The Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education held a Special Regular Meeting on September 28, 2026, combining a regular meeting and work session. The meeting included recognition of an employee of the month and a detailed presentation on Northwoods Elementary School's instructional strategies and student support systems. The board reviewed comprehensive reports on student experience, achievement, and equity initiatives, including data on preschool readiness, college and career readiness, and professional learning for teachers. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the preliminary 2026 payable 2027 levy certification, with Executive Director Trevor Peterson presenting a $120 million preliminary levy reflecting a $18 million increase largely due to a recently approved voter referendum. The board approved the preliminary levy certification at the maximum amount allowed by the state, with discussion on levy calculations and tax impacts. Additionally, the Policy Committee reported on ongoing policy reviews, including the development of a new artificial intelligence policy scheduled for public comment and adoption later in the year. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were discussed during this meeting.
