Detroit Lakes school board re‑elects John Steffl as chair; Mary Rotter chosen vice‑chair
Summary
At its Jan. 6 reorganizational meeting the Detroit Lakes Public Schools board elected John Steffl as chair and Mary Rotter as vice‑chair by acclamation; Julie Smith‑Yliniemi and Michelle Okeson were elected clerk and treasurer, respectively.
The Detroit Lakes Public Schools board reorganized its leadership for 2025 on Jan. 6, electing John Steffl as board chair by acclamation and naming Mary Rotter vice‑chair after nominations during the meeting.
Rotter nominated Steffl for chair, and Michelle Okeson nominated Rotter for vice‑chair; the minutes record both officers were elected "by acclamation." Julie Smith‑Yliniemi was nominated for board clerk and Michelle Okeson was elected treasurer after a nomination from Sanford Nelson. The minutes include an apparent transcription inconsistency when they state a different name ('Thomas') in one line for the clerk election; the official roll call and signature line identify Julie Smith‑Yliniemi as clerk.
