Regular Board Meeting: August 17, 2026

The ISD 622 Regular Board Meeting held on August 17, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The board approved a cooperative agreement for the girls hockey co-op with Two Rivers and St. Paul Public Schools, ensuring opportunities for limited girls hockey players without requiring student transfers. They also approved revisions to the district's facility use fee schedule, which included increases to rental rates due to rising utility costs and updated square footage from recent construction projects. The fee adjustments aim to better reflect the costs of providing and administering facility rentals while maintaining affordability for community groups. Additionally, the board approved attendance for members at the National School Board Association annual conference. The meeting also covered budgetary challenges, including a discussion on a proposed operating levy referendum to address funding shortfalls and maintain educational programs, noting that the district has absorbed over $15 million in budget cuts over the past three years. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but policy revisions related to procurement thresholds were mentioned as part of upcoming policy adoptions.
