Fridley School Board postpones appointment to fill vacancy, will reconvene June 2
Summary
The Fridley School Board voted 5-0 on May 22 to defer filling a vacant seat with the intent to resume consideration at a special meeting on June 2, 2025. The unexpired term runs through the first Monday in January 2028 and the resolution cited Minnesota Statutes §123B.09, subd. 5.
The Fridley School Board voted unanimously on May 22 to delay appointing a replacement for a vacant board seat and set a follow-up special meeting for June 2, 2025.
Board Chair Jake Karnopp opened the special meeting at 1:00 PM in the Fridley High School BoardRoom. A proposed resolution on the agenda cited Minnesota Statutes, Section 123B.09, Subd. 5, and noted the unexpired term runs through the first Monday in January, 2028, but the minutes show the resolution template left the appointee name blank and no appointment was made that day.
Avonna Cash Starck, identified in the minutes as Board Clerk, moved that the board "not fill the vacancy and adjourn the meeting at this 3:35 PM and resume at another special meeting on June 2." Nikki Auna seconded the motion. The board voted 5-0 in favor and adjourned at 3:35 PM.
The action leaves the seat open until the special meeting; the board cited the statutory appointment process in the draft resolution. The minutes do not record any formal appointment, amendment, or nomination during the May 22 session.
The board took no other final action on the vacancy at the May 22 meeting; the matter is scheduled for further consideration at the June 2 special meeting.
