ISD 728 School Board · November 3, 2026

Growing strong schools alongside our growing community.

Excellent Schools. Thriving Kids. Proud Communities.

I'm Sara Weis, and I'm running for re-election to the ISD 728 School Board — because growing communities become strong communities when schools are excelling, kids are thriving, businesses are growing, and neighborhoods are vibrant.

Let's Grow Together.

The Platform

Three things a growing district can't afford to fall behind on.

Growth is good news for our community — with the right planning, it's an opportunity to build even stronger schools. Here's where I'm focused for the next term.

01 · Facilities

Building ahead of the curve

Planning new construction, classroom capacity and operational needs around real enrollment projections and mandated requirements.

02 · Programs

Protecting what works

Making sure academic programs, electives, and support services expand with the student population.

03 · Activities

Room for every kid to belong

Athletics, arts, and clubs offer opportunities beyond academics for students to thrive and communities to rally around, establishing an identity and community pride.

About Sara Weis

A steady, experienced voice for a district on the move.

I grew up in a small Minnesota community, raised by generations of farmers and teachers. The lessons were simple: if you want something done, get involved and make it happen. I moved to Rogers in 2002, where my family and I put down roots — raising two sons who have since graduated from Rogers High School, excelling in the classroom, participating in various activities, and serving as captains of their hockey teams.

I believe that communities grow and develop through the collaboration, partnership, and hard work of the people who live and work there. I've been active within our community for over 20 years, serving on District Planning Committees & PTO Boards, the ROADS Foundation, Youth Athletic Associations & High School Booster Clubs, and the Arena Commission Board. I've had the privilege of working with our cities, local businesses, and various other organizations to navigate the growth of our communities together.

I believe that responsible leadership comes from demonstrating steady governance and thoughtful decision making. Whether it's setting a budget, hiring a superintendent, or planning for growth, I bring the same approach every time: ask the hard questions, review the data, listen thoughtfully, weigh the tradeoffs honestly, and follow through.

Joined the board

Led the superintendent transition as Vice Chair

As Vice Chair of the board, guided the district through a new superintendent search and transition process.

Set the board's goals and accountability process
