Summary
The ISD 622 school board approved a slate of routine and fiscal items March 18, including acceptance of donations, a 10.3% budget rate increase for district medical insurance (passed without use of reserve funds), maintenance of the district dental budget with partial reserve use, and scheduling of April meeting dates and location.
The Independent School District 622 school board voted March 18 to accept monetary and in-kind donations, approve insurance budget changes for 2025-26 and set the date, location and agenda for its April work session and business meeting.
Donations and gifts: The board unanimously approved acceptance of fiscal year 2024-25 contributions totaling $62,311, as presented by the director of finance. The listed donations included $14,000 from the Minnesota Vikings for a North High girls flag football startup, $2,225 memorial donations for North High football and wrestling, $500 to North High Band, $1,500 from Stillwater Elks Lodge for North High robotics, $500 from Knights of Columbus for Gladstone Meals on Wheels, 20 pairs of youth gloves donated by Sherry Waller and other contributions noted in the board packet. The motion to accept the gifts was moved by Director Nittari and seconded by Director Anderson; the board approved the resolution.
Insurance budget actions: The board approved an overall 10.3% increase to the district's medical insurance budget rates for the July 1, 2025'June 30, 2026 plan year. The district insurance committee recommended the increase after reviewing utilization and broker analysis. The committee also recommended increasing the HSA plan deductible to preserve IRS-compliant deductible status (to $3,300 single / $6,600 family). Staff indicated the committee recommended using $0 from the district's self-insured health fund reserve to cover the increase; the increase will be reflected in the 2025-26 budget and passed through to policyholders. The medical insurance resolution was moved by Director Yener and seconded by Director Livingston and approved by the board.
Dental budget action: The board approved maintaining the current self-funded dental budget rate for 2025-26 and the plan to utilize $66,000 from the dental fund reserve to support that rate. The motion was moved by Director Swar and seconded by Director Anderson and carried.
Other administrative motions: The board approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session (moved by Swore, seconded by Martins) and approved the consent agenda (moved by Martin, seconded by Livingston).

That motion passed on a board vote. The meeting adjourned at the close of business following the board communications and motions.
