Cloquet football hopes to take a step forward after last season’s late spark
Cloquet’s football team is hoping to turn last year’s late-season spark into a strong start for the 2026 Lumberjacks. Last season started rough for Cloquet, dropping their first four games and losing their lead running back Jack Horvat to a season-ending injury. But the Lumberjacks bounced back, winning their next three games in a row. That late surge put them in the mix for a home playoff game for the first time since 2022.

School board offers sign-on bonus for paraprofessionals
The Hayward Community Schools Board voted Monday to approve a $500 sign-on bonus for new paraprofessional staff after learning that the school district currently has five paraprofessional vacancies. “The toughest challenge is in special education para roles,” said Supt. Mark Berquist. “If we don’t get some people in there, it will create some bigger challenges and in my opinion it’s not best for kids.” Also, any district employee who recommended a person that was subsequently hired as a paraprofessional would receive $500 after the para completed 90 days of employment. In other actions Monday, the board: —Approved a snow-plowing bid from Shane Kreyer LLC for the years 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29. —Passed a resolution authorizing the transfer of funds into an escrow account for the defeasance of general obligation refunding bonds incurred in the referendum renovations to school buildings dated June 16, 2022. This account enables the school district to pay off their building bond debt early, saving $928,754 in interest costs over the life of the debt. The combined total savings to the taxpayers is approximately $1.83 million from the defeasance in 2025 and 2026. —Accepted the resignations of Jana Hillstrom, 4K paraprofessional; Andrea Place, intermediate school library aide;
