The New Prague Area School District Board of Education passed a resolution declaring Indigenous Peoples' Day is not a district holiday.
The resolution, read aloud by a board member, cited Minnesota Statute 645.44 subdivision 5 as the legal basis for the board’s determination that Indigenous Peoples' Day will not be recognized as a school district holiday for ISD 721. The board motion to adopt the resolution received a second and was approved during the organizational meeting; the transcript records affirmative responses for Karen, Anne, Kim, Dennis, Carrie, Jean and Dan during the roll-call sequence.
No public comment or dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript. The resolution will stand as the board’s official determination for the 2026 administrative year unless revisited by future action.
