The decision to close school, to start late or to dismiss early is difficult due to weather conditions that can vary considerably within the school district. For this reason, your cooperation and understanding are appreciated. A two-hour late start announcement may be made the evening before or the morning of school if the forecast is for inclement weather. This is done to gain additional time to make a decision based on actual conditions. When a late start is announced, please continue to listen for future announcements. Should it become necessary to close during the school day, stations will be notified as soon as the decision is made so you know when to expect your child/children home. Parents/guardians of young children who work outside the home are urged to make special arrangements in the event of early dismissal due to the danger of delivering young children to unattended homes. Parents/guardians make the ultimate decision on whether or not to send their child/children to school in questionable weather. You may exercise your option to keep your child/children home if you feel it is unwise to send them to school and you may come get your child/children if you feel winter weather is threatening. Your cooperation is also important in the area of winter clothing. Young people often resist wearing appropriate cold weather clothing to school and school events. Please insist that your child is properly dressed for inclement winter weather. If you have questions, feel free to call 320-564-4081.

  • Minnesota's-First Radio Station Was 9SV, Owned and Operated by 19-Year
    "Minnesota's-first radio station was 9SV, owned and operated by 19-year-old Robert Witschen, who broadcast phonographic music in 1920 to the few who could pick it up on their cat's whiskers sets. Schilpin hired Witschen in 1922 to build a station and give the Times a voice, WFAM. But the lack of advertisers---due to a lack of listeners with sets---forced the station to close down five years later. When Schilpin decided to try again in 1938, Witschen became the Chief Engineer for KFAM (the original call letters had been taken over by another station, and Schilpin's second choice, KSTC was, according to the FCC, too similar to St. Paul's KSTP).” KFAM-AM came on the air in 1938 and KFAM- FM was added a decade later…among the pioneer FM stations in Minnesota. ST CLOUD THE TRIPLET CITY JOHN DOMINIK 1983 Radio in Minnesota Radio in Minnesota, as in other parts of the country, began with experimental broadcasts in the 1910s. These often originated in the physics or engineering departments of colleges and universities. The University of Minnesota made its first radio transmissions in 1912, and in 1915 broadcast an entire football game with a spark gap transmitter. The University received a license for experimental station 9XI in 1920. Similar stations at St. John’s University and St. Olaf College also began during this period. Station 9XI at the University of Minnesota eventually was replaced by WLB, which became the state’s first licensed AM station on Jan. 13, 1922 (twenty three years later WLB would change its call letters to KUOM).

  • Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018
    Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018 MINNESOTA EAS STATEWIDE PLAN Revision 10 Basic Plan 01/31/2019 I. REASON FOR PLAN The State of Minnesota is subject to major emergencies and disasters, natural, technological and criminal, which can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of the public. The ability to provide citizens with timely emergency information is a priority of emergency managers statewide. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide emergency information to the public via television, radio, cable systems and wire line providers. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, (IPAWS) was created by FEMA to aid in the distribution of emergency messaging to the public via the internet and mobile devices. It is intended that the EAS combined with IPAWS be capable of alerting the general public reliably and effectively. This plan was written to explain who can originate EAS alerts and how and under what circumstances these alerts are distributed via the EAS and IPAWS. II. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF PLAN A. Purpose When emergencies and disasters occur, rapid and effective dissemination of essential information can significantly help to reduce loss of life and property. The EAS and IPAWS were designed to provide this type of information. However; these systems will only work through a coordinated effort. The purpose of this plan is to establish a standardized, integrated EAS & IPAWS communications protocol capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination of emergency information to the public. B. Objectives 1. Describe the EAS administrative structure within Minnesota. (See Section V) 2.
