Loading...
Summary
District staff named dozens of students for character, arts and athletics honors, noted state competition ribbon winners and announced that the Minnesota Department of Education found the district’s special education program in full compliance following an audit.
District staff used the meeting’s recognition segment to name this month’s character honorees and to report a string of student achievements across athletics, speech, band, choir and visual arts.
The presenter listed individual students recognized for character and named ribbon winners from a May math competition and entries that will appear at the Minnesota State High School League 2026 visual arts state festival. The presenter also detailed multiple superior ratings and individual awards in band and choir.
On compliance, the staff member reported, “The Minnesota Department of Education has found our special education program to be in full compliance,” and praised the district’s special‑education staff for their work preparing for the audit.
The board also acknowledged donations to support student programs: $500 to the Bison Memorial Fund from Jack and Lisa May and $1,000 from Charles and Rosalyn Wingard of Wingard Land Services.
These recognitions and the compliance finding were presented as informational items during the district report portion of the meeting; no formal board action on the recognitions or the MDE finding was recorded in the transcript.
