Votes at a glance: March 13 Minnetonka School Board actions
Summary
The Minnetonka School Board approved routine and policy items on March 13, including calendar changes for professional learning days, two policies on planning and emergency management, submission of the facilities review-and-comment packet to MDE, and changes to self‑insurance rates and third‑party administration.
The Minnetonka School Board recorded the following formal actions during its March 13 meeting. Where a roll-call tally was not taken in the transcript, the board recorded voice votes and motions were announced as carried.
Votes (selected) - Agenda adoption: Motion to adopt the March 13 agenda was made and carried by voice vote.
- Calendar change for 2025–26 (professional learning days): The board approved a change to the 2025–26 calendar to include up to three full professional learning days, with dates noted for 2025: August 25 (before the school year start), November 6 and January 5 (the day teachers return after winter break). The board voted to adopt the recommended calendar changes.
- Policy 803 (planning) and Policy 806 (crisis and emergency management): The board approved revisions to policy 803 (listed as planning) and policy 806 (crisis and emergency management); motions were made and carried by voice vote during the meeting.
- Facilities review-and-comment submission to Minnesota Department of Education: The board approved the administration’s request to file the district’s review-and-comment packet with MDE describing a proposed facilities package and authorized staff to proceed with the submission (see separate article for details).
- Self-insurance fund rates and third‑party administrator: The board approved recommended rate increases for the self‑insurance fund — district actuaries recommended a 5.25% increase in health premiums and a 3.28% increase in dental premiums to achieve break-even projections — and approved Blue Cross Blue Shield as the third‑party administrator for fiscal years 2026–27.
- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda as presented.
Notes: Most votes were taken by voice with motions and seconds recorded; the transcript does not provide roll‑call tallies or individual member voting records for these items. The March 13 votes authorized staff actions (calendar adjustments, policy updates, MDE submission, insurance contracting) and did not in themselves execute multi‑year capital projects; the facilities submission authorizes only the MDE review process, not a bond issuance.
