# Minnetonka Public Schools Board Study Session and Special Meeting October 22, 2026

The October 22, 2026 Minnetonka Public Schools Board study session reviewed staffing, enrollment, open enrollment, academic assessment results, and the district’s financial legislative positions. District leaders reported 96 teacher hires and an overall enrollment of 11,544. Open enrollment was described as generating about $73 million in revenue, with $15.3 million remaining after costs to support programs and staffing. Finance staff presented legislative funding priorities, including special education funding, unemployment insurance for 10-month employees, inflation adjustments to local optional revenue, and restoration of operating referendum capacity; projections showed these measures could reduce future deficits. The board discussed the proposals and planned to consider the financial legislative positions at a subsequent meeting. No procurement awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were identified.

At the special meeting that followed, the board approved the collective bargaining agreement with Minnetonka custodial and maintenance employees. The agreement provides step movement and a 13.72% market adjustment in year one, a 3.21% increase in year two, and increases to insurance and certain licensed positions. The motion passed following a vote. This was a compensation decision rather than a procurement contract award.
