District 742

Some changes are in store for District 742 starting next year.

Americans waste a lot of food, to the tune of billions of pounds a year and District 742 is trying to help tackle the issue locally.

It looks like the St. Cloud Area School District will be taking another shot at remodeling the 49-year-old Apollo High School in 2020.

St. Cloud School District Board Chairman Jeff Pollreis joined me on WJON today. He indicated that the board plans a February retreat and a decision on what they'll do with the old Wilson Elementary building could come from that. All options means they could rent it out again, sell it or find a use for it in the district.

Minnesota lawmakers are trying to reform the special education system in the state to try to shave time spent doing paperwork.

Technology has seen a few upgrades since they built the old Technical High School, and the new Tech High School is reaping the benefits.

A long-time member of the St. Cloud School Board, Jerry Von Korff, and the St. Cloud NAACP plan to sue the state over the lack of adequate funding over special education.

There's a new face of the District 742 School Board -- Jeff Pollreis takes the reigns after Al Dahlgren served two years in the position.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it... District 742 is going with "Tiger Stadium" for the name of the stadium being built out at the new Tech High School.

St. Cloud School Superintendent Willie Jett joined me on WJON today. Superintendent Jett says he and the school board will discuss what will become of the former Wilson Elementary building within the coming months but the school is not currently for sale. The will look at all options as to what to do with that building.
