V. 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 School board is eager to listen to your remarks; however, board members are not able to 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 answered immediately if the information is known, or referred either to the administration or to a board committee for further study. If issues presented at Public Forum need further Board action and are unrelated to the current meeting agenda, the item will be placed on a future Board for action.
- We urge participants in the forum to model civil, respectful speech on topics appropriate for the forum. Thank you so much for your willingness to present your thoughts and questions to us. (See School District Policy 206 Public Participation in School board Meetings for further information. This policy, in its entirety, can be found under Policies on the School District Web site.)

4. Thank you to Nikki Sichler for the help she provided in entering parent emails into the email system.
5. Congratulations expressed to both Jerry and Lou Palmquist who recently passed the state test and each received his/her Chief boiler license. A person only qualifies to be able to take this test after so many years of working on boilers. Then, prior to the test, a person has quite a good deal of studying to do. Lou and Jerry spent many hours of their own personal time to achieve this milestone.
6. Letter received by Troy Anderson:
Hello Principal Anderson,
I had the opportunity to spend the day working with band students at Milaca H. S. last Friday, and I wanted to express to you what an enjoyable experience that was and how impressed I was with both the music program and the school environment in general.
I have known for several years that Andy Nelson has built an outstanding band program at Milaca, but it was very gratifying to see firsthand the skills displayed by individual students and the enthusiasm for learning which made them so enjoyable to work with.
After interacting with students and talking with Andy, I found that Milaca High School is a very nurturing and positive environment for young people, with regard to both instruction and character building. The friendship and support displayed among students and between teacher and student is remarkable. Congratulations to you and your staff for your exemplary school.
Best wishes,
Dr. Al Moore
Professor of trumpet and horn

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
