Approval of Probationary Teacher Non-Renewals
Moved by Director Morris [01:08:08] · Seconded by Director Anderson [01:08:14]
The Executive Director of Human Resources presented a list of eight probationary teachers recommended for non-renewal for the 2025-26 school year, citing standard statutory reasons. Board members expressed discomfort with publicly naming individuals for non-renewal without specific reasons, noting it's a state statute requirement.

Approval of Northeast Metro 916 Long-Term Facilities Maintenance Levy
Moved by Director Morris [01:19:35] · Seconded by Unknown [01:19:42]
The board considered the annual request to approve the Northeast Metro 916 long-term facilities maintenance levy. It was noted that 916, as an intermediate district, cannot levy directly, requiring member districts like Roseville to do so on its behalf. Roseville's share for the upcoming year is $46,265, a slight decrease from the previous year.

The Chair moved to close the regular meeting to enter a closed session for the purpose of evaluating the performance of Superintendent Jenny Lake, as permitted by Minnesota Statute. This is a procedural step before going into a private session.
