Board accepts May donations, including Lions Club gifts for playground and color run funding
Summary
The board unanimously adopted a resolution accepting multiple May 2026 donations—major items include $1,000 from the Lions Club for playground equipment, $1,424.42 from Felling Trailers to FFA, and several gifts supporting post-prom and the elementary Color Run.
The Long Prairie‑Grey Eagle School Board adopted a resolution accepting donations for May 2026, citing Minnesota Statutes 123B.02 and 465.03 as authority for accepting gifts and grants.
The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, lists donors and designated purposes: Lions Club of Long Prairie donated $1,000 for elementary playground equipment; Felling Trailers, Inc. gave $1,424.42 for FFA; CentraCare donated $400 for the elementary Color Run; and multiple other donors contributed sums for post-prom, scholarships and Color Run activities. The resolution language states the board "gratefully accepts the following donations as identified below." The vote on adoption recorded Aye from Gohman, Hollenkamp, Levin, Wolf, Wright, Zahnow and Zastrow; Nay: 0.
Board policy requires a two‑thirds majority to accept certain grants or real property under the cited statutes; the board recorded the vote and declared the resolution duly adopted. The transcript does not list dollar totals for every item (some were listed, some were not), and administrators will process the gifts according to donor designations and district procedures.
