Despite Forest Lake Area School Board members Curt Rebelein Jr. and Luke Hagglund approving the removal of the middle school’s Open Minds Club, the other five board members supported its continuance at their first meeting of the year.  

District Superintendent Steve Massey explained that the club at Forest Lake Area Middle School was created by students roughly five years ago to discuss school related issues that concerned them. It has since expanded, and now students in this club discuss topics of race, bullying, teenager issues, and LGBTQ issues, according to Massey.
