Summary
At its Feb. 26 meeting the Roseville Area School Board received the American Indian Parent Advisory Committee transmittal, approved the 2025–26 Achievement and Integration budget, accepted a retirement, approved policy 400 (acceptable use) and school calendars, and approved consent items.
The Roseville Area School Board on Feb. 26 took several formal actions: it received the American Indian Parent Advisory Committee (APAC) transmittal and roster, approved the district’s 2025–26 Achievement and Integration (A&I) budget, approved the second reading of policy 400 (acceptable use), approved the 2025–26 school calendars and the draft 2026–27 calendars, accepted one retirement, and approved the consent agenda.
APAC transmittal and roster: The board received APAC’s transmittal of its resolution and committee roster as required for the Minnesota American Indian Education Aid process. APAC reported a midyear vote of non‑concurrence on grant progress and requested increased district follow‑through and policy changes; the board recorded receipt of APAC’s materials and will follow up with the APAC chair and prepare the district response required by MDE.
Achievement and Integration budget: Superintendent of Equity and Innovation Spencer (last name as on file) presented the proposed A&I budget and explained it supports AVID instruction, dual language Spanish immersion staffing, cultural liaisons, professional development and racially identifiable school supports. Board members asked about funding sources and proportional support for programs; staff said some program costs are supported through other district funds and private partners and pledged to provide a funding‑source breakdown on request. A motion to approve the 2025–26 A&I budget as presented was moved and seconded and the board approved the budget by voice vote.
Policy 400 (acceptable use): The board approved the second reading of Policy 400 (acceptable use) as presented; no changes were recommended since the first reading.
Calendars: The board gave final approval to the 2025–26 school year calendars and approved the draft calendars for 2026–27 after a second reading; the district noted the calendar committee meets several times beginning in the fall to produce recommended calendar drafts.
Retirement: The board recognized the retirement of Laura Bercus, an elementary teacher at Atchaton with 23 years of service; the board moved, seconded and approved the retirement with expressions of appreciation.
Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda (minus retirements) earlier in the meeting and subsequently approved the retirement as a separate consent action.
