The plan allocates approximately $1.14 million in A&I funding, with at least 80% dedicated to direct student services and the remaining funds supporting professional development and administrative costs. Administrators reviewed the three-year Achievement and Integration Plan for 2026-2029, developed with input from district advisory groups, the American Indian Parent Advisory Committee (AIPAC), and a multidistrict collaboration council that includes St. Paul Public Schools and South St. Paul Public Schools. Major initiatives supported through the plan include Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) programming, Parent Academy, cultural liaison services, translation and interpreting support, magnet school programming, and culturally responsive professional development. The plan establishes measurable goals to increase academic achievement for students of color, promote inclusive school environments where students respect diverse identities and backgrounds, and expand access to teachers trained in culturally responsive practices. It was moved by Ms. Steele and seconded by Mr. Aune to approve the Achievement and Integration (A&I) Budget and Plan as presented. Aye: Tim Aune, Sarah Larsen, Morgan Steele, Jon Vaupel, Randi Walz Nay: none The motion carried (5-0) ## Wellness Committee Update Members of the Wellness Committee presented an update from the group highlighting ongoing efforts to support student and staff health through nutrition, physical activity, and wellness initiatives. District leaders reviewed the Local School Wellness Policy requirements, including the federally mandated triennial assessment currently underway and the next policy review scheduled for June 2026. The presentation also highlighted partnerships and grants supporting wellness efforts, including funding for ADA playground equipment, locally sourced food in school meals, bike infrastructure improvements, and dental health programs. Child Nutrition updates included the addition of new menu items, vegetarian options, and continued compliance with USDA Smart Snack guidelines. Staff also shared examples of school-based wellness activities across the district, such as Bike- and Walk-to-School events, Girls on the Run, staff wellness challenges, and mental health presentations. Looking ahead, the district plans to focus on meeting upcoming federal nutrition standards, expanding ADA access to outdoor physical activity, increasing biking opportunities, and strengthening student health initiatives such as vaping prevention and dental health engagement. ## First Reading of Policy 722, Public Data Requests Sara Blair, Director of Communications, presented a first reading of Policy 722, Public Data Requests, which outlines the district’s procedures for responding to requests for public data in accordance with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. District administration reported that the policy was reviewed and continues to align with current district processes and procedures. Updates based on the Minnesota School Boards Association model policy include the addition of Section IV.C, minor language revisions, and the inclusion of a resources section. The policy establishes guidelines for submitting written requests for public data, outlines how the district will respond to requests, and clarifies responsibilities related to the handling and protection of government data. It also identifies the superintendent as the responsible authority for data practices and describes procedures for individuals requesting access to data about themselves. Given no substantive changes were recommended, the policy will return to the Board for a second reading on the consent agenda. Approval of 2025-2027 Agreement between School District 197 and Classified Management Group Tye Michaels, Director of Human Resources, presented the 2025-2027 agreement between School District 197 and the Classified Management Unit, which represents approximately 30 employees in middle-level management positions requiring supervisory and confidential responsibilities. The agreement is intended to support the district’s ability to attract and retain qualified management staff. The proposed contract includes salary increases of 1.25% in the first year and 1.75% in the second year, along with updates to health insurance benefits effective July 1, 2026, including adjustments to copays, deductibles, and prescription rates. The district contribution toward insurance remains at 95% for single coverage and 80% for single-plus-one and family coverage. Additional changes include a $700 increase to the TSA contribution and an increase in the performance incentive cap from $2,500 to $3,500, along with minor language updates. It was moved by Ms. Steele and seconded by Ms. Walz to approve the 2025-2027 Agreement between School District 197 and Classified Management Group as presented. Aye: Tim Aune, Sarah Larsen, Morgan Steele, Jon Vaupel, Randi Walz Nay: none The motion carried (5-0) ## Approval of School Board Goals Cadence and Timing Jon Vaupel, School Board Vice-Chair/Clerk, presented a recommendation from the Planning Committee regarding the timing and cadence of the Board’s annual goal-setting process. The Board had transitioned in 2022 from a school-year goal cycle to a calendar-year cycle to allow newly elected members to approve goals they would help implement. After several years of experience with the revised approach, the Planning Committee reported that completing one set of goals while simultaneously drafting the next, during the start of the legislative session and other governance responsibilities, has made the process less practical. The committee noted that the previous school-year model allowed time during the summer for reflection and development of new goals, better aligning with the district’s operational rhythm. The committee recommended returning to a school-year goal-setting cycle beginning with the 2026-27 school year, including a brief pause in the goal-setting process between the end of the current calendar-year goals in 2025 and the launch of the new cycle. It was moved by Mr. Aune and seconded by Ms. Steele to approve the School Board Goals Cadence and Timing as presented. Aye: Tim Aune, Sarah Larsen, Morgan Steele, Jon Vaupel, Randi Walz Nay: none The motion carried (5-0) ## Adjournment It was moved by Ms. Steele and seconded by Mr. Aune to adjourn the meeting at 6:09 p.m. Aye: Tim Aune, Sarah Larsen, Morgan Steele, Jon Vaupel, Randi Walz Nay: none The motion carried (5-0) The next regularly scheduled School Board meeting of Independent School District 197 will be Monday, April 6, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. It will be held at the City of Mendota Heights Council Chambers, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, MN.

