The consent agenda, which included the acceptance of gifts, was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The public transcript records the voice vote as “Aye” and the clerk stated the motion carries; a roll-call tally was not included in the public remarks.

Why it matters: Gifts and donations support school programs and the district food shelf; board acceptance formally recognizes donor contributions and enables district staff to allocate the funds or in-kind donations as reported.

What comes next: The district will process the gifts according to existing procedures and acknowledge donors.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Mounds View School Board, 2/6/25","oneSentenceSummary","Staff reported 10 gifts to schools totaling $29,674.77 and 18 gifts to the Ralph Reeder food shelf totaling $19,080.85.

Carl Brown, director of community education, and Ryan Link, principal of Snail Lake, described the district’s academic offerings: kindergarten summer school at Pike Lake, extended targeted services at elementary and middle schools, extended school year (ESY) services for students with IEPs at multiple sites, and credit recovery at Mounds View High School and the area learning center. Adult education courses — including English language learning, career pathway classes and GED testing — will be offered at Silverview.

Brown said summer registration is scheduled to open March 18 and the district will mail a catalog to every household. Enrichment programs will include day camps at Turtle Lake (AM and PM blocks, Monday–Thursday for eight weeks with optional Friday field trips), middle-school–focused camps consolidated to a single site this year because of construction, a variety of sports clinics, driver’s education offerings and a summer band and orchestra program running in July with a culminating concert.

The district also described partnerships and supports: an overnight summer camp for upper elementary and early middle-school students, and summer school-age childcare run by the YMCA at four district schools this year (up from three last summer) because of increased demand. Brown confirmed district transportation will be available for some programs including ESY.

Why it matters: Summer programming supports academic recovery, enrichment and childcare needs for families. ESY sites and transportation are particularly important for students with IEPs and families who rely on district services.

What comes next: Registration materials and the full program catalog will be published online and mailed to households ahead of the March 18 registration opening; staff said they will return in August with a report on participation and outcomes.","Director Carl Brown and Principal Ryan Link previewed the district's summer offerings, including kindergarten summer school at Pike Lake, ESY sites, credit recovery at Mounds View High School, adult education at Silverview, and YMCA-run childcare at four schools.

Superintendent Chris Lennox told the board the calendar was reviewed by the joint policy committee — composed of staff, teachers and board members — and certified to meet statutory student-contact day and teacher work-day requirements. The committee prioritized scheduling as many five-day weeks as possible and sought to align days off with recognized religious holidays.

Board members who participated in the calendar process told the board they reviewed the calendar through an equity lens to reduce the need for families to pull students from school for religious observances. One board member also noted that publishing a calendar two years in advance helps families and staff plan.

A motion to approve the 2026–27 calendar was moved and seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote and the motion carried. The transcript records the voice vote as “Aye” with no roll-call tally recorded in the public transcript.

Why it matters: The calendar sets school-year timing two years ahead, affects scheduling for families and staff, and incorporates statutory requirements and district priorities.

What comes next: The calendar will be used for district planning and family communications; the district will publish the approved calendar and continue related planning for the 2026–27 school year.","The school board approved the district's draft 2026-27 calendar after a recommendation from the joint policy committee; the calendar meets statutory student-contact requirements, prioritizes five-day weeks and accommodates religious holidays.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6344664,"Mounds View board previews new student cell-phone policy after broad community feedback",274,1158000,1432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250341-13306f482852ea6b83383b8502c00d81&start=1158&end=1432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250341-13306f482852ea6b83383b8502c00d81/thumbnail_1158000.jpg","/articles/6344664/Minnesota/Mounds-View-board-previews-new-student-cell-phone-policy-after-broad-community-feedback","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344664-599e26bd30cd69f598f788a6c74b485a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770940123&Signature=HLOGbqDq0PphozKBQRjYK25qUSvDf70kRekIpKfZRu54iHCCWnvL8~VR4Ic6oXPt-ycVnkKw0XSno5O40720A7~TkLGF0~2bM4eVRiCcuMxlcEQB~gh7Rt68AAXwcNC1DLu-0AvkqGXSHGzD4hR5TCseYCxQVLwWXLnKYhrjWJp5Yw6Hj~h6DCrEStSEkXpIq1QoutnmM2gOBVfx~j6DGND-6pG62Yr4rgoQBhk8Fco2sskI4xnrxGSmCI0zT~EuOIJ~fEFEOmlwwwq1qoebdPebKuA2yTYg~EdqdOqRnzNof0s67lE~4Yt2FNM5sAAAMXHA-vWfOmWatdXdFScSbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mounds View School Board on Feb. 6 discussed changes to policy review procedures and introduced a draft student cell-phone possession and use policy required by the state legislature.

The draft policy, listed as EG 3.116, and proposed revisions to existing policies BG0303 and EG3115 were presented by Vice Chair Heidi Danielson and Superintendent Chris Lennox. Lennox said staff collected community feedback through surveys and meetings that informed the draft.

The board described the outreach as substantial: more than 3,000 survey responses and two community meetings with more than 200 participants provided the input that district staff and a district advisory committee used to shape the policy. Lennox said the advisory committee included students, staff and administrators and met multiple times before making recommendations to the board.

Under the proposed process change to BG0303, policies would receive one reading at a work session and one reading at a regular board meeting before adoption or deletion, instead of two readings at general board meetings. The revision to EG3115 — the district's electronic technology acceptable-use and safety policy — would add a cross-reference to the new cell-phone policy.

Lennox told the board the draft cell-phone policy is “very similar to what we were currently doing”: no access for elementary students during the school day and limited access for secondary students outside instructional time. Board members said the draft implements the state requirement while reflecting local stakeholder preferences.

No final vote was taken on Feb. 6. The board scheduled a second and final reading of EG 3.116 and the related policy revisions for its March meeting.

Why it matters: The state legislature has required school districts to adopt a specific cell-phone policy, and the board’s choice will determine how devices are managed in classrooms and common spaces across the district. The policy also affects staff enforcement procedures and cross-references the district’s broader technology use rules.

What comes next: The board will return in March for a final reading and vote on EG 3.116 and the proposed amendments to BG0303 and EG3115.","Superintendent Chris Lennox and Vice Chair Heidi Danielson outlined proposed revisions to the district's policy process and introduced a draft student cell-phone policy (EG 3.116). The board will return in March for a final reading after staff, a district advisory committee and more than 3,000 survey respondents informed the draft.","actionData","errors"]
