Progress on new
PI School stalled
by cold weather
By Alice Duschanek-Myers
PINE ISLAND At the Pine
Island School Board facility meeting on January 11, Kerry Hayden
reported that the extremely low
wind chill temperatures and
weather temporarily stalled some
progress on the construction of
the new PreK-4 building. It has
been difficult to do masonry and
steel work. With the weather improving, the crews will be able to
complete more work.
The final shipment of steel was
delivered. The steel workers are
waiting for block walls to be installed. The block walls are about
40% complete. Hayden said it will

take five days in each section of
the building to get steel up for the
roof. Roofers will start as the steel
is up in each section.
He also reported that a portion
of the basement from the 1934
building will most likely be saved
for electrical utilities.
The board recently adopted the
maroon and gold of the Minnesota Gophers as official school
colors. An official logo was
adopted. This has simplified selecting some of the color scheme
for accents and doors in the new
school. The official logo will be
used in the middle of the new gym
floor.
Kim Fall said the grade 5-12
facility team will prioritize projects
and priorities for the remodeling
and renovation in the middle/high
school building. This way, if funds
are left over from the new construction a priority can be identified to complete in the other buildapolis.

Its time to end the ban

on Sunday liquor sales
Capitol
Comments
By Steve Drazkowski
MN Rep. District 21B
Most people recognize December 5, 1933, as the date when the

national prohibition of alcohol
ended in America.
Yet, more than 80 years later,
our state laws continue to uphold
a prohibition initiative that not only
defies common sense but also has
cost Minnesota hundreds of millions of dollars.
The ban on Sunday liquor sales
in Minnesota is overwhelmingly
opposed by Minnesota residents.
But thanks to the deep pocketbooks of special interests, a bill
that would end this prohibition on
the free market hasnt so much as
received a House committee hearing during my eight years at the
State Capitol.
Minnesota is one of twelve states
that bans the sale of alcohol on
Sunday, meaning Wisconsin,
North and South Dakota and Iowa
all benefit. According to estimates
from the Distilled Spirits Council
of the United States, Minnesota
loses $10.6 million annually in
lost tax revenue by forcing liquor
stores to close their doors on Sunday and all of that money is
going to our neighboring states.
In addition, a 2013 Public Policy
Polling survey found 62 percent

of Minnesotans favor Sunday liquor sales.
So why does Minnesota continue to overthink this no-brainer?
One argument says mom-andpop liquor stores should be able to
have a day off. Heres the deal: a
repeal of the Sunday alcohol sales
ban would not compel stores to
open. The store owner has the freedom to decide whether or not to
open on Sunday or any other day.
Just ask Wisconsin.
Another argument says Sunday
is the Lords Day, so we should
all take a day of rest. Yet Sunday
is typically the heaviest shopping
day of the week for consumers, so
why not let them by beer or wine
if they choose?
If you want the real answer, you
need to follow the money. Special
interests such as the Minnesota
Licensed Beverage Association
and Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association, along with the
Teamsters Union have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars over
the years in an effort to keep the
ban in place. Their influence, and
their money, has worked.
So in an effort to end this oncea-week prohibition I am actually
offering three separate bills in the
hopes that one will gain enough
legislative traction to restore free
market principles to Sunday alcohol sales.
The first bill is a full repeal. The
second bill gives cities and counties the opportunity to choose
whether liquor stores could open

for business on Sundays in other
words, local control of the issue.
Finally, my last bill would create
a pilot program in three Minnesota counties that are most impacted by lost Sunday alcohol sales
Winona, St. Louis, and eventually Dakota and allow their liquor stores to open if they choose.
Prohibiting liquor sales on Sunday makes about as much sense as
prohibiting doughnut sales on
Monday, gasoline sales on Tuesday and tire sales on Wednesdays.
Think about it. What if the Legislature ordered coffee houses to
close on Sundays and told you
that if you wanted a cup of Joe bad
enough you should have bought
one Saturday night or that you had
six other days to stock up? Its
nonsensical, yet we continue to
hear it from the Big Liquor folks
that are funding the lobby for the
continued Sunday ban.
My bills appeal to the interest
of people who overwhelmingly
support this issue, and the liquor
store owners in my district who
are tired of losing business to
Wisconsin. It doesnt force anyone to open their doors but it does
finally allow for the sale of their
products on Sunday.
A bipartisan coalition is growing in support of this legislation,
and Governor Dayton has indicated that if a bill reaches his desk
that he will sign it. Lets hope
enough lawmakers can move this
long overdue initiative forward.
Reforming K-12 education

