St. Louis Park school board elects officers, approves 2025 compensation and liaison roles

Colin Cox was elected chair of the St. Louis Park Public School District school board and Director Mancini was elected vice chair as the board held its annual organizational meeting in January. The board also named Director Anderson as clerk, filled the treasurer role, approved liaison and member assignments for district advisory groups and outside organizations, set two listening-session dates for 2025 and adopted a 2025 compensation schedule for board members. All formal motions recorded during the meeting passed unanimously, 5-0.

The organizational meeting matters because the board’s officers and assigned liaisons set the district’s internal leadership for the year and determine who will represent the district on external bodies such as Brightworks and AMSD. The board also confirmed administrative delegations required for routine financial operations, and approved stipend levels that the board said are automatically adjusted in line with state education funding changes.
