Thank you. Good evening, Chair Buns Becker, board members, community members. Um, one of the most important things that we do in Robbinsdale Area Schools is to hire amazing staff for all of our schools in all of our departments and at the leadership level. Um, that is how we continue to be the best that we can be is with our staff. So, tonight I'd like to introduce two new leaders. Uh, I want to be sure that board members have a chance to meet and that they get a chance just to say hello to our community.

We're grateful that you're with us tonight. And if you would just like to say a few words of of welcome, feel free. Awesome. Um, thank you all. And, um, I'm excited to be here, especially at this time in Robbinsdale Area School's history. I come to Robbinsdale after spending nearly 20 years with the Hudson School District as the director of communications. So, I'm I'm excited to be on board and um support all the work that uh the board and staff are doing. >> Thank you. Welcome. >> Welcome. >> Excited to be here as well. Super excited. um had been here started last Monday and just the open arms welcoming from the staff at Cooper and uh staff here at Robbinsdale has just been really awesome and uh feel like a family uh environment right now and I want to continue that and continue the great work that's happening at uh Robbinsdale. >> Well, thank you.

And Dr. Stala >> here. >> Thank you. >> Excellent. All right. First thing up on our agenda is approval of our agenda. Is there a move to approve our agenda? >> So moved. >> Moved by Director >> Brenten and seconded by Director Wuto. And since we do not have someone online, we don't have to have a roll call vote on this. So all in favor of approving the agenda, please say I. >> I. >> And oppose say no. We have an agenda. Okay. Wonderful. Moving along. Um the next thing up is the consent agenda. Items on the consent agenda are routine in nature and enacted with a single motion unless a board member wants something removed from the consent agenda and then we would vote on that separately. So items on tonight's consent agenda are uh the monthly professional development report meeting minutes by monthly dispersements for J July business office monthly contract report community education monthly contract report dispersements for June and the monthly budget to actual and then the personnel reports for licensed and non-licensed. Is there a move to approve the consent agenda? >> Moved by director Bowman. Is there >> seconded? >> Seconded by director Wau. And this is a roll call vote. So I see no discussion. And let's take the roll call vote on the consent agenda. >> Yes, of course. Who seconded the motion? >> WH. >> WO. Okay. Thank you. All right. Director Wuto, >> yes. >> Director Long, >> no. >> Director Hillbrand. >> Yes. >> D uh Chair Evans Becker. >> Yes. >> Director Brennan, >> yes. Director Bowman marks yes and director Basset at this point is absent. >> Okay. So, we have approved the consent agenda and we're going to move on to number five, unfinished business. And this unfinishness easy for me to say uh is the district system of continuous improvement recommendations. Superintendent Stall. >> Excellent. Thank you very much. Um la at our last meeting I had a chance uh following the data presentation to share both the process of decision making in terms of how we establish uh district priorities in Robbinsdale Area schools as well as the recommendation for our work next year. Um I've received no follow-up questions. So tonight I'm requesting that the board approve these recommendations. >> Okay. Do I have a motion to approve these recommendations? So >> moved. >> Moved by Director Helenbrand. I'll second >> seconded by director Bowman. Director Long. >> Yeah, I just have just a follow-up question for clarification just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. So, with each of these themes, there's a committee assigned to them and then the committee will kind of sus out how they feel these goals should be measurable um so that we can have some measurable outcomes on whether or not we've managed to meet these themes. >> Yeah. close. So again, this is a relatively new system. So the way that it worked last year, really close within each of the strategic themes. There's a couple like it was there's a couple bullets under each one. So last year, the way we operated is each of those bullet areas had a charter, had a team around them. um they [clears throat] as they were working and researching, collecting data, making decisions about um how we were doing either implementing something, creating a system, something like that. They did work to create those measures as part of the district scorecard. What came forward then are recommendations for the next step of work. In almost every case, it's continued work. the one change that we're making this year. So I think last year we had 10 maybe at least 10 um of those priority result charter teams that came in front of the board and shared progress, shared data as part of your role in the management of operations, the oversight of operations. Um, so this year what we're trying to do better is to link that district strategic work with our school improvement plans as well as our district improvement plans. So there may not be a team. Um, there will be work being done around each of those bullets. There may not be a specific team around each one. Um, there likely will, but I think the charter work might look a