“To be a school where every student knows
belonging and self-discovery through the
learning we do together”
2025-26 Goals
1.Through collaboration with K2A teams and departments, we will focus on...
a.Implementing Catalyst guidelines
b.Planning requirements for Core 4
c.School-wide literacy shifts- vocab, marking up text, written response to
learning/to show learning
## 1.Strengthening the Reporting Out of Essential Standards
a.Aligning gradebooks
b.Learning progression for each essential standard written
c.Using Core 4 with students
d.Semester “grades” using formula
1.Revisiting the Importance of Educational Equity/Importance of Understanding
## Race, Culture, Identity
a.Interpersonal work
## Goal Area #1: K2A Teams are Highly Valued
●High Collaborative Value: K2A teams are overwhelmingly perceived as beneficial and
supportive. 95.5% of teachers agree that the time spent in K2A meetings has been
beneficial, and 95.5% feel comfortable collaborating and solving problems with their team.
The average self-reported attendance score for these meetings is 8.05 out of 10.
●Positive Instructional Impact: 86.4% of teachers agree that K2A conversations are positively
impacting their instructional practice. Qualitative feedback highlights key successes such as
building deep collegial trust, collaborating across content areas, and developing practical
scaffolds and accommodations for Multilingual Learners (ML) and Catalyst implementation.
●Frustration with Documentation: The most consistent piece of feedback for improvement is
the complexity of the administrative process. Multiple teachers noted that the K2A
workbook and "note-catcher" were confusing and felt like unnecessary steps. Simplifying
these tools and providing clearer, more focused direction for weekly meetings are the top
recommendations for next year.
Goal Area #2 High Adoption of Proficiency-Based Grading Mechanics with a Gap in Student
## Ownership
●Strong Mechanical Alignment: Teachers have widely adopted the structural elements of
standards-based grading. In the survey, 100% of teachers agree or strongly agree that they
consistently use essential standards when entering grades, and 95% have at least three or
four essential standards outlined in Skyward. Additionally, 94.7% agree that their
assessments are highly aligned to these standards.
●The Student Ownership Disconnect: Despite strong teacher-side implementation, there is a
clear drop-off when it comes to student familiarity and ownership. Only 60% of teachers
agree that their students are familiar with learning progressions/rubrics, and only 40%
believe their students can accurately share where they are in their learning. This indicates a
critical opportunity to shift focus from teacher compliance to student-facing communication
and self-assessment strategies.
●Curriculum Upload Gaps: While 84.2% of teachers have uploaded an instructional plan to the
SAMS EI folder, only 65% have uploaded at least four unit plans. This suggests that curriculum
documentation is still a work in progress for about a third of the staff.
Goal Area #3: Need for Professional Development in Educational Equity
## and Classroom Management
●There is a significant need for support in handling sensitive issues. 81.8% of teachers
do not feel fully equipped to address student reports when they witness or
experience issues related to race, culture, or identity (with 50% stating they need
more practice/resources and 31.8% feeling unsure at times).
●When asked about future professional development, the top request is "Creating
culturally responsive curriculum/lessons" (10 votes), followed closely by "Using
Panorama data effectively" (9 votes) and "Analyzing behavior and academic data
through an equity lens" (9 votes).
●For classroom management and student engagement, there is a massive interest in
the new module "NEW! Keep them in the Room" (14 votes), which focuses on
supporting marginalized, misrepresented, or misunderstood students.

## The Unison Proposal
InfraUS Wireless I, LLC ("Unison") — a wireless lease aggregator
## What the District Transfers
•Current T-Mobile lease rights — T-
Mobile pays Unison, not the district
•A 40-year easement over the
rooftop antenna area
•Exclusive right to negotiate future
antenna leases at this site
•The growing annual income stream
(~$38,020/year at 4%)
## What the District Receives
$740,000
one-time lump sum at closing
•Eliminates T-Mobile early termination risk
•No further lease negotiation burden on
district
•50% of revenue from new telco contracts
## The Financial Case
$740,000 today vs. projected T-Mobile payments through October 2036
If we keep the lease
~$475,237
~10 yrs of payments, 2026–2036
Risk of early cancellation
Unison lump sum
$740,000
Paid at closing
+56% vs. remaining stream
Premium: +$264,763 (+56%)
## Budget Assumptions
## Current:
● $38,020 Rental Revenue into the General Fund (Increase 4% per year)
## Proposal:
● Full Liquidity / Predictability- Lump sum of $740,000
● Time Value of Money - Interest Revenue vs Rental Revenue
## ● One Time Purchases
## ● Termination Risk
## The 40-Year Easement — Key Terms
What the board is agreeing to beyond the purchase price
40-Year Term
Easement runs 40 years from closing (~through 2066). The district
cannot terminate it except as required by MN law. Unison can
surrender at any time with 30 days' notice.
## 3-Year Inactivity Clause
If Unison and its customers voluntarily stop using the site for more
than 3 consecutive years, the easement automatically ends —
protecting the district from indefinite lock-in.
## Exclusivity
The district may not grant wireless rights to any other party
except through Unison. Any unauthorized agreement is void
from the start.
## Right of First Refusal
Unison has 30 days to match any offer if the district ever sells
or transfers an interest in the property. This encumbrance
runs with the land.
## Board Health & Safety Right
If the Board determines a new carrier Unison brings in poses
health or safety risks to students or staff, the district can
require termination — with 1 year written notice.
## New Revenue
ISD 282 entitled to 50% of new telco contracts
Considerations for the Board
## Arguments For
•$740K today vs. ~$475K over 10 years
— 56% more, available immediately
•Capital can be directed to any district
priority the board chooses
•Eliminates T-Mobile early termination
risk
•Unison handles all future lease
negotiations
•3-year inactivity clause prevents
indefinite lock-in
## Questions to Consider
•40 years binds future boards through
approximately 2066
•District loses direct control over wireless
use of the roof
•Any T-Mobile renewal after 2036 would
go to Unison, not the district
•How will the District use the resource
## Action Required
Three items for legal counsel and the administrative team to resolve before July.
Continuation of lease payments vs. Buyout for long-term
## How to capitalize Buyout Funds
OK with opportunity costs
Questions?
Thank you!
## MEMORANDUM
## To: School Board
## From: Dr. Renee Corneille/Wendy Webster
## RE: Census/Population numbers for Community Education Funding
______________________________________________________________________________
## BACKGROUND:
According to Minnesota Statutes § 275.14, the population of a school district must be certified
by the Department of Education from the most recent federal census. In any year in which no
federal census is taken, a population estimate may be made and submitted to the state
demographer for approval. The school board can pass a resolution by June 30, 2026, of the
updated population of the district as determined by the state demographer.
According to estimates from the state demographer, the district population increased from 11,033
in 2024 to 11,772 in 2025. This population increase will impact the revenue the community
education programs receive based on the current funding calculation, which uses the district
population to determine total funding.
## Increased Revenue by Program Area
## General Comm Ed - Census Increase x $6.35
## Youth Service - Census Increase x $1
## Adults With Disabilities - Census Increase x $.34
## Youth After-School Enrichment - Census Increase x $1.85
(1) $1.85 times the greater of 1,335 or the population of the district, as defined in section 275.14,
not to exceed 10,000; and
(2) $0.43 times the population of the district, as defined in section 275.14, in excess of 10,000.
Youth after-school enrichment revenue must be reserved for youth after-school enrichment
programs.
