NRHEG School Board

In a brief open session following the Organizational Meeting Monday, January 4, the NRHEG school board’s Staff Negotiations Committee opened negotiations with Dale Carlson on terms of a contract for permanent superintendent of schools.
A positive evaluation at last month’s meeting caused the board’s selection committee to recommend going ahead with him for the position rather than beginning the costly and time-consuming selection process again.
Carlson will be the third superintendent the district has had in the last 10 years, since the resignation of Richard Lorenz in 2006. Lorenz held the position for 21 years.
At Monday’s organizational meeting, board elections were held, producing much discussion on the nomination process but no change in the board officers, who were all re-elected.
Changes to the board committees were:• Michele Moxon was replaced by Travis Routh on the Building and Grounds Committtee.
• Mark Tollefson replaced Joann Maloney on the School Activities Committee.
Depositories for 2016 were set as State Bank of New Richland and Liquid Alternatives Fund as previous years.
Supt. Carlson was authorized to make funds transfers.
The NRHEG Star Eagle was again designated as newspaper of record for the district.
There were no changes to regular board meeting and time, or to board compensation.
Under pressure of deadline, the draft of the Community Survey was okayed for printing on the 15th, in order to be available for distribution before Feb. 2.
The next regular meeting of the board will be Tuesday, Jan. 19, 6:30 p.m., at the Ellendale Media Center.
