After weeks of planning, a community task force has made a recommendation to District 742 to build a new Tech High School at a different location.

District 742 superintendent Willie Jett is pledging improvements at Talahi, Discovery and Madison schools.

The Minnesota Department of Education Multiple Measurement Ratings says that three St. Cloud area schools aren't doing enough to close the achievement gap.

Renovations were needed over the summer to update and fix the nearly 100-year-old Tech High School.

The St. Cloud area school district is planning to raise taxes by $3.1 million in order to pay for expansion of several local schools and an energy program upgrade.

The District 742 Local Education and Activities Foundation (LEAF) has announced the official kickoff of the "Adopt a Classroom Project" for 2014.
