Rushford-Peterson schedules final bond information meeting; district says outreach is informational
Summary
District materials show two bond informational meetings saw 30 and 50 attendees; a third meeting was set for Jan. 21, and the superintendent said mailers and website material will inform voters ahead of the special election.
Rushford-Peterson School District’s meeting materials document ongoing public outreach around a proposed building bond and list three informational sessions: Dec. 17, 2025; Jan. 7, 2026; and Jan. 21, 2026, all at 7 p.m. in the school forum room.
In the Superintendent’s Report included with the Jan. 12 packet, Ben Bernard said the Dec. 17 and Jan. 7 meetings had “good participation,” and the packet records attendance of about 30 and 50 people at those two meetings respectively. The superintendent asked the community to watch for mailers and to consult the district website for details; the packet states the district will provide information but will not advocate for a position on the ballot question. "It is the district’s job to inform the voters about the question; it is not our job to try to sway them either way," the report reads.
Materials direct voters to a final informational meeting on Jan. 21 and note that district staff will respond to group or individual questions. The packet also includes procedural items tied to the bond timeline—such as designating election judges and appointing an absentee ballot board—so the outreach effort is tied to an election schedule that includes a Feb. 10, 2026 special election for voters in the district.
The packet does not include a bond amount or ballot language in the excerpts provided; it focuses on outreach logistics, meeting attendance and communication channels (mailers and website).
