Votes at a glance: Jordan Public School District board approves athletic trip, MSHSL participation, Southwest Metro levies and insurance renewal
Summary
The board approved an overnight wrestling trip, annual Minnesota State High School League participation, two Southwest Metro levy resolutions (long-term facilities maintenance and Safe Schools) and the district's annual insurance renewals. The motions passed by roll call where required and by voice in other cases.
At its meeting the Jordan Public School District board approved several routine but formal actions: an overnight high-school wrestling trip to a Colorado camp, the district’s annual participation in the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL), two levy-related resolutions from Southwest Metro Intermediate School District (long-term facilities maintenance and Safe Schools) and the district’s insurance renewal package.
Overnight wrestling trip: The board approved a trip for 13 Scott West wrestlers and two coaches to attend Rocky Mountain Wrestling Camps in Gunnison, Colorado, June 14 for approximately one week. Registration costs of $310 per participating student were noted; the Scott West Booster Club was covering transportation and lodging. The motion passed by voice vote.
MSHSL annual agreement: The board approved the district’s annual agreement to participate in MSHSL activities and bylaws. District staff said the annual fee is nominal ($100 district fee plus per-participant fees) and that MSHSL offers grant programs and tournament operations funded by dues and ticket revenue. The motion passed by voice vote.
Southwest Metro long-term facility maintenance (LTFM) resolution: The board approved a resolution to include Jordan Public School District’s proportionate share of the Southwest Metro Intermediate School District No. 288 LTFM budget for pay 2026 levy collection. The intermediate district’s LTFM budget was listed at $168,009.57; Jordan’s share was $8,180.45. The resolution passed by roll-call vote; board members recorded “yes” votes during the roll call.
Southwest Metro Safe Schools program resolution: The board approved a separate resolution to include the district’s proportionate share of the Southwest Metro Safe Schools program in the levy. Jordan’s share for pay 2026 was reported as $10,367.34. The resolution passed by roll-call vote with the same roll-call procedure used for the LTFM item.
Insurance renewal: The board approved the district’s property, casualty and workers’ compensation insurance renewal package. Staff reported a total premium package of about $336,690.31, an increase of roughly $20,688 attributed mainly to added square footage and rising replacement values; staff recommended continuing with recommended carriers for property/liability, cyber and workers’ compensation coverage. The motion passed by voice vote.
Where roll-call tallies were recorded by name in the meeting record, the board secretary read individual “yes” votes during the roll call. For voice-vote items, the minutes recorded unanimous “aye” responses and no recorded “no” votes.
