Willmar School Board Schedules Key Meeting for January 12

The Willmar Public School Board will hold its reorganizational meeting on January 12, 2026, as part of its regular session. This meeting will take place following the district’s winter break and will address several important administrative matters.

Agenda Highlights for the Meeting

During the meeting, board members are expected to approve salaries and grant the superintendent and the director of business and finance the authority to execute contracts and make necessary purchases of goods and services. Additionally, the board will designate official organizations as outlined in the agenda posted on the district’s website.

Another critical aspect of this meeting is its timing, as it falls just days before the January 15 deadline for open enrollment. This date marks the final opportunity for students to apply to attend schools outside of their resident districts.

Financial Review and Performance Evaluation

As part of the regular meeting, the board will also receive a presentation concerning the 2025-26 revised budget and will review the 2027-28 school calendar. These discussions will provide insights into the district’s financial outlook and planning for the upcoming academic years.

Furthermore, the board is scheduled to conduct a performance evaluation of Superintendent Dr. Bill Adams during a closed session, in accordance with the Open Meeting Law. This evaluation will assess his performance and contributions to the district’s educational goals.