little different. I don't totally have that improvement figured out yet, but um bottom line, you will see progress of work and we'll align to those metrics that were established. >> And so how frequently will we see like updates in the different themes? >> Um well, we'll see they'll come around uh throughout the year. They'll each present once and then the cadence that we're trying to look at um when Erica and Becky presented last week was could we get a cadence of four times a year for sure three times a year that they come forward with um the data and progress and results. Some of the work has interim data. So if you look at some of the fast uh bridge data with literacy, there is screening in the fall, mid-year data in the winter and then endofear data. Um the same thing with discipline referrals. We could say where are we at midyear, where are we at the end of the year. Not all of not all of the metrics have that midyear, but the places that we do will provide that to the board. And so since we're using SIP data, which is the school improvement plans, then will there be schools that will be coming then to present some of that information? >> Um, I don't know. We haven't talked about that at this point. I know that um we've always made sure that our school improvement plans are on the website. This year, we're really trying to more tightly align those to similar metrics. Um Bob, are you looking at me because you have a statement to make? Nope. Um but that will be part of right if all of the if all of the elementary schools are using as part of their um progress monitoring I'm using fast data again right because we get that screening data we get that midyear if they're all using it we'll be able to again see how we're doing as a district and then those schools will focus on how they're doing um as a building so I don't know we'll probably have school leaders I don't know if we'll have leaders for each specific school. >> Okay. >> And oh, DJ, >> just one question. So, uh, good questions, director Long. The the question, the followup would be it'd be really cool to just get a timeline document that kind of set, not that we're going to be like, oh, you missed it by five. You know what I mean, but just to say generally here, you know, each of these themes our goal is blah blah blah blah. We're actually I'm sorry for interrupting you. We're actually working on that timeline right now. Becky and Erica and I have a meeting uh not this week but next week to look at what's the cadence of the data that comes forward. And then I think with that we can hopefully by this um by you know early of as a start of the school year look at when will it make sense for each of those charter teams to come forward. So, we want it to be a more predictable cadence with data for the school board and community. >> Awesome. Look forward to seeing it. >> Okay. True Confessions. I was so interested in the presentation. We haven't had a motion on this yet, have we? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That was Hillen Brand. That was a Hillenbrand and >> was a second. >> Print. >> Okay. Got it. Thank you. >> Waited to ask questions. >> I I was waiting too. [laughter] >> Yes. Oh, I screamed. Good. Okay. [snorts] >> There were two seconds. I remember now. It's all coming back to me. All right. >> All right. Seeing no more hands up, it is time to vote on the recommendations for the strategic priority work. And we don't need a roll call vote on this. So, all in favor, please say I. >> I. >> I. Oppose. Say no. All right. It's on its way. Now, action item B is the ballot language for the resolution calling for the special election for building bonds and CFO Hisel, your name is next. >> Great. Thank you. Uh, good evening, Chair Evans Becker, Superintendent Stalo, uh, school board directors. When we had our last schoolboard meeting, what was left as please follow up were two questions or two two requests. The first was to look into is it still a possibility to alter our review and comment to make question three contingent upon question one and question two. Uh the response that I received from the department of education was yes, we could do that. So that then moved us into please develop um a ballot language and a resolution that reflects the same. So what is in front of you tonight is two options. The first is the original which is exactly as it was discussed at the last schoolboard meeting where question two is only contingent upon question one and question three is only contingent upon question the passage of question one. Then there is an alternate version where it is where question two is contingent upon the passage of question one and then question three is contingent upon the passage of question one and question two. Tonight it is uh the request that the school board approve one of these. You cannot approve both. [snorts] >> Makes sense. All right. Do I have a move to approve one of these? I'm move approval >> of the second one or the alternate one >> of the alternate one. >> Okay. Is there a second on that? >> I'll second. >> Okay. Moved by Bowman, seconded by Hillenbrand. Okay. Um I would support that. Anybody? I don't see any hands up. >> Just to clarify, can you just go over what exactly it is? >> Yes. Yes, >> because it's voting on if one passes then two and I'll let you do the rest. