The Albert Lea Public School District School Board approved a resolution to terminate or nonrenew the contracts of probationary teachers after the administration said affected staff had been notified.

Ashley (administrative staff), presenting the item for the administration, said the listed teachers are probationary and “can be non renewed without cause.” Ashley told the board that notices were delivered the Friday before the meeting and that reasons on the resolution include declining enrollment, financial limitations, potential discontinuance of positions and expiration of out‑of‑field permissions (OFPs).

A board member moved to approve the resolution and a second followed. The board adopted the resolution by voice vote; the record shows “aye” and the chair announced the resolution carries. The motion to approve was not recorded with a roll‑call vote in the transcript and no individual vote tallies were provided.

What the resolution does: the action approves nonrenewal/termination of the listed probationary teaching contracts for the end of the school year; Ashley noted that OFPs expire June 30. The administration recommended approval as presented.

The board did not discuss individual teacher names or details at length during the public meeting; no appeals or grievances were presented during the session.
