Clockwise from left: School board member Marjorie Thorn, State Rep. Dan Dorman (R-Albert Lea), school board members Ken Petersen and Bill Leland, an unidentified person (sitting), Mary Jo Dorman (standing) and an unidentified person discuss the school referendum’s failure Tuesday night in the board room at Brookside Education Center. The white boxes contain ballots. The mood was quiet and somber as officials turned their attention toward the budget-cutting measures they expect to be enacted in the coming months.
