Aitkin board agenda lists certification of 2025 special election and canvass resolution

The Aitkin Public School District School Board met Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, at 7:30 a.m. Central in the District Office Conference Room, 306 Second Street NW, Aitkin. The published agenda included an item to "Certify the 2025 Special Election" and a related subitem to "Approve the Resolution Canvassing Returns of Votes of the School District Special Election." The meeting attendance list shows four members present and three absent.

The meeting materials and agenda text establish that certification and canvassing were scheduled for consideration; however, the provided transcript contains only the agenda entries and the roll-call attendance text. It does not record any motion, second, roll-call vote, or final action to certify the election or to adopt the canvassing resolution. Because no vote or outcome appears in the supplied transcript, the formal result of that agenda item is not contained in the record provided here.

The agenda's attendance line lists Jen Burgos (Absent); Roland Hill (Present); Cindi Hills (Present); Rev. Dawn Houser (Absent); Brian Leitinger (Absent); Holly Mindrum (Present); and Kassie Peterson (Present), with a summary line of Present: 4, Absent: 3. The certification appears as item 5.A.1 and the canvass resolution as 5.A.1.a on the agenda. The agenda also lists standard procedural items (call to order, pledge, roll call, approval of the agenda) and item 6, "Adjourn." The supplied transcript ends with the agenda listing and does not show further proceedings, motions, or votes.

If the board took a formal vote or adopted a resolution to certify the special election, that action and any signed resolution should appear in the official minutes or in a posted resolution after the meeting. The transcript excerpt supplied for this report does not include those documents or a recorded outcome.
