Good evening and thanks for coming to our school board. We appreciate it. Couple of updates for the board. One of the biggest things that we've been working on the past couple weeks and few months actually is bringing our new strategic plan, "Ready to Lead Community Rising Together" to life. The plan officially takes effect on July 1st. Um,
005if you remember, it was built with input from nearly uh 900 voices, including students, staff, parents, and community members, which is very exciting. Over the next several weeks, our leadership team, we actually met this afternoon as well to continue digging into the work and identifying action steps that'll help turn the document into a meaningful, living, breathing um opportunity for our students and for our community. As we wrapped up the school year, uh we celebrated our first year with all students together in our pre-K through 12 facility, even though it was just for a few short months. It's been exciting to see the connections built across the grade levels and the opportunities that come from having everyone under one roof. We're also really proud to celebrate the accomplishments of the class of 2026. Graduation season was
006filled with memorable moments, the first one here in the new facility. Um, there were also a lot of really great service projects from National Honor Society, the um enact activities, and then the Evening of Excellence and Commencement. And then, one of the highlights for me personally as superintendent was the Evening of Excellence and scholarship awards was happening in the commons and preschool graduation was happening in the gym. So, it was really cool to see our preschoolers graduate and then go across the hall and um listen to some of our seniors be recognized for their hard work. It's great way to recognize the full spectrum of GTW students. Uh even though the school year's ended, our work continues through community education and early childhood programming and uh um the spring summer youth play publication has a
007lot of educational enrichment child care opportunities and other recreation opportunities for our families to participate in the summer. As we continue to look ahead like other school district, we're monitoring the financial status of our district, and I'm going to go into that later tonight about the review and comment action item that you have before you, as well as the positive review and comment everybody was sent about the capital projects levy from the state of Minnesota. And then, as we close out this school year, I do want to personally thank the board. You were going through with listing out when you graduated high school for GFW and stuff. I have been here for 350 days. So, thank you for a great first year to the staff, and the community, and the board. It's been really great
008to be a part of this team. So, that is all I have for the updates. >> All elementary school and middle school high school. >> Good evening. It was a great end to the school year, especially in a very exciting school year. I mean, add with all of the um changes of being in the new building and coming together then um as a K-12 building. I was able to meet with all of the teachers and parents of the elementary for our end-of-year meetings, and the teachers all met their student learning goals, and we also met our elementary site goal. Our Firebird Pride team plans to meet in August to make plans for programming for our next school year. At the end of the year, um they decided for our end-of-year celebration to do a track
009and field day for the students. Um it was a little bit of a challenge cuz we had several rainy days, and we had to do a lot of scrambling and schedule changes changes to still make that happen. But in the end, it was a wonderful time for students who were able to participate in a variety of fun activities, games, and relays. And I was just grateful for the help of many staff members and for the flexibility that everyone showed due to the weather changes um that we had to make throughout that time. Summer school will be from July 20th to July 31st. Um students will be provided lunch and breakfast through the summer foods program. Uh, our focus will be on ELA, math, and social skills. Um, and I've had several teachers sign up to
010help with the program. Uh, I just completed submitting our local literacy plan to the state and it has been posted on our website. Um, we will move into phase two of our READ Act training requirements this year, which mainly involved um, READ Act required professional development for secondary teachers. Um, some of our elementary staff will continue on with their letters training, their second year of that training also this next school year. Um, Principal Jacobson and myself are attending Compass Institute in St. Paul over the next few days. I'm going to be presenting with Andrea Hanson about the mathematics instructional work that she did with our staff this past school year. Um, recently we both also attended a really informative Compass mathematics training about the new math standards uh, that will go into effect 2027-2028 school
011year and we're going to continue working with staff on that um, this coming school year. We did begin some of that work this last school year um, but we'll need to do some um, further unpacking of those standards as we discovered at the staff training that we attended. Um, summer activities, there were 34 students who participated in a two-week TCA Community Education sponsored camp. Four hired staff members worked with students to put on a production of Elephant and Piggie We Are in a Play. Uh, the performance was well attended and it was fun for everyone. That camp was free to all students who wish to participate thanks to a partnership between TCA and GFW Community Education and a grant that TCA received through Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council. Um, summer recreation starts tomorrow. Um, students
012in second through fifth grade will have a variety of rec games available to participate in on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on Wednesdays they have field trips scheduled. Uh, rehearsals for Frozen have begun. Uh, Derek Halgedahl is directing the musical with assistance from several of TCA's board members. Our rehearsals will go through the summer with with performances on July 30th through August 2nd. We're expecting a really big turnout for that production, a lot of families and and kids, so that should be a lot of fun. And that's all I have. >> Did you say the dates for the Frozen one one time? >> Um yeah, it's July 30th through August 2nd. And the tickets are going to be on sale starting July 1st. Um the um Tri-Community Arts website. >> Okay. Thank you. Yeah. >> Okay.
