Waconia presenters recommend keeping three PreK–5 elementary schools

Presenters for the district’s elementary configuration study recommended that Waconia Public Schools retain the existing model of three PreK–5 elementary schools.

The recommendation was presented on June 8, 2026, during the ISD 110 school board work session. Study presenters listed in the meeting record included Brian Gersich, Erika Nesvig, Pam Carman, Keith Baune, Paul Tordoff, Ann Swanson and Shane Clausen. The transcript records the recommendation as: "Recommendation is to remain with the current model of three PreK-5 elementary schools." The segment does not record a formal board vote on that recommendation during the work session.

The presentation was recorded as a study conclusion in the work session packet; the transcript does not include supporting numerical metrics or the specific criteria the presenters used to reach the recommendation. The board did not record a motion or formal action on the recommendation in the provided segments.

Presenters named above led the discussion and delivered the recommendation to the board. The study's materials and any detailed enrollment, capacity or cost figures referenced by presenters were not transcribed in the posted segments and therefore are not summarized here.

No next-step motion or date for final board action on the configuration was recorded in the transcript segments provided.
