As students are out of class for spring break, the homestretch of the current school year will approach when they return. Superintendent Greg Ebeling says the focus of the school board in the final months of the school year will be preparing for 2019-20. Ebeling says at the upcoming board meeting on March 25th, they will approve the budget for the next fiscal year. At their most recent meeting, the board approved the annual staff salary settlement at 2.75 percent for the next raise; administrators will get a 2.1 percent bump.
