Board approves donations, CLIP lease renewal, calendar changes and evaluation MOU
Summary
The Chisago Lakes School District board approved a slate of routine business items including multiple community donations, renewal of a CLIP lease at no rent increase, revisions to middle-school conference dates on the 2025–26 calendar, and a new MOU for the district evaluation program.
The Chisago Lakes School District board approved several routine agenda items during the meeting.
Donations: The board listed and agreed to accept donations from community organizations and individuals, including $3,600 from Taylor’s 12 Parents for Education (Brain Pot); a $2,000 contribution from the Chisago City Fire Department split as $1,000 each for boys and girls programs; $500 from the Alliance Club for student council; $2,000 from Hazleton for a community-education scholarship; $1,000 each from the Jean Hodge Foundation, Stacy Lines and Lake Region EMS for scholarships; and $500 from Peterson Companies for a boys tennis ball machine. The board indicated it would prepare the necessary resolution to accept the donations.
CLIP lease: District staff (Mr. Deetz) presented the annual renewal of the CLIP lease for partner program space with no increase this year; board members asked how the per-square-foot charge (noted in discussion as $20.26) is determined and staff explained it is based on square footage and has not changed recently. The board made and approved a motion to accept the lease renewal.
Calendar change: The board approved an amendment to the 2025–26 school-year calendar to move middle-school conference dates to Feb. 26 and March 3 so conferences occur immediately before spring break.
TDEC MOU: The board reviewed and approved a new memorandum of understanding for the district evaluation program (TDEC), with language changes reflecting new state requirements and leadership committee input; the board recorded votes in favor (Eric, Joshua, Brenda, Jen, Jeff, Laurie were noted as voting 'I') and passed the resolution.
Work sessions and adjournment: Board members also approved a scheduling change to hold work sessions on the Tuesday of the week of the board meeting (8 a.m. the week before the board meeting). The meeting adjourned after a motion and voice vote.
