ISD 318 SCHOOL BOARD FORUM REPORT FROM 10-09

An ISD 318 School Board Forum was held at the Reif Center last night, Rapids Radio News Director Tony Schmid was there, and had a chance to speak with Superintendent Matt Grose after the event was over. Matt acknowledged that budget is a key issue. “You know, I know that budget is a big concern, and rightly so. I think there’s a lot that we’re doing around here besides budget, and I think there are a lot of things that we can be proud of as a school district despite those things. I don’t know that all the candidates are aware that we’ve balanced our budget the last three years. I didn’t hear anybody say that, and I think that would have been worth acknowledging and showed that people had done their research. So looking forward to more people asking questions about that”

Three seats are up for election. We will provide election Coverage on Tuesday November 5th on all 3 of our stations.
