IV. PUBLIC FORUM – 6:40 PM
Open forum is a specific time set aside during school board meetings for members of the public to communicate to the board, even if they are not on the agenda. To participate in the open forum, please sign in on the clipboard before the meeting is called to order.
Guidelines for the open forum:
• When your name is called, please stand. Remember to state your name, address and the organization you represent. Please limit your comments to five minutes, with a maximum of 15 minutes per topic. These limitations needed to run a timely and orderly board meeting.
• Most information about students is also private under Minnesota law. The board cannot allow public discussion of information that could identify individual students.
• Personnel matters should not be discussed because most of those issues are private under Minnesota law. If you have a concern with a district staff member, try to resolve the issue with the individual. If you cannot resolve the issue, follow the district’s chain of command.
• The board is eager to listen to your remarks; however, board members do not debate issues that arise during the open forum. The forum is an opportunity for the citizens to speak and the board to listen. Items brought before the Board through the Public Forum may be referred either to the administration or to a board committee for further study. If issues presented at Public Forum need further Board action, the item will be placed on a future agenda with notification given to the interested party. The Board will not act on any items presented to them that are not on the agenda until the following Board meeting.
• We teach our students to be engaged, respectful citizens. We urge participants in the forum to model civil, respectful speech on topics appropriate for the forum.
V. GOOD THINGS HAPPENING
1. Thank you to Bill Lines, retired attorney, who donated excellent quality speakers which will allow us to move toward a new sound system in our HS Theatre. The donation was substantial. In addition, Bill has donated several other items from his law office including desks, chairs etc. We appreciate the fact that he thought of us when dismantling his office.
2. Letter to the editor, Mille Lacs County Times: Building trades, class professional (See Enclosure #1 on the website)
This is to acknowledge a group of young men in the community and their instructor who we have been fortunate to have at our residence the past month and a half building a garage for us. Weather permitting, they were here each school day during their class period. The young men are students at Milaca High School who are in the building trades class under the instruction of Mr. Tony Vesledahl. They were a very hard working group of gentlemen, each with neat personalities and who were fun to have around. They also worked. The garage (now built) is standing proof of their workmanship. What a great job. They were all polite, courteous and set an example that made us proud. Thanks to Matthew Anderson, Theodore Athman, Samuel Barland, Zachary Bryant, Michael Crain, Richard Erickson, Tyler Evensen, Jeffrey Knapp, Andrew Majerus, Michael Paxton, Brandt Rohman, Jessy Schlag, Blake Swearengin, Dennis Taute and Mr. Tony Vesledahl. We will miss them not being around every morning around 10:30 or so. We met some very nice young men - every one of them. The students showed a lot of respect toward Mr. Vesledahl and Mr. Vesledahl has certainly earned our respect also for the professional manner in which the project was accomplished. Wes and Carol Johnson, Milaca

XI. ADJOURNMENT
So, How Are The Children?
This is a traditional greeting among the African Masai Tribe acknowledging the high value that the Masai place on their children’s well-being. Even warriors with no children of their own give the traditional answer. “All the children are well.” Meaning, that peace and safety prevail, that the priorities of protecting the young, and the powerless are in place, and that we have not forgotten our reason for being, our proper functions and responsibilities. “All the children are well” means that life is good.
Speech by Rev Patrick T. O’Neill

So, How Are The Children?
This is a traditional greeting among the African Masai Tribe acknowledging the high value that the Masai place on their children’s well-being. Even warriors with no children of their own give the traditional answer. “All the children are well.” Meaning, that peace and safety prevail, that the priorities of protecting the young, and the powerless are in place, and that we have not forgotten our reason for being, our proper functions and responsibilities. “All the children are well” means that life is good.
