district has been um for decades of our school resource officers and the work they do and building relationships uh in our district. on February 15th. Um we were able to proudly recognize and celebrate um our officers in district as as districts did um across the state. Um
SRO's are an integral um partner in fostering safe, supportive, and resilient learning environments for students and school communities. In classrooms and cafeterias, at extracurricular events, and during times of uncertainty, SRO's show up with professionalism, compassion, and care.
they balance safety with service and helping to develop a positive climate throughout um our district. So, I just want to give a shout out to SRO's. We try to keep up on all the days whether we're doing social media posts um and and I know the building is doing an amazing job of recognizing all the their
staff and and the amazing work that they're doing and in this particular case, we just want to make sure that we recognize RS last week on February 15th. >> Awesome. I also want to say we've got a lot of staff members in here. You guys all know how integral of a part that
they play in our schools and how they form relationships with our students. So again, if you see them in the hallways, please thank them for the hard work that they do to keep our schools safe. All right, on to item number seven, innovation and leadership. The first
item on the agenda is a superintendent search addendum and recommendation for our superintendent finalist. And so I'm going to go through some information here just to give an update on where we're at within the process. So bear with me. Um tonight I'm pleased to share
an update on one of the most important responsibility this board has and that's the search of our next superintendent of schools. This past week marked a significant milestone in our process. On February 19th and the 20th, the committee of the board with support of
Rain Associates conducted interviews with seven highly impressive and qualified semifinalists. These candidates represented a diverse range of educational leadership coming to us from school districts of various sizes and bringing experience from roles
such as principal, executive director, assistant superintendent, and superintendent. In total, we had 31 people apply for the position, which is pretty incredible. Shows a lot about our district. I want to emphasize that all seven candidates were extremely qualified, making our
task both a privilege and a challenge. However, our goal was to find the leadership profile that best aligns with the specific needs and aspirations of our school district. After much deliberation and with the invaluable guidance of the feedback provided by our students, our family, our staff, our
community members through listening sessions and surveys that they provided, the committee is prepared to recommend three finalists to the full board tonight. These individuals have demonstrated the vision and experience necessary to lead our district forward. Pending the board's approval this
evening, we will move into the final round of interviews later this week. We invite the public to join us right here in the boardroom this coming Thursday, February 26 and Friday, February 27th, starting at 4:30 p.m. to observe these
final interviews. We continue to value your voice and attendees will have the opportunity to provide electronic feedback on each finalist during the interviews as well. Thank you to everyone who has participated in this process so far. We look forward to the final stages as we select the next
leader of our Monaceel public schools. So this is a agendum item that's recommended for approval requesting action be made on the committee of the board school board's recommendation on the Monaceel School Board approve the
identified candidates as finalists to interview for the superintendent position on February 26 and 27th, 2026. Second move by Jeff Hegley, seconded by Mark Branson. All those in favor, please say I.
>> I. >> No, please say no. >> Motion passes 6. So, with the board's unanimous vote tonight, I'm pleased to officially announce our three finalists for the position of superintendent of Monaceel Public Schools. Moving forward
in our search is Miss Janelle Bullard, Mr. Anthony Patternos, and Dr. Chris Swinson. We look forward to welcoming them for our final interviews later this week on Thursday and Friday.
All right, on to item number B, state of the district. Passing it back over to Superintendent Eric Olsen. uh two to three weeks, but um I was able to get around in the community and do um what we've traditionally called as the state of the district. And the state of
district is making sure that uh your staff has opportunity to hear uh where everything is at. um I get to the chamber so that um the businesses know and chamber is always a really really robust um presentation. I was able to
share uh the presentation with uh two retired teachers this year. I let them uh share the space and and gave some time to make sure that they kept were able to keep moving the um high school library um fundraiser going and then also shared with uh Dr. Jim Johnson for
former superintendent um in hopes that he's able to continue to connect uh deeper um scholarship uh connections in our district. So um and then also we had two family listening sessions. So that's kind of a summary and you can move forward two slides.
