6-17-2026 Board of Education Meeting

The St. Cloud Area School District 742 Board of Education held a meeting on June 17, 2026, where they approved a consent agenda including financial transactions totaling approximately $2.75 million and awarded a bid for the remainder of Apollo High School renovations. The board received updates on the Ready, Set, School program, which involves bulk purchasing of school supplies through a partnership with the company Impacts to reduce costs and support students equitably. They also discussed early childhood programming expansions funded through a mix of state grants and private partnerships. Additionally, the board reviewed the district's 10-year Long-Term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) plan, which includes projects funded primarily through levies and bonds, such as HVAC upgrades and facility improvements at Lincoln Elementary and Apollo High School. The board also considered a partnership agreement allowing Blue Sox Baseball to use South Junior High's field in exchange for facility improvements at no cost to the district. The meeting included budget revisions reflecting increased enrollment and bond proceeds, with a focus on maintaining balanced finances and supporting strategic priorities.
