Special Meeting Notice: In this week's edition of the Long Prairie Leader, the Long Prairie-Grey Eagle School provided notice of a special meeting scheduled to take place tomorrow, Thursday at 6 p.m. in the District Board Room with only one item on the agenda: the Discussion of and possible action regarding an interim Superintendent. Also of note, the LPGE teacher's union has also called for a meeting with the board's meet and confer committee. This will take place tonight at 5 p.m. in the High School Auditorium. This meeting is also open to the public. No action will be taken as this is a committee meeting only. According to representatives from the teacher's union, the meet and confer meeting was originally going to take place next week until it was learned that a special meeting for tomorrow had been called. The Union had previously requested a meet and confer after the non renewal of Superintendent Daniel Ludvigson, but the LPGE School Board had yet to assign new representatives to the committee after the resignations of Steven Hinson and Stacey Lux. This committee meeting will focus on workplace environment.
