Board approves Burnsville High School course catalog and concurrent-enrollment agreement with Metro State
Summary
The ISD 191 board approved the 2026–27 Burnsville High School course catalog, including new offerings such as personal finance and unified PE, and authorized a concurrent-enrollment contract with Metropolitan State that can provide up to seven college credits on the high school campus.
The ISD 191 Board of Education approved the Burnsville High School course catalog for the 2026–27 school year and a concurrent-enrollment contract with Metropolitan State University.
Assistant Superintendent Chris Belmont presented the catalog, highlighting adjustments to course offerings and new classes such as personal finance and a unified physical education option for juniors and seniors. Belmont said the catalog presentation had previously been introduced at the Dec. 11 board meeting and sought formal board approval.
Belmont also recommended approval of a concurrent enrollment agreement with Metropolitan State (through the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system). The contract, described as supporting EDU 203 pathway students, allows eligible students on the Burnsville High School campus to earn concurrent college credits with Metro State oversight; Belmont said students can earn up to seven concurrent credits through the courses cited. The board approved both items by voice vote, with authorization for the superintendent to execute the concurrent enrollment agreement.
No substantive discussion or objections were recorded in the meeting minutes for either vote.
