Park Rapids board adopts 10-year facility maintenance plan and sets adult meal prices for 2025–26
Summary
At its July 21 meeting the Park Rapids Area School Board approved a resolution adopting a 10-year long-term facility maintenance plan and set adult breakfast and lunch prices for 2025–26 at $3.10 and $5.50, respectively; the board also approved a package of consent items including personnel changes.
The Park Rapids Area School Board on July 21 approved a resolution adopting School District No. 309’s 10-year Long-Term Facility Maintenance (LTFM) plan and set adult school meal prices for the 2025–26 school year.
The board approved the LTFM resolution on a roll-call vote after a motion by Member Hoyt and second by Member Morgan. The minutes record the motion and that the vote was taken; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally in the provided text.
Separately, the board approved new adult meal prices for the coming school year: adult breakfast will be $3.10 and adult lunch will be $5.50. The price motion was moved by Member Kocka and seconded by Member Pike.
The meeting record shows a broad consent package was also approved (motion Hoyt/Morgan). Items in the consent agenda included approval of the July 8 working meeting minutes; acceptance of donations; approval of payments presented for July 2025; multiple personnel items (resignations, a reduction in hours for a Community Education secretary, the hiring of a food service secretary, and coach volunteer approvals); and first readings of the coaches manual and employee and substitute handbooks for 2025–26. Resignations recorded in the consent items included Sara Maanum (Food Service Secretary), Danielle Brakefield (Paraprofessional, effective end of September 2025), Jodi Sullivan (Recess Monitor) and Angela Mattern (Custodian, addendum). The consent items also recorded approval to reduce Tammy Boyd’s Community Education secretary hours from 40 to 30 per week effective Sept. 2, 2025, and the hire of Amy Sorensen as Food Service Secretary.
The board acknowledged a retirement addendum: Laura MacPherson’s retirement after 20 years of service was accepted with regret and thanks (motion Morgan/Kocka).
What happens next: the LTFM plan approval places the district on the adopted planning schedule for long-term maintenance; the minutes do not specify immediate funding allocations or a project-by-project spending schedule. Meal price changes apply for the 2025–26 school year as listed. The meeting adjourned at 6:36 p.m.