Um state of the district financial um reality and next steps. Um but um as we all know that in June um at um our updated budget um our school district was under that at 8% fund balance policy
at that time. And so as we were creating and crafting our story for the community, we uh part of that story was making sure that we saved off a potential $6 million in cuts in 2728. Um and we fully communicated that we
would still have uh potentially around $2 million. Um it's been very important to us as a district to uh throughout the year be very mindful to all expenditures and make sure that we're um trying to save that off so that um our classes uh
have the um utmost um ability to have low class sizes um and then also students have all the programs that they've been accustomed to. So that's what our focus continues to remain on as a district is focusing on keeping student programs and um making sure that
we're very mindful to our class sizes. Uh we are implementing a um a new budget approach that really just looks at the state uh money new money because we know with the old money we were under our 8% fund balance. And so making sure that we
have an approach that's more sustainable for our future um is something that uh other districts uh have been able to uh begin before we have and so we have some success stories and knowing um how they have successfully implemented and we've been doing that as well. Uh we've been
taking many actions uh across the um throughout the school year. One of those actions was in the fall uh we had a buildings and grounds director and when that person um sought employment elsewhere had an opportunity that they couldn't pass up. Um we just paused and
definitely did not fill that position. Um Miss Tina Burkholder has been taking many of the responsibilities on herself. Um and I've been trying to support her as well. Um, we also know that there's some funding sources that we're still waiting to really um, understand how
they're going to be implemented throughout the legislative session. Uh, one being ADS, which is a new funding source, which we're really grateful for. Um, this is just our first year um, in that um, in that with that funding source. So, we're just not positive um,
exactly what we're going to be able to code and it's going to take us a year to establish a baseline. Um and then we also know that um the compensatory dollars that um we were accustomed to having this current year um our run is
showing from the state is showing that um it's about $300,000 less than what we're accustomed to. We're hoping through the legislative session that they hold school districts harmless and keep that significant dollar amount um at holding us harmless and and being
able to fund us what we were accustomed to last year. Uh so we just look at um all those as we as a as a board so that those were what the uh community um has heard that we're trying to navigate with the utmost um care as we go through um
the financial and budget season. All right. Thanks Stephanie if you can just keep it. Next slide. Uh shared themes um you know in addition to the to the budget um making sure that uh both in our survey and our listening
sessions um we you know have topics of of interest to families and uh some of those interests uh were uh list are listed here. But it's important for families to continue um academic growth. So, we gave an update on some literacy initiatives that we're working through
over the last few years. Um, obviously fiscal responsibility. I've already talked about facilities and safety always on the minds of our people. So, kind of making that connection to our s O's today. Proud to the of the things that we are currently doing. Proud of the improvements that we make to our building, but it's always a topic that
you need to keep on um your uh district priorities. um district highlights. I'll go to next here and just kind of do an overall view of uh first off just looking at our elementary what our what our families heard is just we uh had principles talking about um you know
looking at the character of your kids and and making sure that you you're building that team atmosphere um and and building uh through character strong um the the skills that it takes to to be a good citizen, a good teammate uh at each of the elementaryaries. And so they've
been working on um skills that uh really lend themselves to um being good good people. Uh we've always been proud of of the work that we do with our civic organizations and um being in the district for 21 years. One of the things I think I'm most proud of and have been
on committees, but now I just get to really watch the work that the staff are doing um at Veterans Day and honoring um the work and service of our our women and men who who serve our country has always been a a very huge pride uh for
our school. We're we're really proud of that. But just capturing some of the pictures and the active learning um the things that uh I believe that our elementaryaries are are trying to implement along with some very robust and challenging um uh ELA adoptions. Um
so um our teachers continue to you know work through those uh new mindset and new u paradigms of of training um of the science of reading. And I think um from uh an outsider looking in, while it's grueling, we know that it's going to be
