Group voices concerns at packed board meeting

A group of concerned citizens voiced their concerns about the direction of the New Prague Area School Board during the Open Forum portion of a board meeting Monday, March 28.

Those speaking in front of a packed board room expressed concern about the board members' actions in recent months, including an alleged violation of the state's open meeting law, lack of action when a staff member allegedly illegally intercepted disclosed the contents of an email from another employee and charges that the board overstepped its role as defined by the Minnesota School Board's Association.

An attorney for the district addressed the concerns, saying that all allegations were baseless or vague.
