The Mounds View School Board recorded the following actions and outcomes at its regular meeting on Sept. 16.
Adoption of the agenda The board voted to adopt the meeting agenda. The motion was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote.

As part of the consent agenda, the district reported 14 gifts to schools and programs totaling $2,693.88 and 18 gifts to the Ralph Reeder (transcript: "Ralph Reader") food shelf totaling $42,288.13; the board accepted the gifts and extended thanks to donors per staff recommendation.
Policy adoptions (agenda item 4.1) The board adopted the policy revisions presented by the policy committee, including removal of monitoring method and frequency language for policies BG0101 and BG0109 and routing superintendent-limitation items into the superintendent review. Motion moved, seconded and carried by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.
Certification of proposed property tax levy (agenda item 5.1) The board certified the proposed property taxes using the legislature’s "levy the maximum" option for taxes payable in 2026 (calendar reference: certify proposed taxes as maximum on the levy limitation and certificate 2025 payable 2026).

Meeting procedure notes Most motions were carried on standard voice votes and the meeting record did not list individual roll-call tallies for each vote. Where the transcript did not identify motion makers or seconders, the meeting summary lists those fields as not specified.
Upcoming dates The board announced a truth-and-taxation hearing for Dec. 9 at 6 p.m. at the District Center and noted the Nov. 4 election will include the district’s capital projects referendum (if placed on the ballot) and three board seats up for election.
