Elm River Township School Board reports five new enrollments, to negotiate administrative assistant proposal

At a Sept. 16 meeting in Winona, the Elm River Township School Board said five new students had enrolled, bringing the district—nrollment total to eight. The board also agreed to negotiate with a candidate for an administrative assistant position and noted that the school rt room floor work is complete but wall outlets need to be replaced.

The board recorded the enrollment figure during the New Business portion of the meeting. The minutes state only the enrollment change ("ERTSD enrolled 5 new students. Current enrollment up to 8") and do not specify the students ge ranges, grades or the source of the enrollments.

On personnel, the minutes list a proposal involving Terry Lajeunesse for an administrative assistant role. After discussion the board "agreed to negotiate" with Lajeunesse; the minutes do not include proposed terms, salary, or a timeline for completing negotiations.

Regarding facilities, board members noted the art room floor is finished. The minutes say outlets need to be added on the walls "to replace the old ones," but do not identify a contractor or funding source for that electrical work.

Procedural items at the start of the meeting included a motion by Board member Jim Plutchak to approve the agenda, seconded by Joyce Pirhonen, and a motion by Pirhonen to approve prior minutes, seconded by Plutchak; both motions were recorded as carried. The board set its next meeting for Oct. 21 at 6 p.m.

The meeting referenced a teacher report with the note "See Teacher Report," but no details from that report were transcribed in the minutes.
