The Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School Board voted to approve an MSBA resolution regarding the impact of Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) on sick-leave accrual at its Sept. 14 meeting. Shannon Pfeiffer moved to approve the resolution and Linsey McMurrin seconded; minutes record the outcome as Yea 4, Nay 1 (recorded as Shannon Pfeiffer).
The minutes show the resolution carried by a 4–1 vote. The recorded notation that Shannon Pfeiffer both moved the resolution and is listed as the Nay vote appears contradictory in the meeting minutes; the article reports the minutes as written rather than reconciling the likely recording anomaly.
The resolution reflects the Minnesota School Boards Association's model position and was presented for the board to consider potential impacts of PFML on local sick-leave policies. The minutes do not include additional discussion or statements of rationale beyond the motion and vote record.
