WASHINGTON — The nation bid goodbye to George H.W. Bush with high praise, cannon salutes and gentle humor Wednesday, celebrating the life of the Texan who embraced a lifetime of service in Washington and was the last president to fight for the U.S. in wartime. Three former presidents looked on at Washington National Cathedral as a fourth — George W. Bush — eulogized his dad as "the brightest of a thousand points of light." After three days of remembrance in the capital city, the Air Force plane with Bush's casket left for a final service in Ho...
Minnesota officials are considering mail-only ballots for the state’s 2020 presidential primary, which would be a dramatic change from the state’s often chaotic and time-consuming party caucuses. Beginning in 2020, Minnesota will switch to a more straightforward primary system that allows voters to cast ballots for their preferred choice for president rather than jam into classrooms and community centers for their party caucuses. Most other states use a primary system, but Minnesota has done so only a handful of times. http:...

A new case of chronic wasting disease (CWD) was detected outside of the core outbreak area, one day after the Department of Natural Resources announced a stepped-up program to control the spread of the disease. The two-year-old “presumptive positive” buck was harvested Nov. 17 on private land in far northern Houston County, 9.5 miles from the Wisconsin border. The site is 31 miles from Preston, the epicenter of Minnesota’s largest outbreak of CWD in wild deer, and 25 miles from the nearest deer linked to the outbreak. http:/...
MADISON, Wis. — The incoming Democratic governor of Wisconsin said Wednesday that he plans to make a personal appeal to his defeated rival, Gov. Scott Walker, to veto far-reaching GOP legislation that would strip the new administration of some powers. If that doesn't work, he might sue. Wisconsin Republicans pushed through protests, internal disagreement and Democratic opposition to pass the bills after an all-night session. The measures would shift power to the GOP-controlled Legislature and weaken the authority of the office Republicans w...

On November 21, 2018, the Minnesota Supreme Court, in reversing the appellate court, ruled in Fenrich v. The Blake School that a school could be held liable after a student driving a personal vehicle to a postseason weekend athletic meet caused a fatal accident. The Court of Appeals had granted summary judgment for The Blake School, determining no issues of material fact existed and the school was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. In the Fenrich case, a 16-year-old high-school student drove some of his cross-country teammates and a volun...
About this time of year, MSBA gets several questions about when to give the oath of office to newly elected board members. Sometimes there is confusion because we do offer the legal Oath and Acceptance of Office form, as well as a Ceremonial Oath of Office. The legal oath form is the one all superintendents, boards and clerks should be most concerned about. After a candidate returns the Certificate of Election form (which most people have probably returned by now), the candidate should sign the legal Oath and Acceptance of Office form in front...
