Summary

At its May 18 meeting, the Spring Lake Park Public Schools board adopted several formal resolutions and recorded roll-call votes.
Termination and nonrenewal of probationary contracts: The board passed a resolution to terminate the teaching contracts of listed probationary teachers at the close of the 2025-26 school year, citing state statute as the authority in the resolution text (transcript cites "Minnesota statute 122A.40"). Superintendent Rodenberg told the board that most of the teachers named are expected to return and that only four are not returning; the clerk recorded a 7-0 affirmative vote on the resolution.
Northeast Metro 9/16 long-term facility maintenance budget: The board approved a resolution consenting to the intermediate district's long-term facility maintenance program budget for 2027-28 and agreed to include Spring Lake Park Schools' proportionate share. Amy Schultz summarized how intermediate district shares are calculated (25% based on net tax capacity, 75% on enrollment) and said Spring Lake Park's share is $36,890; the motion passed on a 7-0 roll call.
Acknowledgement of gifts and scholarships: The board adopted a resolution to accept gifts under board policy "7 0 6" and Minnesota law (transcript cites "4 65 dot 0 3"). The administration noted scholarships awarded during the awards night and the board approved acceptance on a 7-0 vote.
Other formal business: The consent agenda (minutes, March bills of $4,028,616 and personnel items) was approved earlier in the meeting. The meeting concluded after board reports and a motion to adjourn, which carried by voice vote.