By Congressman John Kline
Thirteen years ago last week
from a high school in southwestern Ohio, President George W.
Bush flanked by both Republican and Democrat leaders signed
into law a reauthorization of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Known as No Child
Left Behind, the new law set high
expectations and established measurable goals in order to improve
student outcomes in classrooms
from coast to coast.
It was an historic achievement
based on a foundation of good intentions from Republicans and
Democrats alike who, like most
Americans, want to ensure children can one day compete in a
global economy.
Despite the best intentions behind the creation of the law, there
is widespread agreement that No
Child Left Behind no longer effectively serves students. No Child
Left Behinds Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) metric proves
one-size-fits-all federal accountability mandates hamper innovation and limit states and school
districts abilities to effectively
gauge and improve student learning. The antiquated highly qualified teacher requirements value
tenure and credentials above a
teachers ability to actually teach.
And despite a tremendous investment of taxpayer resources and
more than 80 federal programs tied
to K-12 classrooms, student
achievement levels are still falling short.
Our children deserve better.
As Chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Com-
mittees, I have heard countless

stories of the progress being made
in schools throughout Minnesota
and across the country. This success isnt due to heavy-handed
dictates from Washington; rather,
it reflects the work of dedicated
parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, and state officials
who decided the status quo is just
not good enough for our kids. And
I have heard impassioned stories
of how much more these dedicated reformers would do for our
children, if not for the slew of
onerous Washington mandates and
outdated regulations standing in
the way.
To take politics out of our
nations schools and improve education for all students, I am once
again leading the charge in Congress to replace No Child Left
Behind and restore local control
in our classrooms. Over the coming weeks, we will be examining
K-12 education law in the House
of Representatives. In fact, Congress could vote on legislation in
the coming months, and it is my
hope we can work with Senate
Chairman Lamar Alexander
(Tenn.) to send major K-12 education reform to the White House
for the first time in more than a
decade.
The legislation I plan to shepherd through the House embodies
four principles vital to a stronger
education system in which all students have the opportunity to succeed.
First, the legislation will restore
local control by eliminating the
federal accountability system and
calling on states to develop a bet-
ter approach that more accurately

reflects student achievement. Second, we must reduce the federal
footprint in our classrooms by rooting out waste in the existing federal education bureaucracy, and
provide state and local leaders more
flexibility in how they spend federal funds. Third, we must recognize a better education system
cannot come without better educators. Any reform should eliminate federal requirements that value
credentials over a teachers ability to educate students. Finally,
we must empower parents. No one
has a better understanding of a
childs strengths and challenges
than his or her parents. We need
to advance policies that provide
parents more freedom and choice,
such as expanding access to high
quality charter schools.
Recognizing that K-12 reform
is long overdue is hardly a partisan belief. I am optimistic Congress can send to the presidents
desk an education reform proposal
that will enjoy the support of teachers, school leaders, and parents
alike.
I look forward to working with
Republicans and Democrats in the
House and Senate, and the White
House, to tear down barriers to
progress and grant states and districts more freedom to think bigger, innovate, and take whatever
steps are necessary to put more
children on the right path to a
brighter future.

the House Education and the
Workforce Committees. He also
serves on the House Armed Services Committee. He and his wife,
Vicky, live in Burnsville.

a new era in storytelling started
with the first issue of Star Wars

GOODHUE On January 14,
the Goodhue City Council met for
its first meeting of 2015. New
council member Wayne Hahn was
sworn in, and all other council
members renewed their oath of
office.
In old business, the extension
of Broadway Avenue was discussed as it affects Ag Partners
fertilizer plant. No decision was
reached after discussing annexing some land to the City of
Goodhue. The council is very interested in keeping the costs low. It
was noted that the Schumacher
Excavating will not complete their
agreement to raise the road until
this spring.

match it? Marvel has also added a
website with digital comics adding to the Star Wars saga.
How volatile are fans? When
the first Lord of the Rings movie
came out (three hours long), fans
complained that Tom Bombadil
was not in the movie. Tom is in
the first book of the series, taking
less than a chapter. He contributed little to the story and to the
movie result: cut. Did it stop
them from watching the second
or third movies? I dont know.
Some fans went to see the movie
several times just to study the movie
and how well it matched the book.
Why does the fan base seem so
important? They can vote with
dollars and not buy or read any of
the work (beyond Star Wars) by
Marvel. This is big business risk.
I hope they meet our expectations.
Until next week.

