Football playoffs: Irish, Cougars advance to quarterfinals

Class 6A teams now playing for trips to U.S. Bank Stadium Rosemount defensive coordinator Parc Williams watched with admiration as the Irish offense plowed through St. Michael-Albertville for yet another first down. “I’m loving this,” he said. With good reason. Rosemount’s offense was giving Williams’ defense an extended break, and it was bleeding the clock in the second half as the Irish finished off a one-sided 35-7 victory in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs Nov. 6. St. Michael-Albertville (4-6) shut out three of its previous four opponents, but Rosemount (7-3) quickly eliminated that possibility by driving 72 yards in 10 plays – all on the ground – for a touchdown on the game’s first possession. The Irish kept on rolling, gaining 430 yards – 347 on the ground – in reaching the state quarterfinals for the first time since 2023 and 14th time overall. They will play Prior Lake at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at Maple Grove High School. With Rosemount’s rushing game dominating, that meant the Irish offensive linemen were having a good time. “It’s a great offense to block for,” said senior Max Meger, the Irish’s center. “Of course, it’s fun running down

Comprehensive Assessment and Civil Readiness Plan The School Board approved the district’s annual Comprehensive Assessment and Civil Readiness Plan. Director of Teaching and Learning Jennifer Kelly said the CACR examines school test scores, graduation rates and makes goals for the next school year. “We've had some unfortunate years where we needed to make some hard decisions, and so that systemically just has an impact on things that happen within our educational system. We've had some real reading challenges,” Kelly said. But one of the goals the district met was increasing the graduation rate. It increased from 94.1% to 97.3% for the class of 2025, which met the CACR’s goal of a 2.8% increase.

Council approves final plat for Seat Cover Solutions expansion

MONTICELLO — Plans for a new Seat Cover Solutions warehouse and processing facility in Monticello's Otter Creek Business Park took another step forward Monday, Nov. 9, when the City Council approved the project's final plat and development agreement. The approval follows the council's Oct. 26 approval of a preliminary plat for the project, which calls for a 110,000-square-foot facility representing an investment of approximately $11 million. Seat Cover Solutions imports, sells and distributes custom-fit vehicle seat covers throughout the United States and internationally. The project was initially proposed as a 55,000-square-foot facility before plans were expanded to 110,000 square feet. The city currently owns the property and must consent to the development agreement. The developer will purchase the land after the final plat is recorded. The development agreement establishes the terms and conditions for the project, including required fees and financial securities. Final plat approval remains subject to the requirements and conditions established during preliminary plat approval.

Maple Plain OKs assessment for reconstruction project

The Maple Plain City Council approved a special assessment as part of the 2026 Downtown Reconstruction Project at its Oct. 26 meeting. It was another difficult vote for the councilmembers in attendance, but all four were in favor of the assessment, which will help pay for improvements to infrastructure originally built between 1930 and 1960. “This is my 12th year as an elected and my seventh assessment hearing, and I’d say they’re always the hardest for me,” said Maple Plain Mayor Julie Maas-Kusske. “Knowing that every single person sitting in this room will be assessed at one point or another; it is not easy, it is hard, and I know everyone works hard for every dollar they have.” The city can assess specials at a rate of between 20 and 50 percent but has traditionally tried to split the difference at around 35 percent. “In particular with this project, the city covered everything we possibly could,” the mayor said. Most of the pavement throughout the project area has deteriorated to the point that traditional maintenance is no longer effective. Additionally, water main pipes are fragile and subject to breaks, according to a staff report. Also, the sewer pipes are susceptible

Special education cooperative explores expansion in Monticello

MONTICELLO — A special education cooperative serving three area school districts is exploring an expansion at the Minnesota Workforce Center in Monticello to accommodate students with intensive needs and potentially bring more of its specialized programs under one roof. The Sherburne Northern Wright Special Education Cooperative, which serves Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, is conducting preliminary assessments of available space at the facility, where most of its programs for students requiring the highest levels of support are already housed. John Weekley, the cooperative’s director of special education, outlined the space challenges during an Oct. 19 presentation to the Monticello School Board. The cooperative hopes to relocate Foundations 1, an elementary program for students with significant emotional and behavioral needs, from Monticello Middle School to the Pathways Education Center at the Workforce Center facility. Foundations 2, which serves secondary students with similar needs, is already located there, along with several other specialized programs. Weekley said bringing the programs together could improve access to specialized instruction, behavioral support and shared staffing resources. “Having more options to support student needs is very important,” he told the board. “It allows us to be really fiscally responsible as well.” The cooperative is also examining whether