good for kids and we're starting to see some of those uh results come through in some of our test scores. Um especially uh lo the local test scores I'm talking about through Fastbridge. Um just moving forward looking at um what a big thing
that we had to address with the community is Naturebase. Um, while we've been proud of Naturebase for the last eight years and we've had different grade levels at Naturebase, uh, we just really wanted to share with our parents that we're trying to listen and do the
things that that um, you know that that they're sharing with us. And one of the things that they're sharing with us is they want a continuum. And so we've been um a couple board members here uh Chair Seven and board member Rut are working with the county to try build a continuum
of service for our naturebased program um along with a couple administrators and myself and we'll continue on that track. Um but that continuum of service to have every grade lover level out at Naturebase is really um looking at a three to five year plan. And so in the
meantime we have to make some big decisions this year. And so um Principal Green has been doing a great job of of surveying families, trying to see what grade levels uh fit out there and gather that information so that as we get through uh March, we can make some final
decisions on what grade level should be out there. Um and and kind of set in that stage of building a continuum, but uh knowing that it's it's a little bit more challenging uh right now because currently we have prek K and then we have grades four and five. So, not quite
a continuum for sure. And so, making those decisions are throughout this month is going to be big work. Families that came um through the last two years that we've done listening sessions um obviously it's a they come there to talk about naturebased, but it's uh um it's
great conversation especially this year. I would say it was everybody was in a place that they really as long as we're working towards that continuum, I think they understand that uh it's just something that we also have to build. um budget friendly decisions and so um continuing to do um the research
throughout this month before we make any final determination that'll be brought to the board. All right, moving forward to special education. Just looking at special education across our district. Um we're known for our special education. I think uh we are all very proud of that. Um and we just talked
about the level of services for families and and for chambers so that they could understand it a little bit more. Um because sometimes you hear things in the media or you hear things um that are just kind of partial pieces of the story and I think um our partnership with in
our collaborative I should say within Sher and Wright um we have really done our due diligence and Monty programming to build um robust one and two which we've always had and then we've really
done a nice job in the last few years to uh build levels three supports um in Monty programming and then we have that co-op uh programming for our centerbased 3.5 and our um and then our uh
behavior ch uh students with behavior challenges um in the level four program that which both of those programs are either here at the middle school or offsite at a workbased uh center. So 3.5 and and four uh programs are um have
really done a nice job to build some unity and and trying to streamline the um the resources that are used. And so trying to get them closer to each other in proximity and um and having them um in places like the work center have been
good for the kids, good for the staff to have um some of those budget resources under one roof. Um but then also really good um for for the budget too because you're maximizing the people who are working with kids instead of travel time. Um so yeah, moving forward to our
secondary um secondary is a fun place to um visit from grades 6 through uh 12, but just uh lots of hands-on experiences. is obviously we have our traditional content but then proud of of the work that's being done um during um
during both uh middle school and high school uh working on making connections to life uh what our students need. um both our high school has been offering lots of different classes and then our content learning at the middle school of
of uh both um language and then also um with our students in in um uh e um trying to make sure that we are um giving robust um professional development training so that we're not just teaching content but we're trying
to make connections to content throughout the day. So in action um that we've seen um in internships action in um class or teachers putting forth um new classes and it's just been a really
I think exciting time for um secondary to build the things that I think make us uh on the cusp of of being that uh that that school district that is a leader and front runner which is fun fun to
watch. Um yeah, so I think uh the the community still is getting to know that, you know, they they're used to the picture down in the bottom right, graduation when they think of secondary. Um but, you know, they're being introduced to, you know, the STEM class at the middle school. They're being
