Votes at a glance: ISD 622 board accepts donations, raises adult meal prices and schedules June meetings
Summary
The ISD 622 school board approved routine fiscal and scheduling items including acceptance of a $500 donation, an increase in adult meal prices, authorization to buy middle‑school social studies materials (see separate coverage), and set June meeting dates and a closed‑session superintendent evaluation.
At its meeting, the ISD 622 school board took several formal actions, all approved by voice vote unless otherwise noted.
• Donations: The board accepted a $500 donation from Karen Gitzmacher designated for enrichment activities for adults with disabilities. The board noted total monetary contributions for fiscal year 2024–25 of $84,062.71. The motion to accept donations was moved by Natardi and seconded by Anderson and passed by voice vote.
• Adult meal pricing: The board approved new minimum adult meal prices required by the Minnesota Department of Education: breakfast at $3.10 (up 10¢) and lunch at $5.50 (up 25¢). The change takes effect June 9, 2025, and was moved by Yener and seconded by Martins. Board members clarified that the pricing applies to adult meals served at district sites.
• Curriculum purchase authorization: The board authorized the Teaching & Learning department to enter a six‑year agreement to purchase seventh and eighth grade social studies curriculum materials (McGraw‑Hill) at approximately $50,000 per year, not to exceed $300,000 over six years. That authorization was moved by Levinson, seconded by Anderson and passed by voice vote. (The curriculum adoption is covered in a separate article.)
• Meeting scheduling: The board set a June 10 work‑study session for 4:30 p.m. in Conference Room 202 at the District 622 Education Center and scheduled a closed session to evaluate the superintendent on June 24 immediately following the 4:30 p.m. board business meeting. The motion to set the June 10 meeting was moved by Swar and seconded by Martins; the closed session motion was moved by Yener and seconded by Martins. Both motions passed.
All motions were recorded in the minutes as approved; board members voted by voice and the chair called for “Aye” during each recorded vote.
