The board adopted a resolution to hold a public hearing on a proposed school closure, setting the hearing for 6:00 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, at the Canyon Wanamingo Elementary School media center. The resolution instructs the clerk to publish notice in the district’s official newspaper for two consecutive weeks, with the final publication at least one week before the hearing.
The resolution cites Minnesota Statutes (school‑closing provisions) and describes the need to notify the public of the hearing and reasons for the proposed closing. “Resolution providing for a public hearing on closing a schoolhouse,” the clerk read during the assembly before conducting a roll call; the motion was adopted by roll call, with each member recorded voting aye.
The board noted that the hearing is formal notice and not a decision on closure; the hearing will allow public testimony and require materials prepared by the superintendent for presentation.
