Eden Prairie School Board Candidate Forum - Sept. 16, 2026

The Eden Prairie School Board Candidate Forum held on September 16, 2026, provided a platform for candidates to discuss their backgrounds, motivations, and views on key issues affecting the school district. While the forum primarily focused on topics such as school safety, mental health programs, technology and AI use in classrooms, and the superintendent's role, there were no direct procurement or contracting discussions. Candidates emphasized fiscal responsibility, the importance of mental health resources, safety protocols, and the need for clear policies on AI usage. The forum also touched on community engagement and the nonpartisan nature of the school board. Voters were encouraged to participate in the upcoming November election and consider a constitutional amendment related to school funding effective July 2027.
