Chisago Lakes board approves consent agenda, accepts donations and ends charter authorizing role
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, accepted a slate of donations by roll call, voted to end its charter authorizer role effective 06/30/2026 and approved several routine personnel and program items, and scheduled a Feb. 25 work session to address budget reductions.
At its meeting, the Chisago Lakes School District board approved multiple routine items and several formal actions. The board first took the consent agenda after pulling a volunteer contract for separate consideration to permit an abstention. The consent agenda passed by voice vote.
Separately, the board voted to approve the volunteer seventh‑grade basketball coach contract for Joe after discussion; Sarah abstained because the volunteer is her husband. The board also accepted a list of donations to benefit athletics, scholarships and programs (including gifts from Saint Paul Fire, St. Croix Valley Foundation, a local Lions Club and others) by roll call vote.
In a formal notification read into the record, the board voted to end its role as a charter school authorizer and instructed staff to send a letter to the Commissioner of Education "Per Minnesota statute section 124E E-five subdivision 7" informing the department that the district will cease authorizing on 06/30/2026 for its one authorized charter school. The board also approved routine personnel items including mid‑year lane changes and annual teacher career increments and accepted a list of requested clemency/nomination changes.
Finally, the board set a working session for Feb. 25 at 8:00 a.m. to focus on budget reduction timelines. No litigation or contested policy votes were recorded.
