Board of Education Regular Meeting - Nov. 12, 2026

The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 Board of Education regular meeting, identified in the title as November 12, 2026, included financial, enrollment, school-program, and facilities-planning updates. The board approved the 2025–26 financial audit, which reported no material weaknesses, single-audit findings, or Minnesota legal-compliance findings. The General Fund balance decreased by $4.28 million, including a $1.6 million decline in unassigned fund balance. The district also reported that its Build and Become planning process is advancing strategic and facilities planning, with community input and a design team that includes technical experts such as architects, engineers, and financial professionals.

The main procurement-related action was consideration of the Metcalf Middle School demolition bid. Nine bids ranged from $795,000 to just over $2.5 million; administrators recommended awarding the project to the low responsible bidder, DRC Incorporated, for $795,000. The proposed scope included demolition, site controls, debris removal and disposal, grading, and site restoration. Board members discussed the lack of outside funding and the district’s previously committed $500,000; the motion to award the contract failed unanimously. The board discussed waiting for the developer to undertake demolition as part of its project rather than proceed without grant reimbursement. No other contract awards or purchasing approvals were identified.
