It has come to the attention of Moorhead Area Public Schools that a direct mail piece endorsing two candidates for the upcoming school board election was recently sent to members of the Moorhead community. This mailer falsely claims to be from the district. The district wants to make it clear that we had no involvement in the creation, approval or distribution of this mailer.
As a neutral public entity, Moorhead Area Public Schools does not endorse or support any candidate running for the school board. This is a deeply troubling situation, and we are currently exploring legal and law enforcement options to identify and hold accountable those responsible for this fraudulent activity.
We encourage all members of the community to disregard this mailer. It does not reflect the district’s views, and its contents were neither authorized nor sanctioned by the school district.
Moorhead Area Public Schools is committed to ensuring that each community member can freely make their voice heard at the polls, without interference or deception. The district remains committed to transparency, fairness and upholding the highest ethical standards during this election process. The district will continue to work closely with authorities to resolve this matter.
