Fridley School Board approves insurance, cooler replacement, policy updates and student stipend; consent agenda passes
Summary
At its March 18 meeting the Fridley Public School District Board approved several business items — including health insurance bids, a middle school cooler replacement, adoption of two policies and a $750 annual stipend for the student school board representative — and passed its consent agenda.
The Fridley Public School District Board approved a slate of business motions at its March 18 meeting, including acceptance of health insurance bids for the 2025–26 plan year, a bid to replace a cooler at Fridley Middle School, the second reading and adoption of two district policies, and a $750 annual stipend for the student school board representative.