ZM SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE

The Zumbrota-Mazeppa School
Board has hired School Exec Connect to assist us with the new superintendent search. The board met
with them on January 5 to review
envisioned. Disney has already

announced the cast for movie 7
(VII). Disney also bought Marvel, which includes both the movies and the comics. Early last year,
a question came up inside Disney:
Why is Dark Horse publishing
Star Wars when we have both
Georges organization and the first
publisher of Star Wars, Marvel? The contract between George
and Dark Horse had a normal end
date in 2014. Disney decided to
use Marvel.
I dont know if Disney understands the size and temperament
of the Star Wars fan base. It is
huge! (This is an understatement.)
Star Wars is an international
phenomenon and fans are worldwide. Dark Horse used but did
not abuse the Lucas editorial control. (It was the editorial staff who
killed off Chewbacca in the New
Jedi Order series of novels.) Dark
Horse has set a high standard for
Group and a decision will be made

at a later council meeting.

The council was split on making a decision about a letter received from the attorney of
Fitzgerald Excavating concerning
the penalties assessed to the company by the City of Goodhue. Extra
expenses occurred by the city was
$10,611 due to the contractors
errors. Penalties of $26,400 were

ZM gets sloppy win at Cannon Falls
By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA It wasnt pretty,
but an HVL win is an HVL win.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa earned a 3628 win at Cannon Falls on Friday
for their second HVL girls basketball win of the season.
ZM shot a dismal 18% from the
field (8 of 43), but the Bombers
shot even worse hitting just 17%
(7 of 41).
Cannon Falls led 18-14 at the
break, but the Cougars turned the
game around in the second half,
netting 22 points while holding
the Bombers to just 10 points.
Free throw shooting kept ZM
in the game. They hit 18 of 29,
compared to CFs 11 of 20.

PINE ISLAND The Pine Island girls basketball team experienced both the thrill of victory
and the agony of defeat last week.
The Panthers won big over Cannon Falls, but they also lost big to
Byron.
The Panthers will host Lake City
on Friday, play at Minnehaha
Academy on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
and host Hayfield on Tuesday.
Cannon Falls
The lead bounced back and forth
between Cannon Falls and Pine

23-21. But the second half of the
contest was all Pine Island. They
dominated both offensively and
defensively as they held the Bombers to just 10 points in the second
half while rolling up 37 points of
offense to win 60-31.
Scoring balance was key as four
players scored in double figures
led by Noelle Langworthy with
14, Kaitlyn Champa, 13, and Summer Cavallaro and Madi Owen
with 10 each.

KM nips KW on criteria
By Faye Haugen
KENYON For the past five or
six years the HVL wrestling title
had been decided when KenyonWanamingo and Kasson-Mantorville square off on the mat. That
could well be the case again this
year when the two squads met in
Byron in an HVL double dual.
The Knights got off to a good
start with a technical fall by Ethan
Cota, a fall by Jared Clawiter and
a decision by Bradley Kish through
126 pounds for a 14-4 KW lead.
But the KoMets won the next four
weights to take a 15-14 lead.
Ted Androli won by decision at
160, with KM winning by decision at 170 for a 17-17 tie. Drew
Sathrum came through with a big
fall at 182 for a 23-17 KW lead.
But a KM decision at 195 and a
major decision at 220 upped the
KoMets lead to 29-23. Seth
Donkers came through with a pin
at 285 to knot the score at 29-29,

Pine Island drops a pair of games
By Faye Haugen
PINE ISLAND It was a tough
week for the Pine Island boys basketball as they lost a pari of games
in HVL play to drop to 5-5 in HVL
play at 8-9 overall.
The Panthers will play at
Goodhue on Friday and Hayfield
on Thursday.
Cannon Falls
A slow start in Cannon Falls
was hard to make up in a 71-63
loss to the Bombers Tuesday.
The Panthers trailed by 10 at
the half, 35-25.
We came out in the second half
and played with a lot more intensity ad came back to tie the game
at 46, said Coach Jim McNamara.

the game and we outrebounded 60-53 loss.

