Duluth Public School Board unanimously certifies Nov. 4 school board election returns
Summary
At a Nov. 13 special meeting, the Duluth Public School Board approved a resolution to canvass and certify the Nov. 4, 2025 school board election returns by roll-call vote. The motion to certify was moved by Member Williams, seconded by Member Mike Cassell; the board then voted to adjourn.
The Duluth Public School Board met in a special session Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025, and approved a resolution to canvass and certify the returns of the Nov. 4, 2025 school board election.
The presiding officer introduced Resolution SP-11-25-41-34, described in the meeting as "the canvassing returns of votes for the school board district general election of 11/04/2025." Member Williams moved to advance the resolution; Member Mike Cassell seconded. Because several members participated remotely, the board conducted a roll-call vote.
During the roll call, members recorded affirmative votes and the presiding officer announced, "We have passed resolution SP 11 25 41 35," reflecting a slight inconsistency in how the resolution number was spoken in the meeting transcript. Official minutes should be consulted for the board's final ordinance/resolution identifier.
Member Banks was recorded as excused. The deputy clerk recorded affirmative votes from the members present. After certifying the canvass, Member Williams moved to adjourn; Member Loeffler Kemp seconded, the board again approved the motion by roll call, and the presiding officer declared the meeting adjourned.
No public comment, debate on the canvass, or requests for recounts were recorded in the transcript of the special meeting. The board listed Superintendent Magus and Assistant Superintendent Bonds among those present for the session.
The board’s formal action at the Nov. 13 special meeting was limited to certification of the canvass and adjournment; any further procedures related to election contests, if raised, would be recorded separately in the board’s official minutes.
