Conversations about removing a forested parcel called SS-9 located on Prior Lake High School property will continue based on a divided vote at Monday's Prior Lake-Savage Area School Board meeting.

The board voted 4-3 to approve a resolution allowing up to $25,000 from the facilities budget (not the general education fund) to continue plans with city of Savage engineers. The board anticipates the total planning cost at $5,000, well below the approved amount.

Prior Lake-Savage area schools, in cooperation with Shakopee and Jordan school districts, are looking for parent and community volunteers to serve on a joint planning council that will focus on providing supportive programming and integrating minority students into the school systems.
