ISD 622 board approves FY26 capital budget, policy revisions, personnel measures and contracts; accepts $83,562 in donations

At its business meeting the North St. Paul‑Maplewood‑Oakdale ISD622 School Board approved the district’s FY26 capital expenditure budget, accepted charitable contributions totaling $83,562.71 and passed a package of administrative and facilities resolutions, including personnel actions and a construction change order at Tartan High School.

Director Anderson presented the proposed FY26 capital budget and described a new centralized process for capital requests beginning next year; the board adopted the capital expenditure resolution by voice vote. The board also approved ISD 916’s long‑term facilities maintenance (LTFM) allocation as the district’s proportionate share ($66,101.56) of the cooperative’s pay‑as‑you‑go projects.

The board accepted a detailed list of monetary and in‑kind donations and gifts totaling $83,562.71, including funds for scholarships, trap team equipment, BPA/DECA competition support and community education supplies. The donations motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.

On personnel the board adopted two human‑resources resolutions: termination (non‑renewal) of listed probationary teachers effective 06/06/2025 under Minnesota Statute 122A.40, subdivision 5, and termination of added teacher assignments/extracurricular portions of teacher contracts effective 06/06/2025. Both motions passed by voice vote; the board noted that unemployment eligibility, where applicable, is determined by the state agency.

Operations staff presented Change Order No. 9 from Northern Glass & Glazing for the Tartan High School additions and renovations project. The change order increases that contractor’s contract by $228,400 to install additional storefront systems to create additional security zones; the board approved the change order and directed the contract be amended accordingly.

The board adopted a set of policy revisions (third reading) that align district policy language with recent statutory and MSBA model changes, including updates to harassment and violence definitions, student publication language, interview procedures by outside agencies and references to the Read Act and other statutory cross‑references. Trustees approved the revisions via resolution.

Board members set the 2025‑26 meeting calendar and the May 6 work‑study agenda and closed the meeting after routine announcements.
