting revenues of $277,672,519 and total expenditures described by staff as about $285 million for FY2026. After the presentation the board voted to approve the preliminary budget by roll call.

Draskovich summarized the recommendation and then told the board, “My recommendation is to approve the preliminary budget for the FY 2526 fiscal year.” The board moved and seconded the recommendation and approved it on a roll-call vote without dissent.

Board members framed the budget approval as a core board responsibility. One director said approving the budget is “the most important job that a board can do” and thanked staff for following a multi‑year process leading to the preliminary totals.

The motion approved the administrative recommended revenue and expenditure budget by fund for FY2026. The preliminary budget will be posted in the district packet and serves as the baseline for subsequent formal adoption steps and required public notices; final adjustments may follow budget hearings and additional analysis before final adoption.","The Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education on June 23 approved the district's preliminary fiscal year 2026 budget, which administration presented as approximately $277.7 million in revenues and about $285 million in expenditures; the vote was unanimous.",{"_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},6522711,"Wayzata board votes 4-3 to move school board elections to even-numbered years; adopts three-year transition",2872,1360000,4232000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067504-f4ee4255282761a74d558b886633fcd8&start=1360&end=4232","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067504-f4ee4255282761a74d558b886633fcd8/thumbnail_1360000.jpg","/articles/6522711/Minnesota/Wayzata-board-votes-4-3-to-move-school-board-elections-to-even-numbered-years-adopts-three-year-transition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522711-be32c1df5fbc5b195844a8b81c389154/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162194&Signature=YgpIjhEI~M0y6zdsNNed0Rbm9kUYhtwWj~FKuiVr87Y7DsnnnvjDdAp-uZL~SKrScwC~h7qeP6VUT~QAQPor7LQxWbtl4Wc8RDCljD7cBedYCv~LE1FVIYJ8THhg0KJSsUSYHz0SYGe9Ao-7Lv7BFCjk2BsmbauSnosUfT0HGr6vnDtzEgzSBGMWsN2ju1YaRFJvSssE9jqMPgnqxiQ3u86lL8YK5jv6eDL-zT-2HBxxOT04-18idcuHKFX6JgFmS10ZOWx7l2Wp0K-sk1vzQmXrTjttINm3GRPgw1THJm3um2G89u4i-XJUhTN0Ex5b3PybCVius3SzG1WkZ9nJSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education voted 4-3 on June 23 to move its school board elections from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years and approved a transition plan that establishes three-year terms for members elected in 2025 and 2027, with four-year terms beginning in 2028.

Board members debated financial and civic implications before the roll call. Supporters cited expected cost savings and higher turnout in even-year elections; opponents said odd-year elections better allow the district to focus local campaigns on Wayzata-specific issues and keep national partisan rhetoric out of school contests.

In public comment, Cheryl Olsen told the board, “I have concerns about the vote to move school board elections to even years,” saying she believed the board had not given enough opportunity for community input. A teacher who identified herself only as Rachel, and said she is the teachers union president, urged caution about moving dollars away from classrooms and noted, “The savings of over a $100,000 every 2 years, that's pretty significant.”

The board first voted on a motion to adopt a resolution moving Wayzata school board general elections to even-numbered years; that motion passed 4-3. The roll call recorded yes votes from Directors Paras Bende, Sheila Pryor, Valentina Ayers and Milan Sahoni, and no votes from Directors Dan Genestra, Sarah Johansen and Heidi Kader. (A yes vote on the initial motion indicated support for changing to even-year elections.)

After that vote the board considered two options for transitioning current terms: a one-year extension for all members (a five-year option overall) and a three-year transition. The motion to extend current terms by one year failed for lack of a second. The board then adopted a resolution to set three-year terms for members elected in 2025 and 2027 and four-year terms thereafter; that resolution passed 4-3 on a roll call with yes votes from Directors Valentina Ayers, Dan Genestra, Sheila Pryor and Milan Sahoni, and no votes from Directors Sarah Johansen, Paras Bende and Heidi Kader.

Under the adopted resolution the board directed that the county auditor be notified that the district will hold its general elections in November of even-numbered years beginning in 2028, and that terms of office for members elected in 2025 and 2027 will be three years to effect the transition.

Board discussion touched on multiple considerations: the estimated biennial election savings cited by speakers and some board members; concerns about partisanship and nationalized campaign issues in even-year ballots; historical turnout (several board members referenced that only a small share of the electorate voted in prior odd-year contests); and administrative implications for aligning levies and bonds with election calendars. Several members said they wanted more formal public engagement but proceeded with the special-meeting votes.

The board’s action was procedural and binding; the district will notify the county auditor and publish the change in accordance with Minnesota election law and local practice. The district packet and the adopted resolutions provide further legal language and timelines for the transition.","On June 23 the Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education voted 4-3 to shift its general school board elections to even-numbered years and approved a transition that sets three-year terms for members elected in 2025 and 2027, with four-year terms resuming in 2028.","actionData","errors"]
