Board adopts resolution placing continuing‑contract positions on unrequested leave amid financial limitations
Summary
The board adopted resolutions placing a continuing contract/tenured principal and teacher (and a partial 0.2 FTE placement) on unrequested leave of absence, citing financial limitations and citing Minn. Stat. 122A.40, subd. 10; the motions passed 7‑0.
The Alexandria Public Schools board on May 19 adopted resolutions placing a continuing contract/tenured principal and a continuing contract/tenured teacher on unrequested leave of absence, citing financial limitations. The resolution language in the minutes includes blank placeholders for the individual names; the board record states notices were sent in April and no written request for a hearing had been received by specified May dates.
The resolution text cited Minn. Stat. 122A.40, subd. 10 and specifies that placement on unrequested leave would be effective at the end of the 2024–25 school year (example: principal effective June 30, 2025) and that partial placements (0.2 FTE) for a teacher would be effective June 4, 2025. The motion to adopt the resolutions was moved by Shawn Reilly, seconded by Maureen Eigen, and the vote recorded was Ayes 7, Nays 0. The minutes direct that notice of placement and the resolution be forwarded to the affected employees and that the actions be placed in personnel files.
The board record contains the statutory citation and the procedural language for notification and filing; it does not list specific employee names in the excerpted minutes.
