Some of the students in Shelly Spallees-Hansen's Hospitality and Tourism class attended the Hospitality Expo at Marriott Hotel in Brooklyn Park by Hospitality Minnesota..

In the last two years, RPS has actively ensured the district's financial stability, making substantial budget cuts exceeding $20 million. These measures led to increased class sizes and the elimination of 150 positions, highlighting the challenges we've faced.
Our dedication to providing exceptional education remains unwavering. We recognize technology's profound impact and are committed to incorporating it into our curriculum innovatively.
If passed, this referendum preserves current class sizes and avoids budget cuts of up to $10 million for 2024-2025.
