Wayzata Public Schools Board Meeting - April, 20, 2026

The Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education work session was held October 26, 2026, according to the transcript; the supplied meeting title and metadata list different dates. The board recognized Meadowridge Elementary counselor Allison Frazier as Employee of the Month and heard a presentation on the school’s Marigold Buddy Program, which pairs students across grade levels to build belonging and peer connections. Administrators then presented 2025–26 student achievement data, including literacy, math, achievement gaps, and high-school graduation readiness. Board members discussed persistent disparities, instructional supports, family and community partnerships, and requested further information on postsecondary readiness and middle-school performance. Administrators said they would return with actionable steps in a later presentation.

Staff also provided background on a proposed responsible-use-of-AI policy, including possible approved tools, student access by age and under teacher supervision, privacy and security safeguards, and human accountability. The draft is expected to come before the board for a first reading at a future meeting; no policy approval or other spending-related vote occurred in this session. No contracts, vendor selections, bids, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.
