New Prague Area Schools appoints Anne Christie to school board vacancy

In a special meeting held on March 28, 2025, the New Prague Area Schools Board took a significant step in filling a vacancy on the school board by appointing Anne Christie to serve the remainder of an unexpired term. The meeting, attended by four board members, was called to address this pressing need for leadership within the district.

The board began with the Pledge of Allegiance before moving swiftly to the agenda, which focused solely on the appointment. The resolution to appoint Christie was read aloud, confirming that she meets the qualifications set by Minnesota law. The board unanimously approved the resolution, restoring the board to its full complement of seven members.

This appointment is crucial for the New Prague Area Schools as it ensures that the board can operate effectively and make decisions that impact the community's educational landscape. The appointment will take effect 30 days after the resolution's adoption unless a valid petition to reject it is filed.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting the board's efficient handling of the agenda. With Anne Christie now on board, the New Prague Area Schools can continue to focus on their mission of providing quality education and addressing the needs of their students and families.
