The Independent School District 882 school board (Monticello Public School District) on Nov. 8, 2024, unanimously adopted a resolution canvassing the Nov. 5 general election returns and declared Jeff Hagley, Mary Bartel and Jamie Seben elected to four‑year terms beginning the first Monday in January 2025.
The clerk read the resolution declaring that “the general election of the voters of the school district held on 11/05/2024 was in all respects, duly and legally called and held,” and read the abstract of returns listing vote totals: Jeff Hagley 5,026; Mary Bartel 4,166; Jamie Seben 3,931; Kathy Ziebart 3,895; Sandy Lichty 3,355. The board voted 5‑0 to adopt the canvass.
The board then adopted a second resolution authorizing the chair and the school district clerk to execute certificates of election on behalf of the board and to deliver the certificates after the statutory period for contesting the election has passed and after candidates have filed required campaign‑finance reports under Minnesota Statutes chapter 211A. The clerk was directed to enclose with each certificate an acceptance-of-office and an oath-of-office form in substantially the attached form.
Board procedure on both items was recorded on the meeting’s consent actions. The motions to adopt both resolutions were moved and seconded on the record; each measure passed unanimously, 5‑0. The special meeting was adjourned at 6:05 a.m.
The votes and the board’s authorization of certificates complete the local canvassing and set the administrative steps for issuing certificates and onboarding newly elected members in January.
