New Prague Area Schools board appoints Anne Christie to fill vacant seat
Summary
At a special March 28 meeting, the New Prague Area Schools board voted 4-0 to appoint Anne Christie to the remaining term of a vacant school board seat; the appointment becomes effective 30 days after adoption unless a valid petition is filed under Minnesota law.
The New Prague Area Schools board appointed Anne Christie to fill a vacant school board seat during a special meeting on March 28, 2025, adopting a resolution by a 4-0 vote.
Board member Dan read a resolution stating, “Anne Christie hereby is appointed to fill the vacancy and to serve the remainder of the unexpired term.” The resolution says the term expires on the first Monday in January 2027 and that the appointment will take effect 30 days after the resolution’s adoption unless a valid petition to reject the appointment is filed with the district clerk under Minnesota Statute section 123B.09, subdivision 5(b).
The appointment restores the board to a full seven members. At the start of the special meeting, board member Dennis noted four members were present: Dan, Jean, Karen and himself. After the resolution was moved and seconded, the board recorded votes of yes from Karen, Dennis, Jean and Dan. The board then adjourned the special meeting.
The resolution, as read, cites Minnesota Statute section 123B.09, subdivision 5(b) to outline the appointment process and the 30-day period during which a petition to reject the appointment may be filed with the district clerk. The resolution also states the vacancy concerns a term that runs through the first Monday in January 2027.
The meeting was convened as a special session for the purpose of approving a board appointment; no other substantive agenda items were discussed in the public record provided.
