Waconia paraprofessional earns associations' top honor

Amanda Phenix, a special education paraprofessional in Waconia Public Schools, is Education Minnesota’s 2026-2027 ESP of the Year. The winner was announced Oct. 24 at reception in St. Paul. Phenix has worked in the Waconia Public Schools for 21 years. As a special education paraprofessional, she works directly with students on Individualized Education Plans to meet the education goals established by their case manager and special education team. She does this through intentional engagement with students, checking in on their emotional and physical health throughout the day, and collaborating with teachers to shape lessons that meet students where they are at. Phenix says that building trust is one of the most important pieces of her job. “Building positive, lasting relationships with students in this setting is not optional—it’s essential,” she said. “It can take weeks, even months, to earn their trust. But once it’s there … students begin to open up, show up differently, and find success academically, socially, and emotionally.” Phenix’s colleagues praise her versatility and patience. Paul Tordoff, special education director at Waconia Public Schools, said Phenix “possesses a unique combination of compassion, expertise, and unwavering patience that makes her an ideal fit for our Waconia Middle School

Highway 610 renamed in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman

Members of the Hortman family joined state lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz for the unveiling of new signage designating Highway 610 as Hortman Memorial Highway — in honor of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. The highway runs through the district Hortman served, which encompasses parts of Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and Champlin. The Hortmans’ children, Colin and Sophie, were among the family members who were at the Nov. 5 dedication in Brooklyn Park. “I hope that every time someone drives down Highway 610 and sees Melissa and Mark’s names, they’ll remember the lives they lived, the people they loved, and all they gave to Minnesota,” Walz wrote in a statement. At the ceremony, Walz noted Speaker Emerita Hortman played a "pivotal role" in securing funding for Highway 610. The new name was made official during the most recent legislative session, when Minnesota lawmakers tasked the transportation commissioner with adopting “a suitable design” to display on signage along the thoroughfare. Sen. John Hoffman sponsored the legislation to rename the highway, along with Rep. Erin Koegel. Hoffman spoke at the Nov. 5 dedication, where he highlighted Hortman's various contributions to the communities the highway passes through. "On the

ISD 728 weighs facility options after referendum defeat

Unofficial results from all 34 precincts showed 20,925 voters, or 55.46%, opposed the proposal, compared with 16,807 voters, or 44.54%, who supported it. The 4,118-vote margin left the district facing the challenge of addressing needs that Superintendent Andy Almos says remain even though the proposal did not receive enough support to move forward. “While we are disappointed, we respect the voters’ decision,” Almos said in a written response to the Star News. “We now need to listen carefully, understand the concerns that shaped the outcome, determine a path forward, and understand the tradeoffs of not moving this proposal.” Almos said he was encouraged by the community’s engagement and the questions raised during the district’s information process. He was hopeful heading into Election Day but did not take the outcome for granted. The result, he said, does not necessarily indicate which parts of the proposal voters opposed or what concerns ultimately determined the outcome. “It tells us this particular proposal did not receive enough support,” he said. “The result alone does not tell us whether the deciding concern was cost, the combination of projects, timing or something else.” The proposal included up to $350 million in bonds and a 10-year capital
