Summary
At its business meeting the Prior Lake–Savage Area Schools Board administered the oath of office to newly elected Director Dustin Smith, approved the agenda, and elected Director Jessica Olstad as vice chair to serve until the January 2026 organizational meeting.
The Prior Lake–Savage Area Schools Board of Education opened its business meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and a ceremonial oath of office for newly elected Director Dustin Smith. Chair Bullion administered the oath and Smith publicly affirmed the duties of the office.
After the oath the board approved the meeting agenda on a motion by Director Atkinson, seconded by Director Johnson. The board then conducted nominations to fill officer roles for the remainder of the year. With only one nominee for chair, the nominated director assumed the role. Directors nominated two candidates for vice chair; following a roll-call election the board elected Director Jessica Olstad to serve as vice chair until the organizational meeting scheduled for January 2026.
No additional board business was transacted during the business portion; the board then voted to adjourn the business session 7–0 and moved into a study session. The vice-chair election was completed by public roll call as required by district rules.