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. So, this is the alternate proposal that was just described that we were questioning about at the last meeting. It's like, oh, I thought it was going to be vote on number one. If one passes, then you can if one passes, you can have number two pass, but you can't vote on number three unless number one also passes and number one and two. So you need all you need one and two in order to have three passs and you need one in order to have two pass cuz two is very contingent on one. You can't just pay those extra $2 a month and get anything done. You have to have go to the one high school and the work being done. So this is a resolution and a resolution requires a roll call vote. So, I see no more. Oh, >> the only comment I So, I was thinking about this. Um, I I'm not really married to either one. My the at the end of the day, I think whichever one we pick is fine. I do think the alternate might be easier to explain to people. They each build on top of each other. Um, I think it does make the messaging might be a little easier, but other than that, >> thank you. >> All right. and director. >> So with the alternate also though does that mean that to approve all three the cost to the taxpayers is going to be greater? Correct. >> Correct. >> Yes. And that is stated right in the ballot language. Okay. >> All right. Let's have a roll call vote. >> All right. Chair Evans Becker. I vote yes. >> Director Brennesen, >> yes. >> Director Bowman marks herself as yes. Director Hillbrand, >> yes. >> Director Long, >> no. >> Director Wuto, >> yes. >> And Director Basset is marked absent. Motion prevails. >> All right, you have direction. Thank you. All right, then we're going to move on to new business and this is the review of the resolution relating to the election of schoolboard members and the calling of the school district general election. Molly, good evening. This is the resolution that will call the election of the school board um candidates for the general election on November 3rd. It is the same as we normally do for these kind of um resolutions. So just need you to look through it and make sure that it's okay for it. >> Okay. So are you expecting us to vote on this in the at the next meeting >> that way unless you feel it's okay then you >> to me thank you. To me it's routine. We've already opened up the candidates are signing up to run for office. To me, I would be totally fine with us passing this tonight. But how do other Okay, let let's have a motion to >> I move approval of uh >> of the resolution relating to the election of school board members and calling of the school district general election. >> And let's wave the reading on that. >> Yes. And I wave the reading. >> Okay. >> Second. >> Seconded by Director Wuto. I don't see your hands up. Let's do a roll call vote. It's a resolution. >> Sounds great. Uh, Director Long, >> yes. >> Director Wu, >> yes. >> Director Hillbrand, >> yes. >> Director Brennesen, >> yes. >> Chair Evans Becker, >> yes. >> Director Bowman marks herself as a yes. And Director Basset is absent. >> All right. >> Motion prevails. >> Excellent. All right. [clears throat] We are having a general election in November. Uh the building bond referendum campaign communication. This is important information for us to understand and for the community to understand what is can be said. Excellent. So um we'll ask Tracy to come up and uh present with me on this and we'll get the presentation up. Now that the board has made uh the very important decision about calling a special election for the building bond referendum, our attention now will move from planning for this possibility to doing our obligation to our community, which is ensuring that our community is aware, has the information that they need um in order to vote in the way that they will vote. But our job is to make sure that the district has uh communicate communicates facts about the ballot questions um to the community. So in preparation of tonight uh obviously we've been working on what that communication will look like and we wanted to share some of those important components of the plan um with you. So as you see on the slide, the first thing I'd like to point out uh is the logo. um as we were working on different logos and this often becomes kind of the the tagline that you see in any kind of referendum campaign. Um, this logo and this design draws from the robust community engagement in which we've been engaged formally since November of 2024 when we began the reimagine Ardale work received input throughout that process of what our families, staff, students and community want for our students. We heard about the schools. We heard about opportunities and the experience that our students want, need, and deserve into now and into the future. Um, as I talked about uh last week with the whole notion of continuous improvement, what we talked about is right how do we assess our current reality which is something the board has been doing for the last two years um so that we know best about how to move forward into our desired state. This logo brings together the reimagine work with our bold identity of the R for Robbinsdale and the notion that this referendum is really about building better together. While the bond supports building better facilities, we also have the opportunity through this to build a better student experience, support student staff, and ultimately build a school district, a better school district together with our community should they support this referendum. I'll let Tracy talk about the communication