Office of the Superintendent

Dear Robbinsdale Area Schools families and community members,

Over the past two years, Robbinsdale Area Schools has faced some difficult realities.

Together, we've made challenging decisions to begin restoring our district's financial stability, right-size our schools, and establish a more sustainable foundation for the future. Those decisions weren't easy, and I know they affected many in our community. That work continues today because maintaining a strong, financially sustainable district remains essential to our future. 

Throughout that work, one question has continued to guide every decision we make: How do we create the very best opportunities for our students?

Today, we have the opportunity to answer that question in a different way.

The Building Better Together: 2026 Bond Referendum isn't about simply improving buildings. It's about putting students first by creating learning environments that improve academic excellence by expanding opportunities, enhancing safety, all while ensuring we're using taxpayer resources responsibly for years to come.

We recognize that decisions regarding a bond referendum are significant for our entire community. You deserve honest information, clear explanations, and transparency about both the opportunities and the challenges before us. That's exactly what you'll find in this link to our Back to School Rdale Roundup. Whether you've supported every decision we've made or still have questions, I hope you'll take a few minutes to read the Rdale Roundup. You will learn why district leaders and our School Board believe now is the right time, and what this investment would mean for our students, staff, and community.

Be well,

Dr. Teri Staloch
Superintendent
Robbinsdale Area Schools
