Week in Review: March 27 Edition
The District 622 School Board spared teacher salaries and layoffs with the budget cut plan it passed Tuesday.
Here is a brief summary of what made news in Oakdale this past week:
- Rep. Nora Slawik and Sen. Chuck Wiger have introduced companion bills in the Minnesota Legislature that would allocate $50,000 in bond proceeds for the Oakdale Veterans’ Memorial project. Both legislators said they think the bill is more likely to pass next year, a traditional bonding year, than this year.
- The members of the Tartan High School Business Professionals of America group were last week’s Oakdale Patch Whiz Kids.
- After talk of choosing between a staff pay freeze or teacher layoffs, District 622 administrators came up with a budget cut plan that doesn’t require doing either. The School Board passed the budget cut plan at its meeting Tuesday, March 22.
- Oakdale’s Baja Sol Tortilla Grill is holding a grand reopening event April 1.
- Oakdale's Public Works Director shared snow-related numbers such as the pounds of salt and gallons of gas used during the season, and also fielded a question about potholes at the Oakdale City Council meeting Tuesday night.
- An Oakdale Cub Scouts pack suspended a volunteer’s involvement with the group due to pending criminal charges against him.
- Oakdale resident Daniel Rude has been honored for his work advocating for caregivers, like himself.