013So, the end of the school year was fairly busy for us, fast and furious, a little painful at times, um but we made it through. As always, but it's filled with many celebrations of our students' accomplishments. So, on May 15th and 16th, we hosted our 9 through 12 variety show for the community, showcasing the incredible music talents and performances of our students. On May 20th, we held our NHS induction ceremony and the Evening of Excellence. At the Evening of Excellence, many seniors were recognized for scholarships awarded through the local Dollars for Scholars program, as well as scholarships received from colleges, universities, and other organizations. The following week, we celebrated our students' achievements at the Letterman's banquet. Students were recognized for their accomplishments in athletics and fine arts, highlighting the well-rounded opportunities available here at GFW.
014This year, 44 students earned elite awards by receiving Minnesota State High School League letters in three or more athletic or fine arts activities. Three students earned eight letters during the 2025-2026 school year, and one student earned an impressive 10 letters. We also recognized numerous students for reaching championship milestones. Three individuals broke historical school records in basketball, track and field, and baseball. We also recognized an athlete who competed at the state wrestling tournament as well as our conference champions at the 4 by 1 meter relay team in track and field. In addition, [clears throat] three individuals were inducted into the GFW Hall of Fame. These accomplishments reflect the dedication, talent, and perseverance of our students and the many [clears throat] opportunities they have to excel inside and outside of the classroom here at GFW. We ended
015the year with our annual tradition of our friendly class kickball tournament, which continues to be a highlight for our students and staff alike. We did battle the weather at times, but um our day was a little nicer than your days. We also celebrated a successful graduation ceremony where we honored 49 outstanding seniors as they completed their journey here at GFW. At the conclusion of the school year, and now with all of our teachers, I'm proud to share that every teacher met their P-COM student learning goals and our site goal. Their commitment to student growth and continuous improvement continues to have positive impact on our school and students. In addition to secondary math teachers and myself, along with Principal Thompson, attended the Compass math training recently on the new math standards. This professional learning opportunity helped
016us deepen our understanding of Minnesota's new math standards and it allowed us to thoughtfully start preparing for the new standards implementation. This summer we will focus on filling our ELA and choir vacancies. I'm sure we continue providing the strong academic and extracurricular opportunities for our students. As we look ahead to the next school year, we are excited to build upon this year's successes and continue creating meaningful opportunities for all of our students to learn, grow, and thrive. >> Thank you. But the the last couple months have been impressive. >> All six months >> seems like in two weeks. >> You're a plan. Uh student council You don't have anybody here for student council, okay. River Bend reports, remember Bend? River Bend, they >> [clears throat] >> see the area learning center. There's a total of
01771 students. Uh 25 online and 46 students in person. There are 11 students graduating this semester and there's a waiting list of at least five students for next year. They're filled up and more. There's the credit recovery and target services uh program. A fairly large group of which is utilizing that to get out of the credits they're lacking for any type of graduation. The Imprints and Raptor section both had the fishing experience on June 1st. That's the area lake. I haven't heard any reports on it, but I assume it went well. Um There were a total of 25 graduates from River Bend school programs this year. And other board and business, we went through the adopted budget. We find that uh we're probably actually at 15% of unassigned fund balance. We should reach the 16%
018threshold. Presently, so that was good news. And probably the best news for everyone is the comprehensive review was minimal or nothing, which means that all the member districts had nothing to be concerned about, so that's pretty much all the news that's fit to print from River Bend. >> Thank you, Bend. >> Also, we didn't have anything FSLRP. You have any? >> Yeah, we did. Well, I guess I guess it's always about finances and um school buses, trying to make you know, meet budget. You know, I think we did some more budget cuts. Um all the the crazy mandates that our great Minnesota legislature throws at us that have we have to try to fund. So, that's kind of what we're all trying to figure everything out for the next school year. >> And then over
