The Cannon Falls school board met in the boardroom and approved routine business Tuesday evening, including the district finance report, a consent resolution accepting donations, certification that the Nov. 4 special election was uncontested, and an updated 2025–26 winter coaching list.

Josh, a district staff member who presented the finance material, said the district's cash-flow worksheet covers general, debt-service, food-service, community and building-construction funds and that "we did a pretty good job in fiscal 25 of managing finances." He told the board the district expects a December cleanup of Dakota County property-tax items and outlined the debt-service schedule: principal and interest payments early in the year with an August interest-only payment. He also reported the district's roof replacement project is about 95% complete, with retainage held until the final walkthrough and sign-off.

Jeff read the consent resolution listing donations the board accepted this month, including a 40-foot aluminum bench from Ron and Marsha Kriberg; $50 in school supplies from Dudley Flodine; $150 from Gemini for a turkey-bingo/wellness committee; $80 from Dudley's Pizza for an elementary pizza-with-the-principal event; a tree and labor donation from Canyon Tree Farm; $300 from an anonymous donor for kindergarten; and $5,000 from Limestone Fire and Security for a scholarship.

On the Nov. 4 special election, Jeff explained the certificate of contest noting that no contest had been filed and recommended the board approve signing the certificate. The board approved the certificate by voice vote.

The board also considered an updated winter coaching list. Reid said the list includes additional wrestling partners who are not coaches but will complete background checks, and that Lanny may take on a more active coaching role; the board approved the list.

In administrative reports, a board member said the PTO fundraiser exceeded expectations, estimating proceeds at "roughly 31,000 something." Facilities updates included recent planting of several maple varieties to replace removed ash trees; a facilities speaker reported metal work on the roof should finish soon and said he expected the roof to have no leaks going forward. Jeff told the board the auditor could not present this evening and the fiscal 2025 audit presentation, along with truth-in-taxation items, will be scheduled for the December meeting.

The board set its next regular meeting for Dec. 15 at 6:00 p.m. in the boardroom and adjourned by voice vote.

The meeting included routine motions and voice votes; no formal oppositions, abstentions, or roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
