# October 5, 2026 Shakopee Public Schools Board Meeting

Shakopee Public Schools’ regular board meeting on October 5, 2026, included a bond-sale update for facilities work. The district received 12 bids for general obligation facilities-maintenance bonds supporting long-term-facility-maintenance roofing projects; Morgan Stanley submitted the best bid, at a true interest cost of approximately 4.49%. A proposed bond refinancing was excluded because it was not favorable to the district, and the board took up the ratifying resolution as the final approval step. The presentation noted that the bond payments were already reflected in the preliminary tax levy and that the district’s A1 rating was affirmed by Moody’s. The transcript does not clearly capture the resolution’s final vote.

The board also approved the work-group recommendation known as Plan A for future early-childhood programming, including an estimated positive budget impact of more than $4 million, with staffing and program growth affecting the eventual savings. Other spending- and partnership-related actions included approval of donations (including furniture and supplies donated by the YMCA for Saber Connection), approval of the Magnifying Abilities program arrangement, and renewal of the Valleyfair ninth-grade academy champion agreement. No dollar amounts were provided for those items. Southwest Metro separately described a facilities-planning process, but no related purchase or project award was presented for approval.