019the reviewing some of the other things that are on the docket for this month. >> All right. Committee of the Whole meeting, Jacob? >> Yep, we met tonight. Um we talked about our capital project letters. Uh received a timeline. Um more to come on that in the next couple of of weeks. Uh talked about the status of the auditorium and how that's coming along and then we talked about a lot about class size in future enrollment for GFW. What that looks like. Does anyone have any questions? Mark again? >> Oh, we just sat at our seats in the auditorium where we're all told we're debating for where the correct seats. Never ending. >> Go ahead. Good. I'd like to thank you for meeting. This is about Mary here. Can I actually propose something here really
020quick? So, right now we do have four committees that in a structure um where there's three members on each of them. Uh one of the things that's difficult is not a lot of policy changes can be in place later this time around. Um and then the executive committee has not really met um just based on not having any. However, as we go into election season, um things are going to get a little more like we need to communicate more regularly and we all need to be on the same page and make sure that we ask questions comfortably as well. So, I would actually like to propose we don't need to take action on this right now and not until our July board meeting when we would do it. Is merging policy and executive committee together.
021So, that would be George, Russ, Lynn, Ken, and then engagement and then at the LRP would be Amy, Mark, and Emily. So, that would give three board members and we've got two more committees that every board member is meeting regularly each month with the superintendent to discuss items and activities that are happening as we go through the election. So, I think that's a better way to keep everyone informed for any questions forward. And then of course continue our regular committee of the whole meetings as well as studies, public conversations with the full board and administration. So, that is what I would like to propose at the July meeting. I just wanted to kind of give you a sneak peek of what I'm thinking. >> You said the two main ones? >> Policy and executive, which
022would be George, Russ, Lynn, and Ken. And then engagement and then at the LRP would be Amy, Mark, and Emily. >> Yeah, it's a good thing to keep everybody informed and that's the best way to keep everybody, you know, up to date on what's going on. So, it kind of blends the board together in a way that's pretty cohesive and I think that would make it pretty well, too. >> Wouldn't it make more sense to put policy with LRP since policy and executive haven't really done meeting at all? >> Well, we would give we would give them more things to talk about all the way to the election. So, like the executive committee could really realistically with the charge of the executive committee of that conversation about everything happening under the umbrella. So, we could
023break it that way and push it that direction. >> I'm setting agenda so that it's effective. Is that the meeting going to be on our work session nights? >> It could be on either night. I can propose that to the Board of Education and what the structure would be. I'll do my best not to disrupt people's schedules. Are they going to be workable? All right. >> Um action items. Uh resolution to approve an uh identified official with authority. >> This is a standard resolution to appropriate an identified official with authority um through the Minnesota Department of Education. So, that gives you all access to the reports and security reports and the emails within charge of uh the district. So, I'll bring that forward. >> I'll make a motion to second to approve the resolution. >>
024I'll make a motion to approve the identified official with authority. >> I'll second that. All those in favor >> Please vote call. >> Roll over. >> I'll call the names tonight. I'll go over them. Emily >> Yes. >> George >> Yes. >> Mark >> Yes. >> Amy >> Yes. Ken >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Next action item, resolution calling for general election school board members. Yes. >> Pretty standard. We just call the election per the board. >> I'll make a motion for the resolution calling for the general election of school board members. >> I'll second. >> Roll call. >> Frias. >> Yes. >> Anglin. >> Yes. >> Hurlburt. >> Yes. >> Rostan. >> Yes. >> Aaron Quince. >> Actually, I'll receive the resolution establishing dates for filing affidavits of candidacy. >> Yeah, so this
