MPS Regular Board Meeting 4/09/2026

The Minot Public School Board held its regular meeting on April 9, 2026, where key discussions included community feedback on school branding and logos, student fees for the 2026-2027 school year, and an agreement with Minot Air Force Base. The board reviewed survey results regarding the secondary logo for Minot High School, ultimately voting to adopt the existing "M" from the Magician logo as the official secondary logo to comply with trademark concerns. They also approved recommended increases in student fees, including a $50 increase for Chromebook fees and a slight increase in meal prices to cover rising costs. Additionally, the board approved the 2026-2027 agreement with Minot Air Force Base. An executive session was held to discuss negotiation strategy with potential fiscal impacts. No new contracts or procurement awards were detailed, but the logo decision and fee adjustments have implications for future purchasing and branding activities within the district.
