Board accepts donations and grants, approves consent agenda and sets December meeting dates
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, accepted donations and grants (including support for the Eagle View Nature Center and sixth‑grade Long Lake field trip), and set December meeting dates, including a Dec. 15 truth‑in‑taxation meeting and a Dec. 22 special meeting.
At its November meeting, the Pequot Lakes Public Schools Board approved the consent agenda and passed a resolution accepting donations and grants.
Donations and grants read into the record included: $150 from the Patriot Activities Club for the Eagle View Nature Center; a $600 University of Minnesota grant for the Eagle View Nature Center; $2,500 from the Pelican Lake Association for a sixth‑grade Long Lake field trip and $3,000 from 66 Marine North for the robotics team. Board members thanked volunteers and staff who helped fundraise to keep student costs down; audience member Mike O'Neal confirmed families still paid but at reduced rates.
The board took the donations by roll call; each named member voted in favor (recorded as a 7–0 result). The board also confirmed upcoming meetings: Dec. 15 (truth‑in‑taxation at 6 p.m., followed by the board meeting) and a special meeting Dec. 22 at 6 p.m. The veterans program was announced for 9:00 a.m. the following day.
Other routine items — including second readings of policies 220 (student board representatives) and 410 (family and medical leave) — were noted but tabled for action at the third reading.