By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA For the first 13
minutes of Mondays non-conference game with Dover-Eyota, the
Zumbrota-Mazeppa boys played
toe-to-toe with the Eagles (11-4
overall).
ZM trailed but just a point early
in the game and were down 22-19
when the Eagles went on a 14-0
run to open up a 36-19 lead. The
Cougars were able to score the
last three points of the half, but
they went to the locker room down
36-22.
The magic that ZM had early in
the contest did not return in the
second half, as DE continued to
build on their lead in their way to

the 8-1 record, but he would have
been happier going 9-0. The Cougars only loss in that run was to
Class AA third-ranked Albert Lea
in the finals of the ZumbrotaMazeppa Duals in Zumbrota, Saturday.
We beat some very decent
teams over the last week and the
team was tested. We wrestled one
of the best teams in the state in
Albert Lea and we came up two
points short. We left most everything on the mat, but there is room
for improvement, said Coach
Steffen. We were right there with
Albert Lea and we had our chances
to win.

PINE ISLAND This past semester, under the direction of technology and engineering instructor Rob Mainhardt, Pine Island
High School students worked on
building cabinets and a workbench
project. On Friday, January 16,
the students completed the projects
and were able to take their cabinets home. The workbench is a
legacy project that stays at school.
The fourteen students in
Mainhardts class started the
projects at the beginning of school
year. The students were split up
into groups and assigned to different areas. One group was in
charge of material selection (measuring, estimating quantity from

professional learning session
Submitted by Goodhue School
RED WING Staff members
of Goodhue County Education
District Schools (Cannon Falls,
Goodhue, Kenyon-Wanamingo,
Red Wing, and ZumbrotaMazeppa) will be participating in
professional learning on Friday,
January 23, at Red Wing High
School. All certified staff (teachers and administrators) are expected to attend. Office staff and
student support staff have been
invited to attend the learning sessions.
The morning session of professional learning will feature Will
Richardson. The afternoon session
features an unconference. An
unconference is a participant-directed learning activity.
A parent of two teenagers,

Richardson has spent the last twelve
years developing an international
reputation as a leading thinker and
writer about the intersection of
social online learning networks
and education. He was one of a
handful of original education
bloggers (willrichardson.com) and
his work has appeared in numerous journals, newspapers, and
magazines such as Ed Leadership,
District Administration, Education
Week, The New York Times and
English Journal. He is an outspoken advocate for change in schools
and classrooms in the context of
the diverse new learning opportunities that the Web and other technologies now offer.
Richardson has authored four
books, most recently Why

School? How Education Must
Change When Learning and Information are Everywhere (September, 2012) published by TED
books and based on his most
recentTEDx talk in Melbourne,
Australia. Why School? is now
the number one bestselling TED
book ever.
A former public school educator for 22 years, he has spoken
over the past eight years to tens of
thousands of educators in over a
dozen countries about the merits
of online learning networks for
personal and professional growth.
Richardson lives in rural New
Jersey with his wife Wendy and
his children Tess and Tucker.

municating to the next group),

another group was in charge of
rough length cutting, another group
was in charge of facing and edging, another was in charge of cutting to width, and another handled
thickness planning.
A group of about five or six
students worked on the workbench,
which included mainly stock selection, and gluing the tabletop.
Mainhardt said, The workbenches
have been a project of mine for
the last five years, so each timber
manufacturing class has put some
work into each of the now four
completed workbenches.