introduced to uh to um our egg program that we haven't had in over 30 years. And through those introductions, people get pretty excited. And and it's that excitement is it was what makes our community um have that pride of of our
school system. Uh we've really proud of our arts. Um, we're still one of the only schools around that has middle school orchestra. And I think when we go to our concerts of our our band, our orchestra, um, and our choir, um, just
that, um, that feeling of pride that the community has when they come to those concerts is pretty evident because they're almost always really packed and vibrant of of people just engaged in in uh, excitement for the arts. Uh, yeah. if if
you can go forward that' be awesome. Um activities and athletics and um when I did this presentation I was using numbers like 18 and 28. So um now I have to change it a little bit. I believe it's 20 and 30. And so out of the 30
opportunities that our students have had in the last year and a half to either go to the state as a team or go as an individual, uh we've been able to uh represent the community uh in 20 out of 30 times. So twothirds. Um, and so what
that says is the the work that our families are doing um uh you know in youth sports and and a lot of people in here are coaches. Um and then the work that's being done at the um high school level to um compete at a high level is
something that we're very very proud of. Um, it's great to have the facilities that make you proud, but it's even more proud to have respectful athletes that are showing uh athletes and entertainers and and performers that are absolutely
shining in all musicals and and sports across the across the community. So, yeah, pretty pretty exciting stuff. Hopefully. Um I know I was texting with the board and um pretty exciting gymnastics weekend and pretty pretty fun
to uh see a state championship and um that brings a lot of community pride. >> Double A. >> Double A. They were worried. They were worried last year when they really thought that was a a really solid chance while they were in single A. You get moved up. A lot of our sports programs
got moved up. Um and they're still shining. So, I think that's just pretty pretty sweet. All right, moving forward. Um, listening sessions. Uh, this is my favorite listening session. And I think what makes it my favorite listening session is that we
continue to involve students in our listening sessions. And when you have students represented at at a listening session, it really brings a different perspective because um, their lived experience is really the experience that should guide all of us and and what
we're doing. Um and uh at our listen session we had uh two bo two student uh board reps. Um and we did the same thing last year and just learned how successful it was. Um but you know um the listening sessions were around 20
people at both uh session um healthy conversations. U we got a little time for you know to do small group um you know breakout sessions. Uh so it was a you know it wasn't just like a like a coffee chat where people are coming with
a you know questions to bombard one at a time. It was like really to get them in a space of of sharing and and talking about what they're curious about what they're proud of in our district. Um and obviously you know had a presentation with um the staff as well talked to
them. That was my hardest of my my 30 years. It's hard to get up in front of people and talk about where we are. Um, it's like a tale of two stories. You're trying to fix something and be proud of the levy, which we all are. Everybody had to do exactly what they had to do
for that thing to pass. Um, and then, you know, when it uh it doesn't fix everything, even though we knew that, it's just it's just challenging. And so, we navigated that. Um and then um the chamber presentation I've already shared
a little bit shared the stage gave um you know a different perspective and feel to that uh um that session but all of them went very well. I just want to make sure you guys know about that. Um next slide. Um we have a survey out there right now
and two so far um when we put this together 246 people um have already uh responded. anytime you get in a district our size and when you get a survey that is a district level survey um and we've only sent one reminder um that gets 200
responses that's kind of common so we're already a little over that plus we had the listening session where we gained some uh data from there um and we'll continue to bolster this it it closes this at the end of this week and we'll make sure that we bring forth uh that
data um that we're collecting um at a future board meeting so that you can see that throughout this budget season. So, it'll be in March. All right, next slide. Yeah, just as a summary, we know what we're trying to do. Um, but just making
sure that we continue um uh our eye and focus on the center part of our strategic uh priorities, which is our students. Uh maintaining um stable class sizes and and keeping programs for students will be our our goal. Um
strategic plan. It's important to continue to engage in those types of um engaged listening sessions. Um I know uh we worked as an admin team after the family listening sessions and um the qu couple questions were posed, but how how
