The Minnetonka School Board voted Oct. 9 to adopt the Minnetonka Public School District’s 2024–25 annual report, a public summary of achievement, programs, staffing changes and the facility study that underpins the district’s November bond referendum.

The annual report compiles student achievement highlights, program profiles, financial data and community survey results and will be printed and distributed to residents and families after the board’s adoption.

“Once it is adopted, we will then send it off to print and then it goes out to all residents and it goes out to all families,” said Dr. Jackie Geddy, executive director of communications, as she presented the final draft. The report features the superintendent’s message, board goals, signature program descriptions, points of pride and a financial overview.

The document spotlights measurable successes and districtwide work from the prior year. Highlights included 28 Minnetonka High School seniors named National Merit semifinalists for the Class of 2026; 34 students who earned International Baccalaureate diplomas in 2025 (13 of them bilingual); high MCA and NWEA scores relative to comparator districts; and an annual parent survey in which 97 percent of respondents rated their child’s education as “excellent” or “good.”

The report also summarizes the facility study task force process. Superintendent Law and communications staff noted the task force of 26 community members met at every school and issued recommendations that led to an $85,000,000 building bond referendum the board placed on the Nov. 4 ballot.

The annual report includes a new two‑page introduction to two recently hired executive directors — Kim Carlson in community education and Amanda Fay in technology — and profiles of signature programs such as Minnetonka Research, language immersion, Tonka Online, Vantage and Momentum. The report also notes a $100,000 gift from the Minnetonka Public Schools Foundation to fund decodable readers for K–2 classrooms in English and Spanish immersion.

Board member Kim Marie praised the final product during the meeting. “This is phenomenal,” Kim Marie said. “It has encompassed everything. The goals, the every part of our district … it’s fantastic.”

The board adopted the annual report by voice vote; no member opposed the motion. Following adoption, staff said the report would be printed and distributed to residents, families and staff and posted on the district website.
