North Branch Board hears of
mechanic instruction at bus barn
 | North Branch administration and the 4.0 Student Services transportation provider are putting together a new program for students enrolled in mechanic programs at the high school. As part of the latest contract with 4 Point-O there is a clause for providing workshop/lab space at the bus garage, for students enrolled in mechanics courses. The bus garage is directly across Grand Avenue from the high school; and Finance Director Todd Tetzlaff remarked that students who have been driving to Pine Technical College in Pine City for lab learning will soon just have to go across the street.

| Legislative action on
'Parents Bill of Rights' | Discussion has started to heat-up at the legislature, regarding “parents’ rights” when it comes to education. The MN Republican caucus in a press conference last week, spoke about how steps must be taken adopting new statute language to clarify and empower the role that parents play in their child’s education. They stated their impression that school district officials need more guidance under existing laws, and also need new mandates for allegedly failing to provide budgets and classroom reading lists, and not making parents aware of information that’s available. And, one bill prohibits collecting speakers’ addresses at School Board for open mic. Friday, February 25, 2022
