Fairmont School Board Approves Moving Forward with Two Question Referendum

The Fairmont School Board has unanimously approved moving forward with a two-question building referendum and the vote is set for February 9th, 2027. The first question asks voters to approve 9-point-75 million dollars for health, safety and security improvements at the elementary and high schools. Projects include exterior repairs, a more secure high school entrance, locker room updates and replacement of failing wastewater pipes.The second question seeks an additional 11-point-64 million dollars for classroom and restroom additions, expanded space for music and arts programs, and flooring improvements.The second question can only pass if the first is approved. For a home valued at 200-thousand dollars, the estimated tax impact would be 4-dollars and 33-cents monthly for the first question, or 6-dollars and 40-cents if both pass. The previous 21-point-7-million-dollar referendum failed in 2025. Board members say the new proposal breaks the projects into two questions to give voters more flexibility. Early and mail-in voting begins December 25th, with Election Day February 9th. In other business, the district announced students in its Habitat for Humanity project will build a garage addition instead of an entire home. The board also heard that the district met or is on track to meet five of its seven Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness goals.

HAPPY BUT NOT SATISFIED: Bluejays once again enter state playoffs with top south seed

After a thrilling comeback victory in the Section 3AAA championship, the Waseca Bluejays were obviously ecstatic making a return trip to the state tournament. But senior captain Brady McKenna made it clear in the huddle after the game: "I'm happy, I'm not satisfied. We got a lot of work to do." The Jays' season looked to be in doubt in the section title game against the Tri-City United Titans on Friday, Nov. 6 in New Ulm. They were trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter, but they ended up scoring 14 unanswered points to punch their return ticket to state and get revenge over TCU in dramatic fashion. The Titans handed the Jays their only defeat in the regular season. Waseca's second straight 3AAA championship comes after a remarkable 2025 season that saw them go undefeated in the regular season and finish the season as the Class AAA runners-up. Now, there is no doubt that Waseca looks to continue their season for a few more weeks, hoping to make it back to the state championship game. "I'm really happy," McKenna told the Waseca County News after the section championship about the teams' goals past that. "We got a plan, it's just
