The Robbinsdale Area School Board on Dec. 1 certified the district’s 2026 tax levy and approved several routine and financial items.

CFO Kristen Hoheisel recommended certification of a levy in the amount of $76,522,867.05 for taxes payable in 2026. Director Renee Bowman moved to certify the levy; Director Wuto seconded. A roll‑call vote recorded yes votes from Director Bassett, Director Bowman, Chair Evans Becker, Director Hillenbrand and Director Wuto; the board certified the levy.

The board also moved to accept donations totaling $29,474.13; Director Bowman moved and Director Hillenbrand seconded. A roll‑call vote recorded unanimous approval.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved its consent agenda — which included a language‑access plan, minutes, financial reports and personnel reports — by roll call after a motion from Director Bassett and a second from Director Hillenbrand.

What it means: Certifying the levy sets the district’s tax request for 2026 and allows final calculations and notices to proceed; the donations will be used for district programs as designated by donors. Administration said the items had been discussed in previous meetings and were being brought forward for formal action.