The school district will charge for copies provided as follows: a. One hundred (100) or fewer pages of black and white, letter or legal sized paper copies will be charged at twenty-five (25) cents for a one-sided copy or fifty (50) cents for a two-sided copy. b.

(1) The actual cost of making copies includes employee time, the cost of the materials onto which the data is copied (paper, CD, DVD, etc.), and mailing costs (if any). (2) Also, if the school district does not have the capacity to make the copies, e.g., photographs, the actual cost paid by the school district to an outside vendor will be charged. 2. All charges must be paid for in cash or by check in advance of receiving the copies. ## B. Summary Data 722 - 9 1. Any costs incurred in the preparation of summary data shall be paid by the requestor prior to preparing or supplying the summary data. 2.

For more information about GTAC, contact: ## Miles Lawson ## Secondary Curriculum Coordinator 651-403-7025 miles.lawson@isd197.org ## TO: School Board Members ## FROM: Peter Olson-Skog, Superintendent DATE: April 6, 2026 SUBJECT: Financial Outlook and Potential Capital Project Levy ## BACKGROUND As part of the district’s ongoing financial planning, the School Board previously approved budget parameters that include approximately $2.5 million in reductions for the 2026-27 school year. These reductions are currently being developed and implemented by the administration and represent permanent changes to better align ongoing expenditures with ongoing revenue. These actions are part of a broader, multi-year effort to address a structural gap between revenue and expenditures. In general terms, district revenues are projected to grow at approximately 1% annually, while expenditures are projected to grow closer to 3%. This creates an ongoing gap that must be addressed through a combination of reductions and other strategies. The Board may recall recent legislation tying a portion of school funding to inflation and reasonably question why overall revenue growth remains limited. There are several factors that help explain this: ● The inflationary adjustment applies only to a portion of district revenue, while projections reflect total revenue. ● The adjustment is capped at 3%, even in years when inflation exceeds that level. ● Other revenue sources are declining. For example, Special Education Transportation is no longer fully reimbursed by the state, requiring increasing contributions from the general fund. ● Additional proposed reductions to Special Education funding beginning in 2027-28 could further reduce revenue. ● At the same time, key cost drivers, such as health insurance, continue to increase at rates that exceed general inflation. Together, these factors contribute to the structural imbalance between revenue and expenditures. ## CURRENT FINANCIAL CONTEXT The district has taken a phased and responsible approach to managing this challenge over time: ## Advocacy at the State Level The district continues to work with legislators to improve school funding, including efforts to address the special education cross-subsidy, limit unfunded mandates, and advocate for sustainable funding structures. ## Use of Fund Balance Prior to and during the COVID period, the district utilized its fund balance to help maintain stability for students and staff. At that time, the fund balance was in the double-digit range as a percentage of expenditures. ## Decline in Fund Balance As financial pressures persisted, the district’s unassigned fund balance declined to approximately 2% by the end of the 2024-25 school year. This is well below the School Board’s policy target of 8%. ## Initial Corrections During the current school year (2025-26), the district implemented reductions designed to begin addressing the structural gap while minimizing direct impact on the classroom experience. These actions are expected to result in modest improvement to the fund balance. Approved Reductions for 2026-27 The additional $2.5 million in reductions for 2026-27 will further stabilize the district’s financial position and continue progress toward rebuilding the fund balance. ## WHAT THE CURRENT PLAN ACCOMPLISHES The reductions already underway and planned represent meaningful and necessary steps: ● They are permanent changes to the district’s cost structure ● They reduce the rate at which expenditures outpace revenue ● They allow the district to begin rebuilding its fund balance toward the Board’s 8% target Based on current projections, these actions are expected to increase the district’s unassigned fund balance from approximately 2% to approximately 5% by the end of the 2026-27 school year. This represents meaningful progress, but not full alignment with Board policy. ## ONGOING STRUCTURAL CHALLENGE While these steps are significant, they do not fully resolve the underlying structural issue. Even after implementing $2.5 million in reductions: ● The gap between revenue and expenditures is reduced in the short term ● Over time, expenditures continue to grow faster than revenue ● The structural gap re-emerges in future years due to long-term structural flaws in the way the state has funded public education As a result, the