Students begin practices in September, to learn or review skills
and topics covered in seventh and
eighth grade math, such as operations with integers and fractional
numbers, absolute values, exponents, sequences, solving linear
equations, logic problems, ratios,
proportions, the Pythagorean Theorem, square roots, simplifying radicals, surface areas, slopes, stem
and leaf plots, and volume.
Meets were held at KW School

Six teams representing Zumbrota-
Mazeppa, Cannon Falls, Goodhue,

Northfield (two teams), and KW

and a team round. The individual
rounds consist of five problems
that need to be completed in ten
minutes. The first three problems
are worth two points and the last
two problems are worth four points.
The team round has ten problems
that are all worth four points. The
six-person team gets 20 minutes
to do this round.
The points students earn in the
two individual rounds and team

For the January 11 meeting, the
Cherry Grove Busy Gophers took
a trip to Wescon Lanes in West
Concord. Every year in January
we do this and it turns out great
every time. We bowled from 2-4
p.m. with whoever we wanted to
from the club and just had a completely relaxed meeting.
In all of the games, there was a
supreme player but in the adult
game all of the players were. Every
one of them scored up to 130 points.
The adults playing in that game
were the Ostertags and Quams. All
the rest of us could get to was
around 90 or 100. I played with
Analie Piller, Gretchen Anderson
(who tagged along for fun), and
Markus Rechtzigel. In the first
game, I flat-out beat them 116 to
90. Then in the second they took
over and totally destroyed me 90
to 60. Sam Tudor did a wonderful
job in his game with the Pattersons,
and Jack Fitzgerald was a character, as always, telling jokes to his
family as he threw the ball down
the court. We finished the meeting off with homemade pizza and
drinks of choice. The next meeting will be held at the Pattersons
on Super Bowl Sunday.
New Haven Sodbusters
By Patrick Bogard
The New Haven Sodbusters
opened the new year with a meeting on January 11, 2015, at St.
Michaels Catholic Church in Pine
Island. Flag pledges were given
by the Alberts, McNallan, and
Rucker families, and the roll call
responses to What is your New
Years resolution? were given.
With 4-Hers planning to read
more, eat better, and exercise more,
the year is off to a strong start.
Demonstrations were given on
Planking Grilling by Aiden Allen;
How to Make Lefse by Josh Zemke;
Homemade Scented and Unscented Candle Making by Krista
Zemke; Super Bowl Taco Dip by
Grace Rucker; and Apple Cinnamon Muffins by Makenzie Alberts.
Fair project reports were given
by Natalie Kottom on her arts and
crafts project and Grace Rucker
on her dried apple project for food
preservation. The county candy
fundraiser was successful thanks
to all the 4-H families. The winter
activity was discussed, and it will
be held at the Rochester Athletic
Club. The Cancer Telethon Bake
sale at the Pine Island Bank is
scheduled for Saturday, January
17 from 8 a.m. to noon. 4-Hers
have the opportunity to attend the
Regional Y Night on February 6,
Building Leadership Under-standing (BLU), and the Regional
Ambassador Retreat.
The next meeting is on Sunday,
February 8 at 5 p.m. at St.
Michaels. If you are interested
in joining the New Haven
Sodbusters 4-H club, please contact Michelle Rossman, key leader,
at 292-1191.

Pine Island
Early childhood screening
to be held in Pine Island
PINE ISLAND Early childhood screening is a free check of a
childs growth and development
provided by Pine Island Public
Schools. Screening in early childhood supports readiness for kindergarten and promotes positive
child health and development. If
any areas of concern are identified, children can get the help they
need before starting school. Children are required to have a screening before kindergarten, unless a
conscientious objection is filed.
The next early childhood screening will be Wednesday, March 11,
and Thursday, March 12, at St.
Paul Lutheran Church. This screening is for any unscreened child
who is:
Between the ages of three and
four.
Over four and has not yet been
screened
Screening at age three is ideal,
as it provides the earliest time to
offer support and resources to children and families. The screening
tools are adjusted for a childs age,
so waiting for a child to learn more
skills before screening is not recommended and provides no ben-
efit. It can also delay care for any

areas that may be of concern.
The screening includes height
and weight, vision and hearing,
and a developmental screening,
which looks at the childs thinking, language and motor skills.
Parents will also have a health and
immunization review with a nurse,
followed by an exit interview. Early
childhood screening includes a
vision screening that helps detect
potential eye problems, but is not
a substitute for a comprehensive
eye exam.
Call the Pine Island School at
356-8785 to schedule your appointment. Appointment times range
from 7:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. and
take about an hour and a half. Attending any preschool or ECFE
classes or having well child checkups with your doctor does not eliminate the requirement for screening.
If you have questions regarding screening eligibility or any other
questions pertaining to ECS, please
contact Robin Schmoll, ECS coordinator and licensed school nurse
at 356-8785.

