Summary
The Robbinsdale Area Schools board publicly administered the oath of office to Dr. Kenneth Wolaniowuto on April 7. He declared a conflict of interest related to teacher contracts because his spouse is a district employee.
The Robbinsdale Area Schools board swore in Dr. Kenneth Wolaniowuto as its newest director at the April 7 business meeting.
Dr. Wolaniowuto recited the oath of office and then publicly disclosed a conflict of interest: he said his wife works as a district teacher and that he would not vote on teacher contracts. He offered brief remarks about his background — as a parent, immigrant and spouse of a district employee — and said he will focus on evidence and data in his work on the board.
Chair Rita Evans Becker invited family members to join the board for a photo after the swearing‑in. The board also corrected the meeting minutes later in the agenda to show that an earlier appointment vote used a resolution to comply with statute.
