\"My name is Rachel Yan, and as a student body vice president, I will be providing monthly reports to the school board on the Wayzata High School experience,\" she said. Yan told the board the school’s link crew welcomed roughly 1,000 freshmen on the first day of school; about 130 student leaders assisted in the effort. She said the student body’s enrollment puts the high school at about 4,000 students.

Yan also announced she will serve as Minnesota state representative to the National Student Council and summarized upcoming student activities, including homecoming planning, theater productions, and preprofessional club meetings. She said athletics are off to a strong start, with girls cross country and tennis recording early wins and boys varsity soccer defeating Hawkins 2–0.

Board members asked a question about the Trojan Tribune student-run outlet and accessing its reporting; Yan said issues are accessible via the Tribune’s Instagram and QR codes.

District elections clerk Amy Geis told the board that absentee voting will begin Sept. 19 at the district service center, and that voters who prefer mailed ballots may request them through the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website. \"Absentee voting does start on September 19 ... and will be held at the district service center at 13305 Twelfth Avenue North,\" Geis said.

The board voted to adopt the resolution appointing the named absentee ballot board judges and later approved the 2025 hourly rates for election judges. The hourly rates presented to the board matched levels used in 2023: head judges at $20 per hour, technical judges at $18 per hour and judges at $15 per hour. Administration said the district’s rates exceed those paid by the nearby city of Plymouth to aid recruitment.

Both actions were approved by roll-call vote.

The board and clerk discussed ballot logistics. Geis confirmed voters can request a mailed absentee ballot online and may either return it by mail to the county or bring it to the district office, where staff can spoil a ballot and re-issue one if a voter desires to vote in person instead.

The board approved Policy 503 (compulsory attendance), Policy 602 (acceleration, retention and enrichment) and Policy 609 (commercial media use). The administration said the policies were reviewed using Minnesota School Boards Association model language and were mainly technical and terminology edits.

The recommended action to approve the policies was moved and seconded and the board approved them by roll-call vote. The vote was recorded in the transcript as unanimous.

The board’s policy-review process includes monthly meetings of a policy committee consisting of three board members and district administration. Superintendent Dr. Chase Anderson said these policies were reviewed as part of the regular cycle and that district stakeholders participated where necessary.

No substantive changes to district practice were described in the meeting; administrators characterized the edits as aligning district language with MSBA templates.

Anderson said the growth is driving facilities work, new hires and attention to state funding changes. \"For the first time in our school district's history, our high school has surpassed that 4,009 through grade 9 through 12, student mark for the first time in the history of our district,\" he said.

The presentation summarized human-resources activity, curriculum priorities, facilities projects and emerging budget pressures. Anderson told the board the district hired about 164 new staff members this year and has roughly 1,500 total employees. He said 86 of the new hires were teachers who are being onboarded through the district’s new-teacher orientation and mentorship programs. The district also is piloting a student-data system, Abre, to track intervention and performance data.

Facilities work listed in the presentation included roof replacements, parking-lot and mechanical upgrades, and a West Middle School conversion that will create three new music rooms from roughly 13,000 square feet of former locker-room space. Anderson said district buildings total about 2,000,000 square feet on roughly 500 acres.

Anderson and finance staff flagged revenue uncertainty for the next state biennium. He described reductions to a recent state rollout of student-support funding and to special-education transportation reimbursement that together reduced district revenues by an estimated $500,000–$600,000 for 2025–26. He also described a statewide task force reviewing special-education costs, saying participants were discussing reductions that could total about $250 million statewide — a change that, if implemented, the superintendent said would create budgetary pressure for local districts.

Executive Director of Finance and Operations Trevor Peterson briefed the board on the district’s July combined financial reports and noted $60 million in general-fund investments and a small balance of construction-related abatements. Peterson said July activity is typically light for revenues because state aid is timed to annual enrollment reconciliation.

District operational statistics presented to the board included: about 85 buses (495 routes), 45 special-education buses (172 routes), roughly 90 custodians, about 1,500 total staff, and food-service volumes of approximately 1.6 million lunches and nearly 400,000 breakfasts last year. Anderson also noted the district’s OPEB (other post-employment benefits) trust was established about 17 years ago and remains funded.

Board members asked clarifying questions about fidelity checks for instructional interventions and staffing metrics; Anderson and his leadership team described classroom spot checks, coach-led observations and alignment to PLC work. Anderson said the district is monitoring enrollment closely and will provide additional updates if the board moves toward a facilities referendum.

The presentation closed with a back-to-school video and a reminder that the district work session is scheduled for Sept. 22 at 5 p.m.

","Superintendent Dr. Chase Anderson told the Wayzata Public School District board that the high school passed 4,000 students and the district exceeded 13,000 K–12 students, prompting facilities projects, new hires and close attention to state funding changes.","actionData","errors"]
