Ely Public School District study session lists agenda items; adjourns at 6:54 p.m.

Clerk Hollee Coombe called the study session of the School Board of Independent School District No. 696 to order in the Media Center at 5:30 p.m. on June 22, 2026. The agenda for the session listed several items for review, including a grant-writer introduction, a PTO update, a math curriculum review, an athletic facilities construction update and an update on the 2026 Minnesota legislative session from Jeff Anderson of The Costin Group. The header on the transcript notes the minutes were board-approved on July 13, 2026.

The transcript records roll call showing Directors Coombe, Colarich, Omerza and Moravitz present and Directors Westlund and Sjoberg absent. Also listed as in attendance were Anne Oelke, Superintendent/EC12 Principal; Tim Leeson, Transportation and Facilities Director; and Robert Monteith of The Timberjay. The available transcript segments do not include staff presentations, public comment or detailed discussion for the agenda items; they record the agenda entries and the meeting’s procedural actions. A motion to adjourn was moved by Director Colarich and seconded by Director Moravitz; the motion carried (vote recorded as 4–0) and the session ended at 6:54 p.m.

Because the captured transcript segments consist primarily of the meeting header, roll call, and the agenda listing, no substantive remarks, votes on agenda items, or presentation details are recorded in the provided segments. Readers seeking specifics on any agenda item — for example, text of a grant proposal, details of the math curriculum review, or the athletic facilities construction timeline and budget — should consult the meeting minutes filed with the district or contact district staff for full materials.
