During a recent government meeting, community member Dave Guild addressed the assembly regarding concerns over local education standards, specifically focusing on the latest Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) test scores. Guild, a resident of Prior Lake and a member of the teaching and learning committee, expressed disappointment in the results, noting that students' scores had declined in nine out of seventeen categories.

Guild highlighted that these declines follow a troubling trend, exacerbated by the challenges posed by remote learning during the pandemic. His comments underscore ongoing concerns about educational outcomes in the district and the need for effective oversight and support from the school board to address these issues. The meeting also included an open forum segment, although it was noted that the agenda did not initially include this discussion.