objectives. >> District's communication objectives and the the engagement tactics. Uh before I start, I really want to extend uh thank you to the communications team, Derek Williams and Claire Little, who have done an amazing job to get me up to speed on all things communication within Robbinsdale. Our communication objectives outlined here will focus on reaching the wide range of stakeholders who live and learn in the district. Our communications will be centered on factual information with the expectation that we are clear and transparent. The communications objectives start with the why. Information will include the why behind the bond referendum and why now. We will outline the overall priorities within each referendum question. We will explain the district's need for financial s sustainability and at the same time a desire to invest in programs and learning spaces that support student success and provide educators with flexible classrooms that transition easily between collaborative projects, large group instruction, and small groupoup interventions. This includes examples of what these types of spaces look like in other school districts. We will share information on the financial and tax impact of the approved referendum questions with a tax calculator on the website in the near future. We also know there will be questions about what happens if the bond referendum doesn't pass or individual questions don't pass. Here we can give examples of potential scenarios um understanding ultimately that the board will make those decisions at some point in the future. A series of frequently asked questions will also help us respond to what we have already heard from the community and allow us to address any misinformation that pops up along the way. Next slide is our engagement tactics. Engagement tactics are the how. How do we ensure that our stakeholders have the information they need to make an informed decision on November 3rd? We anticipate having a portion of our website committed to the bond referendum information that covers all the topics that I described previously. We are planning on district mailers that will go to every residents in the district. The first mailer will be the community ed brochure that's coming out soon followed by the back to school newsletter and additional mailings that will take place in midepptember and at least two in October. We will be working with building administrators and community partners to have kiosks with displays and handouts um available to the public. It is our goal to have an active presence in local media. We have started planning presentations to staff, families, municipalities, and other community groups to help spread the word and answer questions. We want to go where the people congregate. We will have a team of district and school administrators and staff will be a available to speak about the referendum and ask questions. It will be a busy fall. The only thing that I would add to that piece is um like we did with the 2024 capital projects levy renewal. Um we had site teams at each school and those site teams made up of administrators, staff, um parents, hopefully some students. their job was to think about their own school um and think about how are the best ways that we can educate our community. So perhaps there are some events that they'll want to make sure people from the site team are there for. Each building um as Tracy said, we'll have some kind of kiosk or table in the office, but the the site team will help with what's the best way that our families, our students, um our immediate community are um communicated with. So, the next thing that I just want to briefly go over um are the the roles and responsibilities of the board. And some of these are very similar to what the community is as well. Um but in addition to some of the dos and don'ts for staff and board members to understand during a referendum campaign, we want to highlight um some other important roles and responsibilities of board members in calling for a special election for a building bond request. Um, and actually in your folders tonight, um, uh, during the board retreat, we have more information about those dos and don't don'ts for both staff members and board members. And yes, this presentation will be up on the website after the meeting. Obviously, we didn't want to put it up before the meeting because the vote hadn't yet been taken. So, it will be put up. Um, so we need uh want to be sure that part of your role is to be in form information ambassadors. We have a lot of information um for you to use as you talk with community members. Um you'll be able to get them to the website. You'll be able to um help and make sure that they receive the information and maybe even think about some of the places in the community that we want to have some information out. Um uh the role of the board is to be connectors. Um, we've begun to build a calendar as Tracy said. Uh, our first presentation I think is next Tuesday night at the study session with the city of Plymouth and we will continue to build out that calendar um so that we can provide information. Again, that is our responsibility as a district to provide that education and information. Um, so about the why, the what, and the impact of the referendum. Should it pass or should it not? Um it would be very helpful board members uh to get your ideas and suggestions um and access into some places that um I may not have we may not have. So as we