School board to be sworn in Jan. 6, discuss Dwivedy’s replacement

The Eden Prairie School Board will take the oath of office during its annual organizational meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 6, at the district’s Administrative Services Center.

Four current members will remain on the board: Steve Bartz, Aaron Casper, Abby Libsack, and Kim Ross, who was recently reelected. Two new members, Ann Bradsher and Jody Ward-Rannow, will replace outgoing members Charles “C.J.” Strehl and Dennis Stubbs.

The board is expected to discuss options for temporarily replacing member Debjyoti “DD” Dwivedy, who recently took a leave of absence. At its Dec. 9 meeting, the board considered asking Strehl or Stubbs to serve until Dwivedy’s projected return in late spring.

At the organizational meeting, the board will elect officers for the 2024-25 school year, including chair, vice chair, clerk, and treasurer, and approve school board compensation. It will also approve the 2024-25 school board meeting calendar, appoint a representative to Intermediate District 287, and address other organizational items.
