operations for next school year that starts July 1, 2018. Formal approval will be considered by the School Board at their June 25, 2018 meeting. The preliminary general fund budget plans for 60 full-time equivalent teaching (FTE) positions to address class size issues as approved by voters in the Nov. 7, 2017 referendum. Other items include the addition of six FTE due to enrollment growth, new principal positions for elementary schools under construction, and planned reductions in spending for long-term facility projects to moderate the tax impact of referendum funded projects. Elementary and secondary education Resolution for project labor agreement Chuck Holden, chief operations officer, introduced a resolution for a project labor agreement with the Minneapo- lis Building and Construction Trades Council which would ensure the two new elementary schools approved by voters will be constructed on time to open for the fall of 2019 as planned. The agreement does not impact the cost of construction and ensures labor will be available to complete the schools as planned. The School Board adopted the resolution on a unanimous vote.
