Northland Pines board approves 2024–25 goals, flags operating referendum
Summary
The Northland Pines School District board approved the district's annual goals for 2024— 25, emphasizing student growth in reading and math and noting an operating referendum that yields about $4.6 million expires at year's end.
The Board of Education approved its 2024— 25 annual goals at a regular meeting after a motion from the chair and a second from a board member. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.
A staff member told the board the goals rest on four pillars — "Teaching and learning, human resources, families and community, and facilities and operations" — and emphasized that the district has added a growth component to its academic targets so that students at every achievement level show measurable improvement. The staff member said the math goals mirror the approach taken for English language arts.
Board members also heard a reminder that the district's current operating referendum, which brings roughly $4,600,000 a year, will expire at the end of the calendar year. The staff member said the finance committee has been working for months on options to replace, match or reduce that funding and that the board will need to decide timing and amounts in the coming months.
The chair made the motion to approve the goals and a board member seconded; after brief discussion the motion carried. The board will publish action plans and supporting data ahead of the district's annual meeting and continue work on referendum planning.
