The Edina Public Schools Board approved five policies and received updates on extensive summer construction projects during its regular meeting Monday evening.

The board approved policies 113, 414, 415, 533, and 806 without discussion, as the measures had been reviewed at the previous month's meeting. Policy Chair Alenberg noted no changes had been made since the July discussion.

Director of Finance and Operations Mert Woodard presented updates on more than 16 construction projects across the district, funded through the long-term facilities maintenance revenue plan. The largest project continues at Edina High School, where a three-year, $25 million mechanical upgrade is replacing steam heating systems with hot water systems and updating air handling units. The project also includes renovations to the Fick Auditorium with new flooring, electrical systems, lighting and sound equipment.

At Cornelia Elementary, crews are conducting exterior brick tuckpointing and renovating restrooms that date to the building's 1959 construction. The project includes four student restrooms, three staff restrooms and Americans with Disabilities Act improvements. New sinks for student restrooms are delayed and will be installed after school begins.

Other major projects include tennis court rehabilitation at the Edina Community Center, turf repairs at Normandale Elementary, and electrical infrastructure installation at the transportation center to support two new electric buses expected to arrive in December or January. The board also welcomed four new administrators and unveiled the renamed Early Learning and Family Center, formerly the Early Learning Center.