make the calendar please make sure that you're adding ideas or or providing to me ideas of of where it would be good for us to be to present. And then board members will also have the opportunity once we get this calendar going to sign up um and come with us to some of those meetings. And uh that's a common practice in district is that a board member um or two comes along uh and is part of are part of those presentations as well. It'll be important that the board helps uh create feedback loops. Um what are you hearing? Let us know what you're hearing. Let us know what questions um come. When questions come to us, we're able to do a better job communicating. Um, I know we got an email from a community member a couple weeks ago and um just had some questions about how we we're communicating. I got a chance to meet with her last week and she had some great ideas that are going to help us. So, as we hear the questions, we know what we need to do a better job with. Um, and then lastly, it'll be really important uh as board members are engaged in conversations um and with our community that you're able to reinforce the facts. And again, that's the job of the district is to have a factual campaign where we educate our community. Um, so we will have a lot of materials again for you to carry with you or have at your ready um in order to help support this. So that's really what we have right now. Um, we will have a website uh that will be ready hopefully by midweek. Again, it starts as a bit of a skeleton and it'll grow as the campaign grows. Additionally, um we'll have a press release that will be ready uh to go out tomorrow. So, we're happy to answer any questions. We might not have the answers yet, but we're happy to answer the question, hear your questions. [clears throat] And you said at the retreat we will get more information about dos and do not. >> Yeah. um both from MSBA. They have a document um and it kind of lays out what staff role uh board role um are. And then we also have created again similar to what we did in November of 2024. We've also created a document with that same information that's branded by us. So, we'll take a look at that. >> Thank you. And thank you, Tracy. >> Thank you. >> Questions from board members? The only one I have I think I asked this before, maybe I didn't, but so we had the Robbinsdale roundup that came out like a month ago now. >> Um, at some point in time, someone said it was going to be like a regular >> What is this? What What is the cadence of that? Do we know the cadence of that? I mean, it was >> I think traditionally it's been twice a year. >> Okay. >> Am I correct on that, Tracy? I could be wrong. >> Correct. So, we'll be doing that's part of the the back to school and then um really the next mailer that would come out after that would be more specific just to the referendum. >> Um I think that right the sequence non-referendum year referendum year we're going to be communicating a whole lot which we always should do but I think non-referendum year too we want to figure out what's the best cadence um of that. Um, we also there's a been a barrier to that because I have heard a few people and maybe you have too say that they did not get those. So again, the way the postal service works now is that or some people got two and some got none. We no longer the way the bulk mailing works is we no longer put individual um addresses on things, but we are kind of at the mercy of our postal service to make sure that these get in every mailbox. So, we're going to have to also solve for that and figure out how to do a better job. Maybe one of the things that I don't think we've done to date is have some of those in businesses at libraries, just places where people congregate just to make sure that that they have access to them. So, interesting evidence. You've gotten two and you got none. Will you give one to DJ? >> I got one. >> No, I'm not. >> No, I'm not sharing with you. [laughter] one was addressed to me and the other one was addressed to residents. So, >> so we'll keep learning about that as well because because again the goal with that um Ardale roundup was that every member of our community got a chance to learn um about what's been happening um so that they will now have more information as we go into this phase of the work. When I was at Golden Valley Pride, it was surprising the number of people who had read it because it had just come out like that week and they were commenting on what they had read and so that was really good that people were reading it and it did have great information. Anybody else? We're good. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Let's see. Oh, we're moving on to action item C. A resolution accepting donations. I think there's a little over $1,000 worth of donations this time. Um, does anyone want to move to approve those donations? >> Accept those. >> Director Brendesen, move to accept the donation. Seconded by Director Bowman. >> Thirded. >> I have a question. >> Oh, yes. >> Yeah. Um, so I'm just wondering about the C1 is there isn't a dollar amount there. So, we're just just the items is good enough. We don't need a Okay. >> Okay. Was a donation. So, all right. Has to do with money. Let's have a roll call vote. >> Thank you. [clears throat] Thank you. Director Brennan, >> yes. >> Chair Evans Becker, >> yes. >> Renee, Director Bowman Marks, yes for herself. Director Hillbrand, >> yes. >> Director Long, >> yes. >> Director