Loading...
Summary
The ISD 622 board approved routine items including the consent agenda, accepted $18,444 in donor contributions, ratified a two-year principals’ agreement with salary increases, authorized travel to the NSBA conference, and scheduled a Nov. 11 canvass meeting.
The North St. Paul–Maplewood–Oakdale (ISD 622) school board completed several formal actions during the special meeting.
Agenda and consent: The board opened the meeting, adopted the agenda by motion and voice vote, and approved the consent agenda (items A–H) without pull requests.
Donations: The director of finance presented a resolution accepting multiple donor gifts that included $1,900 from Evans Transportation Services to North High’s BSU activities, various school-supply donations, and monetary gifts; the board accepted the contributions, which the finance presenter said totaled $18,444 for fiscal year 2025–26.
Principals’ contract: The board ratified a tentative two-year principals’ master agreement covering 07/01/2025–06/30/2027; the contract terms reported in the meeting include a year-1 wage increase of 2.75% and a year-2 increase of 3% and the presenter said the membership ratified the agreement before bringing it to the board for approval.
Travel and scheduling: The board approved out-of-state travel under policy for several board members (named in the resolution as Caleb Anderson, Nancy Livingston, Charlotte Natardi, Katie Swore and Kita Yang) to attend the NSBA annual conference in April 2026. The board also approved a Nov. 11, 2025 work-study session in Conference Room 202 and set Nov. 11 at 6 p.m. in the boardroom as the canvass date for election returns (citing the statutory requirement to canvass between the third and tenth day after the election).
Votes: All actions reported in the transcript passed by voice vote as taken in the meeting; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public audio but motions, movers and seconders were read into the record for each item.
Why it matters: These votes finalize routine governance and human-resources matters that allow operations and programming to continue without delay and set the calendar for election canvassing and board professional development.
Provenance: Motion and vote text appears in the meeting minutes and transcript for each item (agenda approval, consent agenda, donations acceptance, principals’ agreement, travel authorization, and meeting scheduling).
