The Minnetonka Schools Board meeting on August 14, 2025, highlighted significant findings from the annual parent survey, revealing strong satisfaction levels among families and key areas for future focus. Superintendent Law emphasized the importance of gathering parent feedback, which has been a driving factor for board actions. This year’s survey, conducted by communications executive director Dr. Getty, saw a slight increase in participation, with 1,684 respondents, reflecting a consistent engagement level compared to the previous year.

Dr. Getty presented the survey results, noting an overall satisfaction rate of 97% for the education provided by the district, marking a 1% increase from last year. Parents reported improvements in educational quality over the past five years, with a notable shift of 4% from the "decreased" to the "remained the same" category. The survey also indicated positive trends in areas such as belonging and well-being, which have been emphasized by the school board.

Key concerns raised by parents included the use of personal and school-issued cell phones among students, as well as a desire for enhanced academic programming and learning opportunities at the middle school level. The board is expected to prioritize these areas in the upcoming school year.

Overall, the survey results reflect a strong commitment to continuous improvement within the Minnetonka School District, with the board planning to address the feedback received as they move forward. The insights gained from this year’s survey will guide future initiatives aimed at enhancing the educational experience for all students.
