School board adopts standing resolution directing administration to recommend program and position reductions
Summary
Citing district finances, the board passed a standing resolution directing administration to identify potential program or position discontinuances and to recommend which teacher contracts might not be renewed or be placed on unrequested leave; the motion passed unanimously.
The Chisago Lakes School Board on Jan. 5 adopted a standing resolution directing the superintendent and administration to consider discontinuing or curtailing programs and positions as a means of reducing expenditures and to make recommendations to the board about which teachers’ contracts might need to be terminated or placed on unrequested leave.
Member Lori Berg introduced the resolution, which cited the district’s financial condition as the basis for the directive. The resolution was seconded by Brenda Carlson and approved by roll call with all six members voting in favor. The motion does not itself terminate contracts; it directs administration to prepare recommendations for future board consideration.
The resolution establishes a formal process for the district to identify cost-saving measures tied to personnel and program changes; the administration will report its recommendations to the board for deliberation and any subsequent action.