025is the resolution that says from July 14th to July 28th at 5:00 p.m. Um, interested parties can file with the district office to run for school board. >> Is it 14th through the 20th? >> 14th through the 28th. >> Yeah. >> Moved. Suppose to be July. >> Yeah, July 14th through July 20th. >> And they marked it up two weeks because of the video primary. >> Yeah, the primary. >> And then they thought they don't want to file anymore. >> I have a first and second. >> I'll make a motion to approve the resolution establishing dates for filing affidavits of candidacy. >> Yeah. >> That would be >> filing affidavits of candidacy. >> I'll second. >> Roll call. >> Aaron. >> Yes. >> Rostan. >> Yes. >> Hurlburt. >> Yes. >> Anglin. >> Yes. >>
026Frias. >> Yes. >> Anglin. >> Um, that's item D. Next >> of polls, review and comment on the use of non-eighty-five education. >> Yeah, so I want to talk a little bit about what's happening with our district and related to elections even 30 people voted for this. Um, the first is we are looking um for four questions on the ballot. We'll start with the first two easiest ones. Number one is we just approved tonight by the school board. Um, and we'll still have a school board election ballot. The second question is a statewide constitutional amendment to the permanent school um fund. So, kind of a little bit of a overview of that. Um the proposal does not create any fund. It does not raise taxes. What happened was when Minnesota first became a territory back
027in 1870 or 1865, hopefully none of our history teachers are watching right now. Um the federal government gave land in exchange that um it would develop this permanent school fund. Now, the permanent school fund has grown from $675 million in 2010 to today it's more than $2.3 billion. And so, what the agreement was is that the money and the interest from that based on three-year average market value will be redistributed out to Minnesota schools. Now, what does that mean, right? That's let's put dollars and cents to that. So, the proposal that the state legislature is voting for is the right now we receive approximately $68.40 per student. The proposal to raise it up to $4.50 and $295.53 per student. So, all told it is an increase of funding to schools. It's not a lot of
028any increase to funding for schools, especially rural school districts. And metro areas that have, you know, 38,000 kids or so on and so forth, will see a very hefty increase in their funding. Um but versus one. That is a constitutional amendment. Um either every voter is going to have the opportunity to vote whether we raise it to 4.5% or not. A yes vote would make that amendment ratified it. Leaving it blank would be to count it as a no. So every school district in the state of Minnesota, whether we like it or not, is going to be to accept education and supplemental promotion of that. Um what the percentage is. So every district is going to be on the ballot supporting a percentage in some kind of capacity. Now the third and fourth question are
029a little bit more GFW specific and a little bit trickier here. So the first question that just received a positive review and comment from Minnesota Department of Education's Commissioner on Friday afternoon, um is our capital projects levy proposal. So why are we doing this? The first is that the first is that we're facing pressures from inflation, rising operating costs, costs, declining enrollment, and growing unfunded mandates from the state of Minnesota. For the past two fiscal years, we've reduced expenditures by $850,000. And yet, we still have needs in transportation, technology, and curriculum that we need to address. The capital projects levy is designed to increase revenue to a school district without needing to divert funds from classroom operations and supporting programs to pay for things like buses or Chromebooks or curriculum needs. So the first question
030that we submitted to the Department of Education was for a $400,000 annual capital projects levy for 10 years, which would raise approximately $4 million over the life of the levy. Now the state limits what the funding of those capital expenditures can be. So the one thing that's going to be a big misconception out there is that we cannot use those funds for teacher salaries, utilities, or operating expenses. What we list on the ballot in the proposed ballot question was for purchasing new buses and vans for new technology for students staff devices network infrastructure and software and curriculum and instructional materials. So those what the voters see on the ballot that is going to be exclusively listed that that's what we need to use that $400,000 for. It's a big difference from an operating levy where
