September 8, 2026 School Board Meeting

The Roseville Area Schools Board held a meeting on September 8, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. The board approved the 2026-2028 contract for custodial employees represented by Operating Engineers Local 70, which included a 2.5% salary increase over two years and a 13% increase in health insurance contributions. The board also received a detailed presentation on a proposed constitutional amendment to modernize Minnesota's permanent school fund, which would increase annual distributions to school districts by allowing distributions based on the full market value of investments rather than just interest and dividends. This amendment, requiring voter approval, is expected to increase funding for the district by approximately 50%, providing an estimated $200,000 more annually to support classroom instruction. The board emphasized transparency in contract negotiations and highlighted ongoing community engagement and donations supporting school supplies. No other procurement actions or capital projects were noted during the meeting.
