District 742

With pedestrian road deaths at a 25-year high in Minnesota, MnDOT is partnering with local communities to teach drivers and walkers how to handle crosswalks.

The new Tech High School's site is now about five-acres bigger. At Thursday night's District 742 board meeting, they approved the purchase of a plot of land next to the school, that would provide a few different benefits.

The W.K Kellogg Foundation has given the St. Cloud Area School District almost $1-million to fund a project at Discovery and Talahi Schools.

The new Tech High School's site is starting to take shape a little over a month after the initial groundbreaking.

After starting construction earlier this year, District 742's Quarryview Early Education Center has fallen a month behind schedule, however, the district is taking steps to ensure it opens on time.

A way to instantly screen visitors to District 742 schools is being implemented district-wide.

Low-income students in St. Cloud are getting extra help to take part in District 742's extra-curricular activities.

Enrollment is up in the St. Cloud area school district. Total enrollment this school year is at 10,147, which is 286 students more than they had last year. However, it is still fewer students than they had in 2014 and 2015.

By some estimates, there could be as many as 31 million open trade jobs in the United States by 2020.

St. Cloud teachers have voted to accept a new, two-year contract agreement with District 742. The contract covers the 2017 through 2019 school years.
