Summary
The White Bear Lake Area School Board accepted $21,778.75 in teaching and art grants from the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation and approved a tentative three-year custodial agreement with Operating Engineers Local 70. Both actions passed by roll call.
The White Bear Lake Area School Board approved two operational items following the levy vote: acceptance of teaching and art grants from the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation totaling $21,778.75, and approval of a tentative collective bargaining agreement covering custodial staff with International Union of Operating Engineers Local 70 for fiscal years 2025–2027.
Superintendent Dr. Kaye presented the grants, explaining that the Foundation reviewed proposals with administration to confirm curriculum alignment and technology consistency; the packet listed 10 brochure teaching grants and 6 Ryan Art grants totaling $21,778.75. The board moved and approved acceptance by roll call.
District labor representative Mr. Mons asked the board to approve the tentative custodial agreement, describing a collaborative bargaining process. Board members voted by roll call to approve the tentative agreement; the district noted additional collectively bargained agreements remain pending.
Both items were recorded as approved by roll call with no recorded dissents in the transcript.
