Ramsey County School Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant
District administration is seeking approval to apply for a 2025-2027 Ramsey County School Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant for $190,000 to implement a best practices waste, recycling and organic waste management program in Roseville's secondary schools. For the past several years, this program has successfully rolled out in the district's elementary schools thanks to two earlier Public Entity Innovation Grants (PEIG). This program has been led by Todd Lieser, buildings and grounds supervisor, and Angela Richey and Maria Amerman, nutrition services supervisors.
According to the agenda:
"The project scope included an upgrade to existing cafeteria sort tables and the single stream recycling program; capturing milk cartons in single stream recycling; switching from disposable to reusable foodservice trays and silverware; and developing a standard operating procedure and best practices for a waste, recycling and organic waste management program."
This item is part of the consent agenda which will be voted on as a group with other items.
Capital Projects Levy for Security and Technology
Previously discussed during the May 13 Work Study Session, now the school board will hear a report at the regular meeting about the potential capital projects levy for security and technology. This is a report and will not be voted on in this meeting. If approved by the school board at a future meeting, the school levy question will go on the ballot in the Fall 2025 election to fund security and technology projects for the next ten years.
During this meeting, the board will hear a report from district administration about how technology plays a crucial role in key aspects of district operations, including, "safety and security, student learning, cybersecurity, communications, and infrastructure." Without a dedicated funding source, Roseville Area Schools faces challenges in adequately funding technology operations.
There will be a presentation by Peter Leatherman of The Morris Leatherman Company on the results of a recent community survey about resident perceptions of the school district. The survey involved telephone interviews with a random sample of 400 School District residents between May 19 and 30, 2025.
The district’s municipal advisors will be present to discuss the financial impacts of a capital projects levy.
Superintendent's Performance Evaluation
On May 27 the board held a closed session to evaluate the performance of superintendent Jenny Loeck. A summary of this closed session will be shared during the June 10 meeting.

New Course Proposals for 2026-2027

A detailed description of each of these courses and why they are being recommended is included in the board agenda packet.