Wuto, >> yes. >> And director Basset is marked absent. Motion. Motion prevails. >> All right, moving right along. Uh, we have a small change in the schoolboard calendar coming up for next year. I think it's like May 17th >> because of ID. And so we just have to move to accept the change. >> So move. >> Moved by Director Brenten, seconded by Director Bowman. >> All in favor, please say I. I. >> Oppose, say no. >> Okay, calendar has changed. That was easy. policy. We don't have any tonight, right? >> No policy. >> Okay. Administrative reports. Excellent. Thank you. And again, good evening, chair of Inspector Schoolboard directors, those of you in the ESC, and those of you in the viewing uh public at Robbinsdale Area Schools. Our mission is to inspire and educate all learners to develop their unique potential and to positively contribute to their community. Our collective work is focused on this mission. And tonight I would like to share some of the work in which we have been engaged in the strategic priority theme of academic achievement. I'm proud to share that four graduates from Robbinsdale Area Schools class of 2026 Madison Vermin Terrace Fitten Landon Kamu from Armstrong and Jasmine Tulleska from Cooper all were selected as Ardale Grow your own scholarship. Whoops. Sorry, I just lost my place. Scholarship award recipients. These students were chosen based on their commitment to education, academic readiness, and positive contributions to their school communities and recommendations from their teachers and mentors. They will receive full or partial tuition support up to $25,000 to attend college in pursuit of a career in education. The scholarship is part of Robbinsdale's Grow Your Own program supported through the Minnesota Department of Education. This program helps develop the next generation of educators by supporting local students and community members who aspire to teach with a focus on building a diverse workforce that reflects the students and communities they serve. I can't wait to see the immense positive impact these graduates will have on their future classrooms and schools. In the strategic theme of student engagement and wellness, on Wednesday, July 15th, our students and staff at Freedom School held at Northport Elementary this year, took part in the 2026 National Day of Social Action, which had a theme of are the children well? centered on the critical importance of children's mental health and wellness. Students did meaningful activities designed to encourage reflection, build awareness, and inspire advocacy around supporting the mental health well-being of young people. They concluded the day with a short neighborhood march to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and wellness in our communities. It was an honor to join them as they held signs that they had made and shared their voices in chants and cheers. It was very hot and the students did an absolutely fantastic way job of maintaining their energy as did the staff. On Thursday last week, I had the honor of reading during Harami at Freedom School. I shared the book, What Do You Do With an Idea by Kobe Yamada, which is one of my favorite books to share with students as it encourages them to continue thinking of and growing their own ideas. The students also ask thoughtful questions about supporting ideas and how ideas can change the world. Harambe which means all pull together in Swuahili is a tremendously energizing daily opening activity during which our students sing, dance, cheer, and get excited and ready for a day of learning. On July 9th, I was able to catch up with the third through fifth grade students in Adventure Club at Fair School, Pilgrim Lane, and C during their field trip to the Minnesota Twins game. It uh in its role as part of our summer programming, Adventure Club serves students entering kindergarten through fifth grade at four different sites where they take one or two field trips each to local museums, zoos, theater performances, parks, and pools. We have fantastic staff who lead these programs with curriculum designed to enhance learning, encourage students to make choices, practice decision-making skills, and build positive peer relationships. In the strategic theme of collaboration and partnerships, it was a pleasure to represent Ardale with fellow staff and chair Evans Becker at the annual Robinsdale Whisbang Parade on July 12th. Though it was hot, it was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate with the community. Uh in September, we're looking forward to participating in the Golden Valley Festival and Robinsdale uh Main Street meet and greet. So, we will get those dates out to board members um as soon as possible. I know we I just saw the Robbinsdale Main Street uh event meet and greet is September 14th. Um so, we'll get that information to you. That is what I have this evening. Thank you very much. >> Super. Thank you. Sadly, we have future events and it's time to adjourn the meeting. >> Move approval. >> Moved move to adjourn by director Bowman. >> Seconded. >> Seconded by Director Brenesen. All in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Opposed. We are adjourned. So, the next thing that's going to happen, we're we'll take like a 10-minut break and then we are going into board retreat. It is not a board work session. It is a board retreat. It is not livereamed. It is not um it's it's just a board work time for for the board. So that's it. Thanks everybody. We're done.