district’s ability to continue rebuilding its fund balance beyond the projected 5% level is limited without additional action. Using current projections: ● Additional reductions of approximately 1-2% per year would be required to maintain the fund balance at its projected level ● Further reductions beyond that would be necessary to continue progress toward the Board’s 8% target ## LOOKING AHEAD: COMMUNITY DIRECTION AND ADDITIONAL OPTIONS Given this context, the administration is beginning to explore additional strategies to address the ongoing structural gap while maintaining financial stability. One option available under Minnesota law is a capital project levy (Minnesota Statutes 123B.63 and 126C.10, Subd. 14). With voter approval, this type of levy allows districts to fund certain allowable expenses outside of the general fund. Examples of eligible expenses include: ● Textbooks and instructional materials ● Classroom supplies and paper ● Equipment and furnishings ● Certain building-related and operational costs Shifting these costs from the general fund to a voter-approved levy can: ● Reduce pressure on the general fund ● Slow the need for future reductions ● Support more stable long-term financial planning ● Support maintaining or rebuilding the fund balance to the board-specified level It is important to note that the primary purpose of a capital project levy would not be to expand programs or add services. Rather, it would allow the district to fund existing costs in a different way, helping to manage ongoing financial pressure. ## ROLE OF THE SCHOOL BOARD AND COMMUNITY At its core, this is a question of community direction. The district will continue to: ● Operate within its means ● Make responsible, ongoing adjustments to expenditures ● Work toward rebuilding its fund balance in alignment with Board policy At the same time, the Board may consider whether to ask voters if they wish to: ● Provide additional revenue to reduce the size of future reductions, or ● Continue on the current path, which would require additional reductions in the years ahead Today’s discussion is intended to introduce this context. The administration is not recommending any action at this time, nor has sufficient information been presented for the Board to do so. In addition, required processes, including a Review and Comment process, must occur before any formal action could be taken. The administration will return later this spring or summer with more detailed information regarding a potential capital project levy, including scope, timing, and impact. At that time, the Board will determine whether to take action to seek community input through a referendum. ## UPCOMING TIMELINE The administration will continue to provide updated financial information in the coming months: ● May: ○ Annual audit (2024-25 fiscal year close) ○ Updated multi-year projections and revised budget for the current year ● June: Proposed 2026-27 budget aligned with Board parameters Additional information regarding a potential capital project levy would be brought forward in coordination with these updates and any required state review processes. ## SUMMARY ● The district is implementing $2.5 million in permanent reductions ● These actions improve the financial position but do not eliminate the structural gap ● The district is working to rebuild its fund balance toward the Board’s 8% target ● Without additional revenue, further reductions will be required in future years ● A capital project levy represents one state-authorized option to reduce the size of those future reductions ● The Board will determine whether to seek community direction through a future referendum ## RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION No resolution is needed at this time. ## BOARD PRESENTATION — APRIL 2026 ## Financial Outlook and Future Planning School District 197 | A working session to review the district's financial position, understand the structural challenges ahead, and begin an informed conversation about the path forward. This session is informational. No action is requested today. ## Purpose of Today's Discussion Today's presentation is designed to give board members and administrators a clear picture of where the district stands financially — and what choices lie ahead. There are four goals for this session: 1 ## Financial Update Provide a current, grounded update on the district's financial outlook and position. 2 ## Actions Underway Review the reductions and structural changes already approved and in progress. 