The board met in regular session last night. The link directs you to the Board Meeting Brief.
A highlight of the meeting was special recognition to Mark Knutson and Rob Anderson who ended their terms on the board. Rob served for 16 years. Mark served for 20 years. Their leadership and care for our school community will be missed. Thank you for your years of service to the Marshall County Central community and school district!
