Boards agree: So far, so good

That just didn’t happen before.”Turkey Valley School Board members, who pointed out that the district is its eighth consecutive year of sharing a superintendent, wanted to make sure New Hampton board members were comfortable with the situation.“This is old hat for us,” Schmitt said, “and this has worked out very well for us. ... Our big question is how do you feel about it?”For the complete story see the 3/3/2017 New Hampton Tribune.
