Agenda and consent motions
Jim Bryan moved to approve the meeting agenda; Mr. Koenig seconded the motion. The board approved the agenda by voice vote.

Later the board approved the consent agenda. Therese Bjornstead moved to approve the consent agenda, seconded by Jennifer Tiff; the board approved the consent agenda by voice vote.

Donations and grants
The board recorded acceptance of two donations and grants listed on the agenda, including a $200 donation from the Juama's Club of Resnick for Kings Junction. A roll-call voice vote was taken for the donations and grants and the motion passed.

MSHSL membership resolution
The board considered and approved the annual Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) membership resolution. The superintendent recommended approval and a motion was moved and seconded; the board recorded an affirmative vote and the resolution passed.

Employee contracts and salary/benefit updates
Board members reviewed and approved a package of contracts and associated salary/benefit updates for several employee groups, including principals, program supervisors/directors, nonclassified staff and program assistants. Highlights discussed in the meeting record include:
- Addition of Juneteenth as a district holiday for eligible full‑time employees.
- District monthly contribution to single health insurance was discussed at $800; family contribution figures were discussed as $2,000 monthly (these figures were presented by staff as contract terms).
- Program assistants and some nonclassified groups received an agreed salary-schedule increase in the range discussed in the record (3.5 percent for certain groups; principals’ overall package described as including salary and benefits adjustments).

Board members moved and seconded the contracts package; the board voted and recorded the motion as approved in the meeting transcript provided.

Nonrenewal recommendations
District leadership recommended nonrenewal of two probationary contracts (Valerie Lee and Jason Mach) due to licensure issues. The superintendent recommended a motion to approve the nonrenewals; the transcript records the recommendation but does not include a recorded vote on those specific nonrenewals in the excerpt provided.

Jefferson building request for proposals
Staff presented an RFP to begin selling the district-owned Jefferson building. The RFP timeline in the record: an on-site tour at 8 a.m. on June 18; proposals due by 3 p.m. on July 24; and proposal opening at the July board meeting. The RFP requires a 10 percent earnest-money deposit that is nonrefundable if the buyer fails to consummate the purchase. A motion to start the RFP process was made and seconded; the meeting transcript does not include an explicit recorded vote on the RFP in the excerpt provided.

Three-year policy review
The board approved a three-year policy review covering several policies, including video surveillance, buses, student activity accounting, fund balance and post‑issuance compliance; the motion passed by voice vote.

Adjournment
The board moved and seconded adjournment and the meeting concluded by recorded voice vote.

What the record does not show
The transcript excerpt includes motions and approvals for many items but does not show recorded vote tallies for each item. Where the meeting recorded \"Aye\" or \"Motion passes\" the narrative above notes approval; where no outcome is recorded in the transcript excerpt (for example, the nonrenewal recommendations and the Jefferson building vote), this summary marks the vote as not specified in the meeting excerpt and recommends checking the official minutes for final tallies and any staff follow-up instructions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025.05.27 Regular School Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Red Wing Public Schools Board approved routine agenda and contract motions, reviewed a Jefferson building request-for-proposals and heard two nonrenewal recommendations that were recommended by staff but that lacked a recorded vote in the transcript excerpt.","taxTitle","Red Wing Public School District, School Boards, Minnesota","taxId",54241,"location","Minnesota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6527842,"Resident says missing camera footage, racial incidents left unanswered at Red Wing Public Schools public comments",92,1373000,1465000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3524976-4ffa758fe53a8c8fed4f1eb8f9dccbde&start=1373&end=1465","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3524976-4ffa758fe53a8c8fed4f1eb8f9dccbde/thumbnail_1373000.jpg","/articles/6527842/Minnesota/Resident-says-missing-camera-footage-racial-incidents-left-unanswered-at-Red-Wing-Public-Schools-public-comments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527842-3cfc3e0adfd8afbbd75d8b4c3f1d345f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775253667&Signature=ZmX0tAvQs3KFxePleS5VZJRtrWI4~kZguLK9nFCAKpAz68OHoRrmtNmY78ixJ1vQpZoAyYo~lX3C8T2hRSiSq1V7o2vFlp4qLiUguxbaYNg0drp49XtAaA-9Yg-hsIEBMZya6VSyNg3iW-WmUUpdYmIDaoIA8BkL101-X56kTpCQ--c8pRr3TrOCIj~0aINU4vaH9VBjBFZJ1cv~ILTuaG4TeMR3VNkbX5xIdGAWa4W~sNJZtArfWS9seP2NBm2TWPkmm7T~TJ5JQuA7yHORKmpcXmXZNDaUUCGySVnFIeC0MpNOCHTkaYplTS1FXbvpVnI19pWv~tilH~lPDr3sUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the board’s public-comment period, Amber Plank of Ward 4 addressed the board and described multiple complaints about how the district has handled safety and racial incidents.

Plank said a silent interval she timed \"was 1 minute and 4 seconds — the exact amount of time that your school security cameras mysteriously skipped on 12/04/2024,\" the day her daughter was attacked with scissors. \"During that silent minute, you may have been uncomfortable. My daughter was in danger, and there's no video, No answers and no accountability,\" she said.