would you how did you feel about you know attending those and being part of those? How could you use them in your building with your staff and with your with your um families? So, we're thinking of, you know, if you're really going to be a district that has two way
relationships, not just communicating out, you have to keep being mindful at doing these things that are a little bit hard. Um, I guess unfortunately, I'm more comfortable with them because I started them um, you know, as a principal and I've done them for years, went through
COVID with coffee chats and um, and so opening myself up is something that I'm comfortable with doing, but it's something that you know that you have to build into the the culture of the system and we're still trying to um find ways to do that more but we're proud of what
we're doing and we'll continue to move those forward and I just think with the community trust uh you know it's that continuing that open um dialogue and momentum that we shared. Um, I think what was cool during the operating levy
is is that what a lot of people won't know but many who were at those places, but there were a couple that were pretty heated. Um but but when you stay in the game and and and you talk about finances in a in a place that um in the end
everybody walks away productive um and even though their taxes were going up um and they you know we passed um I think it's some of those conversations that led to um you know a successful vote as well um because we didn't shy away from
it and every board member um was very engaged and like I said at the beginning of my presentation like everybody body. So, every text you sent, every conversation you had, whether it was on a Friday night at a Legion, whether it was at a youth basketball tournament, like everything had to happen. Three, a
little over 300 votes is not that much. And I think we I mean I feel very blessed and and proud to have been part of of that open dialogue that we created across this community about education because that's that open dialogue should be happening because our future are our
kids and um if you're not willing to talk about them and make things better for them then we're not going to have a very bright future. So thanks for that engagement. And then just a summary um on the last slide but um who are we? Um I mean just a reminder, you know, our
strategic priorities should be continually driving us. I've talked a little bit about our students at their core. Um, but our strategic priorities that we've had for the last eight years that continually be refreshed, but I'm sure the new superintendent will want to really dive into this. It's a it's a and
either, you know, either grab on to everything but or probably tweak or or go through a process that um, you know, that uh that they they have at their core. But, you know, I don't think our strategic priorities will will go away, but it's just how they're used and maybe
what data you collect from them and and how people talk about them um in classrooms. I know when I've got the chance to speak in classrooms, one of my favorite things is when kids can name that and I'm just I in this case I I was talking about um in a class this year
where high school students could name the four strategic priorities. And so when that becomes alive and and breathing, that's when, you know, good things will will happen for our people. So yeah, with that said, I'm looking forward um to just uh being able to see
who that next person is and begin working with them because it's a it's a huge uh transition, one that uh uh you guys have not taken lightly and that makes me also so proud. So just connecting the state of the district to the very times um and one of the very
times that you've spent um several weeks on as a full board, but the whole weekend on as the board of the committee um and last week uh the hours that you've already put into that makes me very proud. Thank you. >> Well, thank you for the regular update. Board members, do you have any questions
for Superintendent Wilson? Questions? I do. I do. >> Um, so for the listening sessions, when you update us on the data information, is that when you'll update us on the information collected from the listening sessions as well? >> Yeah. >> Okay, great. And then I just wanted to
call out um some of the things that you had mentioned. I just thought this was an interesting connection that out out of all of our candidates that were interviewing for the superintendent position, certain things were mentioned for why they applied for a position here
in Monaceel. Um, our naturebased program was appealing, our pathways program at the high school was appealing, vision of a learner, our orchestra program, as well as um the amazing reputation of a
lot of our district staff throughout the state. And so, I just wanted to give a shout out with that because it aligned with some of the pictures and the stuff that I saw you noting that I think is pretty cool and it's why people um around Minnesota talk about Monaceel as
being a pretty awesome place. All right. All right. Now, we'll move on to item number eight, safe and healthy culture. First item on the agenda is our custodial and maintenance 2025 to 2027 master agreement. And help me welcome to
