December 16th, 2025 School Board Regular Meeting

The Osseo Area Schools held their regular School Board meeting on December 16, 2025. Key procurement-related discussions focused on extensive updates and progress reports on long-term facilities maintenance (LTFM) and capital improvement projects, including media center renovations, science room upgrades, furniture refreshes, and major construction projects such as the Maple Grove Senior High School addition and the new Aspen Ridge Elementary building. The board reviewed financial reports on LTFM and the "Build a Better Future" initiative, highlighting over $200 million spent on restoration and renovations since 2016. The board also discussed the proposed 2026 property tax levy, which included a 4.5% increase to support district operations and capital projects, and subsequently approved the levy at $148,688,565.60. Additionally, the board approved a second amendment to the superintendent's contract, including salary increases and benefits adjustments through 2029. Policy updates were approved with no changes, and gifts totaling $58,458.85 to the district were accepted. The meeting included public comments on taxation and school choice but no direct procurement actions from those comments.