3 ## Future Options Introduce potential options the district may consider to address the ongoing structural gap. 4 ## Early Conversation Begin a thoughtful dialogue — this is an early conversation. No decisions are needed today. ## Current Direction from the Board The board has already taken meaningful action. This work is underway and reflects a clear commitment to aligning the district's costs with available revenue. $2.5 Million in Reductions The board has approved $2.5 million in budget reductions for the 2026-27 school year. ## Permanent and Ongoing These are not one-time cuts. They represent lasting changes to the district's cost structure. ## Align Costs with ## Revenue The central goal is ensuring that expenditures do not continue to outpace what the district receives in revenue. ## Rebuild Fund Balance The district is working toward an 8% fund balance, in line with board policy and sound fiscal practice. ## A Continuing Structural Gap Even with reductions in place, the district faces a persistent structural challenge: the cost of operating schools grows faster than the revenue available to fund them. ## Revenue Growth ~1% Annual growth in state and local revenue. Increases are modest, capped by formula, and partially offset by declining revenue sources. ## Expenditure ## Growth ~3% Annual growth in operating costs — driven by compensation, benefits, and other non-discretionary expenses. This consistently outpaces revenue. The gap between these two rates compounds over time. Reductions slow the growth of expenditures, but do not eliminate this underlying imbalance. ## Why Revenue Growth Remains Limited Understanding why revenue is not keeping pace with costs is essential context for the board. Several factors constrain what the district can expect to receive. ## Partial Inflationary ## Adjustment The state's inflationary adjustment applies only to a portion of the district's overall revenue — not the full funding base. Growth Cap of 3% The inflationary increase (again, only applied to a portion of the budget) is capped at 3% — meaning revenue can never fully match years of higher cost growth. ## Some Revenue Sources Are ## Declining Other revenue streams are not growing — and in some cases are decreasing — adding further pressure (e.g. Special Education ## Transportation) ## Special Education Funding at Risk Proposed future reductions in state special education funding could reduce the district’s revenue even lower than current projections. ## Key Costs Outpace Inflation Expenses such as health insurance premiums grow at rates that consistently exceed general inflation — and far exceed revenue growth. ## Fund Balance Over Time The district's fund balance — its financial reserve — has declined significantly in recent years. Rebuilding it is a board priority, and the current reduction plan supports progress toward that goal. ## Pre-COVID Double-digit fund balance — a healthy reserve that provided financial flexibility and cushion against uncertainty. 2024-25 Approximately 2% — significantly below the board's policy target, reflecting years of structural imbalance. 2026-27 (Projected) Approximately 5% with the approved reductions in place — meaningful progress, but still short of the target. ## Board Policy Target 8% — the goal established by board policy as the standard for responsible financial reserves. We are rebuilding — but we are not there yet. Reaching 8% will require sustained discipline beyond the current reduction cycle. ## Impact of Current Reductions The $2.5 million in approved reductions represent real, lasting progress. It is important for the board to understand what this work accomplishes. ## Permanent Changes to Cost Structure These are not deferrals or one-time savings. The approved reductions permanently reshape how the district spends — reducing the baseline going forward. ## Slows Expenditure Growth The reductions help the district slow the rate at which expenditures outpace revenue. ## Supports Fund Balance ## Recovery The reductions directly contribute to the district's ability to rebuild its reserve toward the 8% board policy target. ## Represents Meaningful ## Progress This is significant, difficult work — and it is already underway. The district is not waiting to act. ## Ongoing Challenge Remains Being transparent about the limits of the current plan is just as important as recognizing its strengths. The approved reductions are necessary — but they are not sufficient on their own. ## Structural Gap Persists While reduction allow for progress in rebuilding the fund balance, we project the structural gap to return in 2027-28 and beyond. ## Expenditures Continue to Outpace Revenue Even after permanent reductions are applied, ongoing cost drivers mean expenditures will continue to grow faster than available revenue in future years. ## Gap Re-Emerges Over Time Without additional action, the structural gap re-emerges in future years due to long-term structural flaws in the way the state has funded public education — requiring further reductions in subsequent budget cycles. ## Limits Progress Toward 8% ## Target Reaching and sustaining the board's 8% fund balance target will be difficult as long as the structural gap remains unaddressed. ## Looking Ahead The board should have a clear picture of what the coming years are likely to require, even under a stable scenario. This is not a crisis — but it does call for continued, intentional planning. 