031you know an operating level eight levy is what is that you know the district really has a lot of say over how we spend those funds and what we spend it on versus the capital project is this is what the voters approved and this is what the line is before them. So for a home with an estimated market value of $175,000 which is the average in our district would be about $22 per year or $2 per month. Um for agricultural homestead it would be a dollar per year per acre and then for non-homestead $2 per year. Now as a reminder homestead limit is still to the first 3.8 million dollars in value as well and when we looked at the four county map projections with our farmland we felt we were pretty confident in that
032we weren't going to exponentially increase the non-taxable agricultural value. So by the numbers when we talk about technology curriculum and transportation district technology costs each year is about $396,000. Every single one of our students whether we like it or not grades K-12 uses a Chromebook. Um and until the state tells us that we can't use technology in the classroom which it seems there's a lot of articles and there's a lot of positive studies about going backwards um we still need to plan on providing these devices to our students because it's educational needs and services that need to have. Um however we don't really have a strong replacement plan and if you know kindergarteners and first graders you give them a Chromebook it's not going to last very long. And so we need to have a
033plan in that we can continuously update our technology for them. The other piece of this is devices and network infrastructure require regular replacement upgrades. Everything in this building is new. Um but the life of this levy is for the next 10 years and technology is constantly changing. Part of this as well is that cybersecurity threats can be real for K-12 school districts. Um neighbors just to the north of us in Delano had to call a school because there was a cyber threat. About 60% of K-12 um schools have cyber threats every single year. We have multiple phishing attempts each year. Um I guess I'm personally I'm trying to get rid of a grand piano right now. If you click on the link, you can see pictures. Um we've also had issues where people are spoofing
034board members' emails that come saying check out these new policies and resolutions, but I don't know if this is exactly what I'm talking about or not. Um so investing in our technology helps keep us safe. With curriculum, um annually we spend about $180,000 annually on our curriculum subscriptions. What we really need to start looking at is a few years ago when the district received um COVID dollars, COVID relief funds, we spent about $532,000 in curriculum subscriptions. Also when for our local community, we bought we bought brand new curriculum one-time free dollars with these COVID dollars, but now we need a plan cuz over the next 2 to 3 years that curriculum is going to start to expire. And we need to keep it up to dated and make sure that we're providing our students with
035the most relevant information possible. Now, the curriculum that we purchased was literally every single subject. It was math, science, reading, um social studies, etc. So we need to start building a plan to continue to keep those subscriptions current. The other piece of that too is the minute a history textbook comes off the printing press, it's outdated. And so the online subscriptions allow us to continuously make sure that we've got most relevant curriculum at our fingertips. But, with that um curriculum providers, it's an online subscription. You don't pay your bill, they shut it off. And then that's it. It's lights out. Versus a textbook, I think when I was in high school, the textbook I was using was from 1992 and it just kept going, right? That doesn't exist anymore. Uh the third piece with this
036is that our transportation. So, annually our transportation costs about $722,000 annually over the last three year average. We've got a lot of buses that are more than 20 years old and are not passing Department of Transportation inspection. The average mileage of our bus fleet is over 160,000 miles as well. We have purchased two new buses um that are supposed to be delivered here in the next week or sometime this summer. Who knows when they're coming up from Alabama. Um but those replacement buses cost about $130,000 a year. You can't ignore our bus fleet breaking down. So, we need to find a way to get our our very kids here safely. We did a very, very intense and in-depth um study on transportation services. We went out to bid with private contractors and we found that
