Owatonna board approves consent items, calendar, policies and other routine actions
Summary
During its May 26 meeting the board approved consent minutes and reports, finalized the 2025-2026 calendar, approved policy revisions (policies 110 and 625), accepted gifts, authorized the superintendent as MDE IOwA, and established candidate filing dates. Most items passed unanimously.
The Owatonna Public School District 761 School Board handled multiple routine items on May 26, 2026, approving the consent agenda (minutes from April 27 and May 11, disbursement and personnel reports), adopting the final 2025-2026 school calendar, approving policy revisions, accepting gifts, and establishing dates for filing affidavits of candidacy. Motions on these items were recorded as passing by unanimous vote or roll call as noted in the minutes.
Specific procedural motions included approval of the consent agenda (motion by Mohs, second by Jensen), approval of the final calendar (motion by Jensen, second by Van Gelder), and approval of policy 110 and policy 625 on second reading (motion by Jensen, second by Weisenburger). The board also authorized Superintendent Tamara Champa to act as the Identified Official with Authority (IOwA) for the Minnesota Department of Education secure websites (motion by Weisenburger, second by Jensen).
Those votes completed a number of administrative tasks on the agenda; the minutes do not elaborate implementation steps or additional public comment on these items.
