# SPS School Board Business Meeting   10.5.26


**Body:** Shakopee Public Schools

The Shakopee Public Schools regular business meeting, called as the October 5, 2026 meeting, recognized students and staff and heard program updates. Procurement and facilities-related discussion included a bond sale for approved facility-maintenance and tax-abatement projects, including roofing and parking-lot work. Morgan Stanley was identified as the best bidder at a 4.49% interest cost for a 15-year bond; the transcript does not provide the principal amount, and a possible refinancing was not included because it was not favorable. The board considered a ratifying resolution, though the final vote on that item is not clearly captured in the transcript. Donations approved included 400 processor motherboards from Minnesota State Engineering; the district also reported that donated YMCA furniture and supplies saved its new Saber Connection program about $12,000.

The board approved Plan A and a related memorandum of understanding for the early-learning program changes, which staff estimated could have a positive budget impact of more than $4 million as the program grows. It also approved an agreement renewal for Valleyfair and Superior Shores to support the ninth-grade academy. Other votes included approval of the consent agenda, donations, and the meeting agenda. No specific purchase amount or paid contract value was stated for the Valleyfair agreement.