037switching to a private contracted service would cost us about 32% more annually than if we kept the fleet in-house. Uh there are other districts, I won't say their names during public board meeting, that have ripped up contracts and said it's cheaper for us to buy a brand new set of buses and start our own fleet thinking of moving to a contracted service as well. So, we're not the only ones alone trying to figure out how to navigate the transportation piece. Um So, that is the first question that received a positive review and comment um from the Minnesota Department of Education. It really focuses on those capital expenditures because right now we have to take them out of the our general operating funds, which is taking money outside of the total of the classroom in order
038to pay for things like vans and buses and Chromebook replacements. We want to keep our operating dollars in the classroom where they belong. Um, that continues to worry us to be quite honest. Does anyone have any questions on the capital project going? No? No. All right. So, the second question, which is the resolution to submit a review and comment. Um, this question is contingent on the capital projects levy passing. So, the district is looking at approximately $3.2 million in bond funding to demolish the old schools. Um, they no longer serve our instructional needs. We spend about $224,000 per year for both of the buildings in basic utilities. The question that I get asked a lot is why can't the district just shut them down? Well, we still need running water in the facilities for our
039fire suppression system. In order to have a fire suppression system, we need to make sure that we have electricity to operate it. In order for the fire suppression system to call out, we need to be able to make sure that our phone lines are still working. Um, we don't want to condemn the buildings because then our property liability insurance will skyrocket higher than it is as well. Um, so there's a lot of interconnected pieces with this. Now, the $3.2 million to take down both the buildings, um, includes demolition, asbestos abatement, and making sure that we're environmentally compliant, the utility disconnection, site restoration, and any other related project costs associated with that. For the average household in GFW, um, value of $175,000 again, this would raise it about $2 per month. So, identical to the capital
040projects levy. Now, what's nice with this one though is that it's a bond. Um, so the state school picks up 55% that cost her $1.7 million to the overall project. Meaning that, um, homestead would be 33 cents per year per acre and non-homestead would be 66 cents per year per acre. So, we have an opportunity here to seize the A-10 school credit or something better to have into it. Um, there's no indication. They talk about it every year, but no one ever says we're getting rid of the A-10 school credit. Um, but now's kind of a good opportunity to put down a ballot and see what our community's engagement is, whether they vote their way or whether they want to take that on. I don't know. Um, I think this is the cheapest the library
041yet at this point. I mean, prices are going up, so now we got to seize this opportunity to move forward. >> And you brief I touched on two things with the A-10 school credit. If we do the bond through it, it doesn't just go away. It stays with the bond. >> With the life of the bond for 10 years. >> Yes. For 10 years, right? >> 10 years, yes. Yeah. >> That's important. >> Yeah, absolutely. So, both questions are for 10 years. Um, great question. Very much, absolutely. >> So, when you were talking about 51% of the project, that's how much the A-10 school credit covers. That isn't the percentage for the A-10 school, just to be clear. >> It would pick up 55% of the overall 3.2. >> Right. But the A-10 school credit
042was 70%. Right. It just ends up being 55% of the overall >> Yeah. Correct. Yeah. >> That amount is just so that we clarify that. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> So, that it hasn't changed. It hasn't gone down. >> Good Yeah, good question. Yeah. Yeah. >> And we spent a lot of time looking at repurposing these buildings. And if you look at neighboring schools that have been shut down, it doesn't work. They usually stand up an empty building, trashed, people living in them. It just doesn't look like a good fit. So, this taking them down is like the best long-term solution. >> Another piece I talked about is potentially you know, piece of fair land would be better than something that building. Well, not only because we're responsible for the asbestos. No matter what. So, if
043you sell the building, we have to take care of the asbestos anyway. >> So, we So, what this brings back to is tonight's resolution is what Glenn and I have been working on. The review and comments we won't have It needs to be submitted by July 6th.
