Three newly elected board members—Erica Foster, Kelsey Dawson, and Keith Tate—were sworn in at the start of the meeting held at the Educational Service Center. Before taking the oath, board members heard a statement from the Minnesota Schoolboard Association emphasizing their legal and moral responsibility to ensure "equitable quality education of every student in our district."

The board then unanimously elected its officers for 2025. Tanya Prince was elected chairperson in a 6-0 vote, with Director Brooks noting her collaborative work with previous leadership and commitment to the district's mission. Prince pledged to "ensure all board member voices are heard and that we continue to make decisions in the best interest of our district." Thomas Brooks was elected vice chair, also unanimously, with Prince praising him as a senior board member who "exemplifies" the board's values of collaboration and inclusion. Keith Tate was elected clerk and Sarah Mitchell was elected treasurer, both by unanimous votes.

The board approved compensation levels for 2025, maintaining the same rates as 2024: $1,350 per month for the board chair and $1,250 per month for all other members. These amounts include a $50 monthly reimbursement for in-district mileage and incidental expenses. The board also unanimously approved the roster of representatives for various school board committees and joint boards for 2025. Newly elected Chair Prince acknowledged the substantial commitment required, noting that every board member serves on at least two committees.

The board reviewed its operating protocols—including resolution and agenda-setting procedures—as informational items requiring no action. Following the organizational meeting, the board held a public work session in the Forum room at the Educational Service Center.
