# ISD 728 School Board Livestream Live Stream

The ISD 728 School Board’s regular meeting on October 5, 2026, included discussion of the district’s November 3 bond and levy referendum, intended to address enrollment-related space pressures, facilities for students with significant special education needs, safety and security, and career and technical education (CTE). The superintendent and a board member highlighted upcoming community information sessions. The superintendent also clarified that the referendum and a separate permanent school fund constitutional amendment are distinct ballot questions, and that the amendment would not increase taxes.

The board approved a motion directing administration to prepare information required for the Minnesota Department of Education’s review-and-comment process for a potential addition to Hassan Elementary School. Members emphasized that this action authorizes planning and does not commit the board to construction; it would help preserve a timely option if the referendum does not pass, given continued enrollment growth. No construction contract, vendor selection, or project cost was approved. The meeting also noted a $100,000 Minnesota Housing grant supporting an Elk River High School student project to build a home with Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity. The board approved policies on second reading; other discussion included a recent school threat response and student experiences in CTE programs.
