Members Stephanie Ellingson, Troy Suchan, and Eric Turner were sworn in to serve another term while Ericka Raber was sworn in to replace Richard Bordwell.  The new board elected Eric Turner as President and Heidi Vittetoe was chosen as Vice President.

Reports were presented from Superintendent Dr. Mike Jorgensen stating the district had an average cost of $3.79 per mile to transport students last year.  The Board also heard an update on the new high school from Dan Culp.

Culp says the project remains on schedule and on budget.  A tour of the new high school has been set for December 5th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
