001No one. >> It is 6:33 and I'm going to call a business meeting of the St. Louis Park School Board um to order. Um before we get started, I will read the land acknowledgement. We are gathered on the land of the Dakota and Ojiway peoples. I ask you to join me in acknowledging the Dakota and Ojiway community, their elders, both past and present, as well as future generations. St. Louis Park Public Schools recognizes um St. Also acknowledges that it was founded upon exclusions and erasers of many indigenous peoples, including those on whose land the school district is located. This acknowledgement demonstrates a commitment to dismantling the ongoing legacies of colonial power and the district's desire to support the ongoing work of local indigenous communities to thrive in our schools. Um, next thing on the agenda
002is approval of the agenda with the items that we have, we have just two items, some action items. These are carryover things from last year that we need to take care of um before we welcome our new board members to the to the board here. So, um, uh, there's, uh, minutes, uh, that we need to approve and a resolution authorizing issue of certificates of elections. So, it is recommended that the school board approve the agenda for January 13, 2026 as presented. Do I have a motion to do so? >> So, moved by Celia. Do I have a second? >> Second. Um, by Virginia. Then, uh, any discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Passes 5-0. Okay. Okay, the first item, it is recommended that the school board approve the minutes for November
00312th, 2025 as presented. Those minutes are in board book and uh hopefully you've had a chance to take a look at that. Do I have a motion to approve those minutes? >> Moved by Taylor.
