Lester Prairie council schedules Aug. 12 meeting after school contract discussion

The Lester Prairie City Council discussed a school contract during a July 27 workshop and scheduled its August council meeting for Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026. The workshop agenda also included other business.

The workshop began at 5 p.m. at the Lester Prairie Media Center, 131 Hickory Street North, in Lester Prairie. The discussion involved the city and the Lester Prairie Public School District, putting the contract on the council’s public schedule without producing a final action announced by the city.

The city has not disclosed the contract’s financial terms or the council’s position. No approval, rejection or amendment was announced. That means the discussion remains preliminary: the contract may affect municipal services or finances, but the public notice does not establish what the agreement would cost, change or require.

The Aug. 12 council meeting is the next known step and the next public opportunity for residents, taxpayers and school-district families to learn whether the issue advances. Any decision or revision would still need to be identified through council action; the scheduled meeting itself is not an approval of the contract.
