# School Board Special Regular Meeting- October 12, 2026

Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education regular meeting, October 12, 2026. The board received an update on projects funded by the April referendum, which are currently in planning and design; no bids or construction contracts were awarded. Projects include new elementary and middle schools in Medina, a high school addition and site work, renovations at Oakwood/Early Learning School, kitchen upgrades at Birchview, and other site improvements. Wold Architects and Engineers, Kraus-Anderson, and Bolton & Menk are among the firms supporting planning and design, alongside coordination with local governments and other agencies. The district said it will provide construction updates every other month, and the board will approve bids as projects advance. Approximately $40 million per existing middle school was cited for improvements. A pilot purchase of middle-school classroom furniture will inform a broader furniture refresh.

The board approved the August 2026 combined financial report discussion with no action required; staff reported revenues and expenditures were within expected ranges, with supply and capital spending differences attributed largely to timing. Three employees addressed compensation concerns in preschool and childcare programs, noting negotiations had reached mediation; no compensation action was taken. The board also unanimously approved policies on public hearings and board vacancies, and approved the agenda and consent agenda. No procurement awards or bid approvals were identified.
