The Burnsville Public School District Board of Education held a regular meeting on April 24, 2025, where several key topics were discussed, including the approval of the Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) stretch calendar and updates on the superintendent search.

Christy Wozak, the special education supervisor, presented the 2025-2026 ECSE stretch calendar, which is designed to meet federal and state mandates for early intervention services for children aged birth to three. The board unanimously approved the calendar, which allows staff to provide continuous services during the summer months, ensuring that young learners do not experience gaps in support.

In another significant update, the board discussed the ongoing search for a new superintendent. The application deadline closed on April 20, with 23 candidates applying for the position. The board is currently reviewing these applications and will determine finalists during a special meeting scheduled for April 28.

The meeting also included reports from various board committees. The policy review committee discussed changes to policy 413 regarding harassment and violence, which were approved on a first reading basis. Additionally, a new regulation was added to policy 601, which outlines the district's curriculum and instruction goals.

The board also addressed operational matters, including the approval of a five-year lease agreement for copier equipment and services, costing approximately $150,000 annually. Furthermore, resolutions were passed to terminate non-licensed staff hours at the end of the 2024-2025 school year.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the district's commitment to early childhood education and the ongoing efforts to secure effective leadership as it moves forward. The board's decisions reflect a focus on maintaining quality educational services while navigating necessary administrative changes.
