EYOTA, Minn. – The Dover-Eyota School Board voted 7-0 to cut seven staff positions this fall. The cuts reflect declining enrollment in a rural area that had been growing as a bedroom community for Rochester. The district has three schools, 1,100 students and 71 faculty with a 15:1 student-faculty ratio. The ratio compares with 21:1 in Rochester, 17:1 in St. Charles, 13:1 in Lewiston Altura, and 13:1 in Winona.
