The school board approved the sale of $1.995 million in bonds for a parking lot addition at Minnetonka High School and another $1.995 million for a second student drop-off and pickup driveway at Scenic Heights Elementary School. Both bond sales were completed in July at favorable interest rates—4.79% for the high school project and 5.04% for the elementary school project—despite some market volatility. "The bonds were sold very quickly," said Mr. Bourgeois, noting the high school bonds sold out between 8:30 and 11 a.m. on July 8. Preliminary work including demolition and soil testing is already underway at both sites.

In a separate unanimous vote, the board approved new and updated curriculum materials for the 2026-27 school year, including revised social studies textbooks and a new Spanish immersion program called "Adelante" for kindergarten through fifth grade. Director of Academic Programs Aleida Kane presented the materials, which had been available for public review.

The district also announced significant changes to its technology policies. New guidelines emphasize "intentional use" of devices, reduced screen time, and a "print and hands-on first" approach, particularly for younger students. Devices will remain at school for elementary grades rather than going home with students. The policy changes were informed by research, parent feedback, and board goals, with staff professional development and family communication planned as part of the rollout.

Additionally, the board approved the sale of surplus technology equipment—2,180 iPads and 55 MacBooks—to Tech Reboot for $276,940. The district rotates its technology on a three-year lease-purchase cycle, and proceeds from the sale will be reinvested in the capital projects fund. Superintendent Law also announced that school will start Tuesday, September 1, before Labor Day, and highlighted upcoming groundbreaking ceremonies for facility upgrades at the district's two middle schools.
