The Moose Lake School Board on Jan. 12 unanimously accepted multiple community donations to support student programs and confirmed coaching staff changes.

Additional contributions accepted for the Circuit Breakers Robotics Team included $50 from Davidson Insurance Agency, $500 from Revolve Labs Inc., and $100 from Lake Area Therapy Services. The motions to accept each donation passed by roll call, with board members Heikkila, Anderson, Peterson, Anderson-Reed, Gerdes and Blondo voting yes and no votes recorded.
