Lake of the Woods board rescinds prior approval of bond-election resolution

The Lake of the Woods School District board voted 5–0 on July 2, 2025, to rescind its prior approval of Resolution 2024/25-38, which had called an election to authorize school building bonds and to approve a capital project levy authorization.

Board members Jarm Hack moved to rescind the approval and Nate Hayes seconded the motion. The board conducted a roll call vote in which Boyd Johnson, Jarm Hack, Craig Severs, Nate Hayes and Kayla Johnson voted yes; Robin Sonstagard was recorded as absent. The clerk announced the motion passed 5–0 with one member not present.

Why it matters: rescinding the earlier approval of a bond-election resolution alters the district's timeline and formal authorization to place a school‑building bond and capital project levy before voters. The change means the board will need to decide whether to reintroduce a revised resolution or pursue a different timeline for voter authorization.

What the board recorded: the motion text was introduced under old business as a request to rescind approval of Resolution 2024/25-38, described in the meeting as "calling an election to authorize the issuance of school building bonds and approve a capital project levy authorization." The motion maker and seconder were recorded on the meeting audio, and the roll call names were read and recorded by the clerk.

Next steps: the board did not schedule a follow-up vote on a replacement resolution during the session. The rescission clears the previously approved authorization; any new action on a bond election would require a future formal agenda item and a new vote.
