Edina Public Schools regular school board meeting, November 9, 2026. The board discussed a potential safety, security, facilities, and technology bond referendum, with administration preparing materials for consideration at the December 7 meeting. The proposed package includes previously discussed projects and possible additional seating at Coleman Stadium; the transcript cites the seating cost as approximately $2 million, while a board member later refers to roughly $2.7 million. Staff said the addition would address seating demand and improve access and security. No bond or project award was approved at this meeting. Board members discussed the need for clearer documentation and community transparency, and administration agreed to include information in the December materials. The board also reviewed polling-place options for a possible May election: maintaining existing precincts or consolidating to four locations, with estimated savings of about $23,000 for consolidation. No direction was given; staff will present both options in December.

The administration previewed proposed FY2027 budget revisions for December, including a $700,000 increase to special education revenue, a $700,000 increase in assumed capital-notes proceeds (from $800,000 to $1.5 million), and a $500,000 increase to investment earnings; staffing-related adjustments were also discussed, but the transcript’s amount is unclear. No budget action was taken. The board approved election canvass and certificate-of-election resolutions and several policies, including amendments to the fund-balance policy; these actions did not approve procurement spending. No contracts, vendor selections, or purchasing awards were identified.
