The Annandale Public Schools School Board convened on July 28, 2025, to address several key issues impacting the district's operations and future planning. The meeting highlighted the approval of the 2025-2026 athletics and activities handbook, which included minor updates, and received unanimous support from board members.

A significant portion of the meeting focused on the approval of the Fiscal Year 2027 Long-Term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) 10-Year Plan. This plan is a state requirement aimed at ensuring the safety and upkeep of school facilities. Board members reviewed various attachments detailing revenue projections based on the age of school buildings and outlined necessary expenditures for health and safety inspections, including fire alarm system checks and OSHA compliance. Notably, the plan includes ongoing projects such as track construction, HVAC repairs, and improvements to indoor air quality through a new dehumidification system.

The board also adopted a resolution designating an official with authority for the Minnesota Department of Education's external user access recertification system, a routine annual procedure. Additionally, the acceptance of donations was approved, reflecting community support for the district.

In staffing updates, the board approved contracts for three teachers at the middle school, filling positions vacated by staff transitioning to other roles. Similarly, three work assignments were approved, including a health assistant, custodian, and paraprofessional, all aimed at maintaining essential support within the district.

The meeting concluded with the approval of six policies undergoing review, most of which featured minor changes. Board members also announced an upcoming dinner to welcome new staff on August 20, fostering community and collaboration within the district.

The next monthly meeting is scheduled for August 25, where further discussions on district matters will continue. Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to maintaining safe and effective educational environments while supporting staff and community engagement.
