School Board Meeting - July 28, 2026

The Stillwater Area Public Schools Board held a meeting on July 28, 2026, focusing primarily on educational program updates, curriculum implementation, and community engagement. Key procurement-related discussions included the introduction of a new executive director for the Partnership Plan, a nonprofit supporting the district through fundraising and community involvement, which may influence future philanthropic funding opportunities. The board reviewed academic data, including literacy program successes and the adoption of a guaranteed and viable curriculum across K-12, supported by state-approved training funded externally, thus minimizing direct district expenditure. Additionally, the board discussed policy updates related to school-sponsored celebratory or recognition trips, aligning district policy with the Minnesota School Boards Association model. No direct contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting highlighted ongoing initiatives that could impact future procurement and budget considerations, particularly in literacy and educational program support.