1 ## Sustained Annual Discipline Maintaining the district's current financial position will require approximately an additional 1–2% in annual reductions beginning in 2027-28, simply to keep pace with the structural gap. 2 ## Additional Reductions for Fund Balance Reaching the 8% fund balance target will require reductions beyond those needed just to hold position — an additional layer of fiscal effort over time. 3 ## Ongoing Multi-Year Planning The district will need to maintain a multi-year financial planning horizon, identifying reduction strategies well in advance of each budget cycle. ## STATE-AUTHORIZED ## OPTION ## Capital Project ## Levy Minnesota law authorizes school districts to use a Capital Project Levy to fund certain existing operational costs outside of the general fund. This is not a new tool — it is an established mechanism used by most districts in the state. ## Legal Authority Authorized under Minnesota statute. The levy funds specific categories of existing costs — it does not create new programs or expand services. It would require three major steps 1) Review and Comment process. 2) Formal board vote 3) Community ## Vote ## Eligible Cost ## Categories •Textbooks and instructional materials •Classroom supplies and paper •Equipment and furnishings •Some building-related costs These are costs the district already incurs — the levy changes how they are funded, not whether they exist. ## Potential Impact of a Capital Project Levy It is important to understand both what this option can accomplish and what it cannot. The board should consider it as one tool among several — not a complete solution. ## What It Helps With •Reduces pressure on the general fund by shifting eligible costs to a separate levy fund •Helps reduce the size and frequency of future general fund reductions •Supports more stable, predictable multi-year financial planning •Provides a more sustainable funding model for certain recurring costs ## What It Does Not Do •Does not eliminate the structural gap between revenue and expenditure growth •Does not entirely remove the need for continued fiscal discipline and future reductions •Does not add new programs or expand the scope of district services •Does not guarantee reaching the 8% fund balance without other actions ## What This Is — and Is Not Because a levy involves the community, clarity about intent and scope is essential. The following distinction should anchor any future public conversation. This Is NOT... ●About adding new programs or expanding district services beyond what currently exists. ●An ask for more resources to do more things. This IS... ●About funding existing costs differently — moving eligible expenses out of the general fund using a state-authorized mechanism. ●A tool intended to manage long-term structural financial pressure in a responsible, transparent way. The distinction matters: this is about sustainability, not expansion. The district is committed to living within its means regardless of what the community decides. Role of the ## Community Ultimately, some of the choices ahead belong to the broader community — not just the board or administration. The district will be transparent about the tradeoffs so that any community conversation is well-informed. This is a question of community direction. The district will continue to live within its means. Reductions will continue as needed. The question is whether the community wishes to reduce the depth of future cuts through additional investment — or to continue on the current path. ## Path A: Current ## Course Continue annual reductions as needed to maintain alignment between revenue and expenditures. Progress toward 8% will be slower but steady. ## Path B: Additional Investment The community may be asked to consider a levy that reduces the size of future cuts by funding certain existing costs through a separate, state-authorized mechanism. ## Upcoming Timeline The district is following a deliberate, well-sequenced process. Board members and the community will have multiple opportunities to engage with the information before any decisions are made. 1 April 2026 Continued financial planning -Review key assumptions and next steps as the district prepares for the coming budget cycle. 2 May 2026 ## Audit completion (close FY25). Updated multi-year projections and current year budget incorporating audit results. 3 June 2026 Proposed 2026–27 budget presented for board review and approval. 4 ## Late Spring / Summer Potential levy recommendation, if applicable — followed by the required public Review and Comment process. ## Summary Today's session covered a lot of ground. Here are the key points the board should carry forward from this conversation. 01 ## $2.5M in Permanent Reductions Underway Approved reductions are in progress and represent real, lasting changes to the district's cost structure. 02 ## Financial Position Is Improving The fund balance is projected to reach ~5% by 2026-27 — meaningful progress, though the board's 8% target has not yet been reached. 03 ## The Structural Gap Remains Revenue grows at ~1% annually while costs grow at ~3%. Current reductions slow the gap but do not close it. 04 ## Additional Reductions Will Be Needed Approximately 1–2% in annual reductions will be required to maintain the district's position over time. 05 ## A Levy Is One Option A Capital Project Levy — state-authorized and focused on existing costs — is one potential tool to reduce the size of future cuts. 06 ## More Information to Come Audit results, updated projections, and a proposed budget will all be presented in the coming months. No decisions are required today.
