Dear Pine City students, families, staff and community:
As we shared previously, our district initiated an investigation into an allegation of discrimination that had been posted to the district’s Facebook page. The investigation was conducted independent of the school district and has been completed.
The school board will meet in a closed session on Monday, June 28, at 6:30 p.m. to receive the report. The meeting will be closed due to the discussion of educational data and preliminary consideration of allegations against individuals subject to the board’s authority (pursuant to Minn. Stat. §13D.05 Subd. 2(a) (3) and 2(b)).
Pending the outcome of the investigation and board discussion, the district will apply consequences as warranted and in accordance with district policy and state and federal laws. We will also share publicly the findings from the report as allowable under data privacy laws.
As always, we appreciate your understanding as we work through this process.
Sincerely,
Dr. Curt Tryggestad, superintendent

New Superintendent Selected
The Pine City Board of Education announces that Paula M. Foley has accepted the offer to become Pine City's new superintendent effective July 1, 2021. Ms. Foley has previously served as a principal, superintendent, and staff member at the Minnesota Department of Education.
The Board was pleased to have ten applicants for the position, five of whom were interviewed on Saturday, April 24th, with follow-up second interviews of finalists on the evening of April 28th. Because Ms. Foley is anxious to meet the staff and community, pending Covid guidelines, "meet & greet" sessions will be scheduled over the summer and early fall. The Board thanks the strong pool of applicants and all who helped to facilitate the process.
"My promise to the students, staff, parents, and Pine City Community is that I will listen attentively, plan proactively, and continue to build on the great work of bringing stakeholders together to grow all aspects of the Pine City Public Schools."