the podium, Director Rob Daner. >> Thank you, Chair Steven, members of the board, Superintendent Olsen. Um, so this year we had six of our nine organized units uh up for a round of negotiations and I'm excited to bring forward our
second tenative agreement from uh the current cycle. Um, and then just a preview for the board um in coming meetings. Uh we're expecting to bring forward the food service uh tenative agreement as well along with our administrative assistant tenative agreement uh shortly thereafter. Uh but
tonight we're focused on the custodial maintenance employees. Um this is for board action this evening. Uh a little background. The a tenative agreement was reached regarding the 25 to 27 uh master agreement with the custodial maintenance employees on Thursday, January 2nd, 2026. The agreement was ratified by the
unit on Friday, February 13th of 2026. And district administration recommends that the board of education approve this agreement. Uh the essential uh elements of this initial agreement uh initial I'm sorry of this tenative agreement include the following. Uh so in year one on the
wage scale uh there's in increase on all cells of 0.9% retroactive to July 1st. Um no dollars towards group insurance in year one. Um same for longevity and pay differential. In year two there's an increase on all sales of 1.0% in year
two. an increase of $30 per month on both single and family contributions in year two as well. Um, however, no increase on longevity or pay differential in year two either. In terms of language items, um, there
was uh minor gender cleanup throughout. Um, we also uh put some language in regarding Monaceela branded headwear. Um, just a professional appropriate look and uh, to that extent the district has agreed to a one-time distribution of one hat to each unit member as well. um
deferred matching contribution. Um we amended the deadline to enroll annually in deferred matching contribution plans to align with the annual group insurance open enrollment deadline. Um you might remember that our um group insurance um annual cycle begins October 1st and so
we do open enrollment in September and so this would align that deferred matching contribution deadline to that same date um that would be amended annually. Job posting. Uh the agreement amends the job posting section of the contract by adding maintenance positions to those positions um such as head
custodian, lead custodian that are now sub that are subject to employer interview before hire. Um leadership stipen. The uh district has agreed to provide leadership stipens for each year of the agreement to each of our head custodians at each of two sites experiencing the highest rates of
facility rentals. And so we have uh quite a bit of of push from community education to phys uh utilize u those two venues. And so we're um making appropriate accommodations therein. And then finally, memorandum of understanding regarding head lead and maintenance position interviews. The
district has agreed to include at least one unit member uh on each of those interview committees for head lead and maintenance positions through June 30th, 2027. Generally, that's best practice. We do that anyway, but we agreed to at least put in writing just for um
memorialization in this contract. Uh the total package value over two years is cost at 4.75% MSPA and again that is within uh the budget parameters as established by the board. And so again, the district administration is recommending that the board approve this
agreement. >> Pending your questions action item. >> Go ahead. I make a motion to approve the master agreement as presented by Rob Danicker. >> Second. >> Moved by Jeff Hegley. Seconded by Mary
Bartell. All those in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Oppos, please say no. >> Motion passes. 6. Thank you very much. Director Danaker. All right. On to second reading of
policy. I will pass it right back to Director Daner. Thank you, Sher Steven. Um, so for action this evening, we have two uh policies coming forward. The first is policy 709, student transportation safety. The purpose of this policy is to provide safe transportation for students and educate
students on safety issues and the responsibility of school bus ridership. Uh, recently there was some uh events uh locally in and in the state of Minnesota that caused us to review this policy as a committee. As a reminder, the policy committee meets uh once per month to go
through policies that are um brought forward for that agenda. Um in this section, we are proposing to amend the section on parent guardian responsibilities for transportation safety uh to include a reminder that parent guardian supervision for all children under eight years of age um
should be uh in line with Wright County child protection procedures and state of Minnesota expectations as well. That is the only change uh for policy 709. And I'll take any questions on that policy. Okay. And the second and final policy
this evening is policy 906, community notification of predatory offenders. Uh the district uh first um uh adopted this policy in 2019. It has not been revised since then. So it was brought forward as part of our review cycle. Uh there were some uh minor changes in terms of
