Since last spring’s unsuccessful referendum, we’ve worked closely with our community to streamline the facilities plan. The new proposal is 40% smaller and far more affordable, with a 75% lower tax impact for the median taxpayer.
The $19.9 million February 10, 2026, Building Bond Referendum addresses our district’s most pressing educational, safety, and facility needs.
Follow along with us as the district will be sharing more information in the coming weeks.

Big things for our CTE Department in Nashville this week! Our teachers, Savanah Walsh, Hailey Jensen, Bobbi Jo Haakinson, and Christa Shutter, are soaking up the Association for Career and Technical Educators (ACTE) and the National Association for Agriculture Educators (NAAE) Conventions. Our teachers have been busy building connections with educators around the country and advancing their skills to take home to their students.
Hailey Jensen also earned the Teacher Turn the Key award and has been participating in that program all week with Agriculture Educators from around the country. Proud of the work happening in CTE and excited to bring the inspiration home to Osakis Public School!
Congratulations, Head Football Coach Bill Infanger, on being honored as Coach of the Week by the Minnesota Vikings. Coaches are chosen based on their contribution on the football field, but more importantly, on the impact they make within their community and for their student-athletes. In addition to being recognized for their achievement, the school's football program received a $1000 donation on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings. https://www.vikings.com/community/high-school-football/coach-of-the-week