Plank said the loss of footage prevented accountability and questioned whether cameras had been replaced. She also said that \"a high school student proudly held up a sign with the n word, and they smiled,\" and that at Burnside Elementary a student used a racial slur against a young Black child. \"This is a district that's made it clear that racism isn't punished. It's protected,\" Plank said.

She said she had compiled a one-inch stack of documents about the incidents and that she would continue to press the district for action: \"I'm done being polite about pain... I am the agitator. I'm the one who stirs things up, who breaks the silence, who demands the conversations no one else wants to have.\"

The remarks took place during public comment; the record shows Plank spoke but the board did not make a formal vote or issue a resolution on her complaints at that meeting. No district staff response or factual findings were recorded on the minutes excerpt provided.","In public comment a resident alleged a missing one minute, four second stretch of security footage from Dec. 4, 2024, tied to a scissors attack on her daughter and described other alleged racist incidents in district schools; the board did not respond with a vote or formal resolution during the meeting.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6527847,"Red Wing presenters seek school space, student access for Hope Squad peer-suicide-prevention program",654,327000,981000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3524976-4ffa758fe53a8c8fed4f1eb8f9dccbde&start=327&end=981","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3524976-4ffa758fe53a8c8fed4f1eb8f9dccbde/thumbnail_327000.jpg","/articles/6527847/Minnesota/Red-Wing-presenters-seek-school-space-student-access-for-Hope-Squad-peer-suicide-prevention-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527847-3e82fac6d3ef5cfa01606681996ebfdf/orig.mp4?Expires=1775253667&Signature=jw2hstJfkIVlyXE4J~ton1dLSx86wQn~6jjzU8M6d4EBJr6l7mV3oDqjwQdKQ1UJ3EWt3gVGavNKG84nycVAkNOYJvOKecbsRnogWS8UKvmjF9HPIKQKNuEbGL8xXQ8IvCIqHPETtUK4AfLdKzq-yW6Jsw5MaOql29wM803srACEnCGaYG5kcQR9JPM~9PT3IiNBQhxXeICZdvya6JFf15NrZYmOm4wvO5ROu70x4jgOiaELgz4m2nx6j~bGxcPggB~vUvPcddRRxiA0MiYgPCuJr~8DkqDsAnL6UDA4MkcHToXEl67hBwBYlteoW9r5mVukPxO1KngqaNl3V~Z8Sg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Liz Miguel, speaking as a Hope Squad organizer, told the Red Wing Public Schools Board that Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer program that trains students to recognize signs of anxiety and depression in classmates and to pass those concerns to designated adults who then connect students with mental-health providers.

\"Students are identifying anxiety and depression in their peers, not suicidal ideation,\" Miguel said. She said squad members relay concerns to identified adults — teachers, custodians or other staff — who then refer students to mental-health agencies such as Hiawatha Valley Mental Health rather than providing clinical care themselves.

Miguel described Hope Squad as \"an evidence based model for community collaboration,\" and said it began in Provo, Utah, after a string of teen suicides there. She said the Provo implementation went nine years without a suicide after Hope Squad was introduced and that the program now operates in 43 states and more than 2,300 schools.

Dr. Craig Morris, identified by Miguel as a member of the local board of directors for the proposed chapter, said students often learn best from other students and called Hope Squad a way to bridge gaps between students who show warning signs and the clinical professionals who can intervene. \"What Hope Squad really represents is an opportunity to provide that intervention and then make sure that connection with clinical services can be afforded,\" Morris said.

Miguel outlined the group’s costs and requests. She told the board the high-school-level curriculum typically costs about $4,000 a year; adult trainers require a two-day virtual training that costs about $400 per person; and the program also incurs smaller recurring expenses for apparel, snacks at meetings, printing and nonprofit-formation administrative costs. Miguel said the local Hope Squad board has fundraising plans and intends to cover all program costs so the district would pay \"0 dollars every year, not 1¢.\" She said the group can provide the program without using district funds.

The organizers asked two specific supports from the district: provision of semi-private space for weekly Hope Squad meetings during or after the school day, and access to the student nomination/selection process so students can nominate peers to serve as squad members. Miguel said Red Wing High School would likely need 12 to 18 squad members per year for each grade cohort, with heavier membership in younger high‑school grades so members can continue year-to-year.

Board members did not take a formal vote on the presentation. Miguel said the local board of directors includes Rachel Marshall Schoenfeldt, Dr. Craig Morris, Mayor Gary Yackel and others, and offered to provide additional materials and local data on teen mental-health trends.

The presentation concluded without a board action; the board will have the material on file if members wish to refer the request to staff for follow-up.","A group seeking to launch a locally funded chapter of Hope Squad briefed the Red Wing Public Schools board on the program’s model, costs and two specific requests: space for meetings and access to student nomination lists; the group said the program itself would be fully funded by outside fundraising.","actionData","errors"]