Zumbrota-Mazeppa and Kenyon-Wanamingo dance teams perform in Winona

The Zumbrota-Mazeppa dance team took part in the Winona Invitational
on January 10 with the high kick team placing sixth. Dancing for the
Cougars are, from left, front row: Breana Haag, Sophie Holm and
Maddie Lindhart; second row: Kennedy Mueller, Rachel Tschann and
Emma Gunhus; third row: Kaitlyn Hinchley, Myfanwy Postians, Katie
Grudem and Halle Kruse; fourth row: Katie Lawler, Olivia Gadient,
Amanda Edstrom, Corie Deraas, Grace Myran and Maddie Lawler.
Varsity jazz went out and had a rough performance as a team. We
changed a few things, and the girls nailed those changes, but forgot
some of the things that have been in the routine from the start. We had
a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes. We still were able to pull out a first-
place finish, which was good, but we, as a team, were pretty nervous for
awhile, said ZM coach Jen Stumm. Varsity kick has made some
changes to their routine as well. We had an outstanding performance
and lost a tie-breaker with Winona for fifth place. Our scores continue
to increase and, now that the changes are done, we can focus on our
cleanliness and our technique. Its a tight race, and as we saw on
Saturday, its anyones game on any given day.
The HVL Dance Meet will be held this Friday in Hayfield with action
beginning at 7:15 p.m. The Section 1A dance meet is set for Saturday,

PINE ISLAND- On January 11,
the Pine Island School Board reviewed having the student representatives participate with the
board. Two students from student
council alternate as the school
board representative. The board
discussed adding a stipend/scholarship for a student participating
as a representative to the school
board.
Angela Heiden attended a meeting with other districts that have
student school board representatives. Some school boards have
the student sit at the table with the
board and ask them for input during discussions. In Pine Island the
representative gives a monthly
report from the students perspective, which board members agreed
was important to them.
The board recognized that the
members of the student council
are very active students, and adding more responsibilities could
deter them from serving as a school
board representatives. Students
interested in politics might be willing to serve if the role changed.
Adding a scholarship could interest more students. At this time, no
decision has been made to change
the students role, or to add a stipend/scholarship.

Principal Cindy Hansen reported

that there are more opportunities
for students to take Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment practice tests
this year. The reading test was administered in December. Students
will take the math test in January.
The teachers will use data from these
tests to develop small groups and
instruction in preparation for MCA
testing.
Elementary students raised a
record $1,817 for Toys for Tots this
year. Jeanne Brustuen organized the
project. The Pine Island School was
awarded first place in the KAAL
(Channel 6) Toys for Tots drive.
The high school raised over $5,700
this year.
Hansen said there is discussion
regarding sharing specialist/staff
between the PreK-4 and grades 512 buildings with the least trips between buildings. Some grades K-8
assemblies and other activities are
being split to K-4 and 5-8 to prepare for next year.
She said the elementary school is
experimenting with the new reality
computer application, Aurasma. It
could be used to create videos for
new family tours. Once the video is
created, a teachers name plate can
be scanned and a look inside classrooms and the specific grade level
can be viewed. This would eliminate interrupting student activity in
the class. There are many other uses

Points of Panther Pride
Superintendent Tammy BergBeniak recognized girls basketball

coach Scott Miller. The team played
in a tournament in Simley. The referees from the tournament contacted
the Pine Island Schools to commend
Miller on his coaching style, sportsmanship, and support of his team
(win or lose).
She recognized Luke Thornton
for accepting a scholarship offer to
play football at Southwest Minnesota State University at Marshall.
Molly Shelton was chosen for the
Athlete of the Week.
There are five Exemplary Composition winners for the Creative
Writing Contest in Pine Island. They
are Grace Northrop (grades 5 and 6
prose), Madeline Hansen (grades 5
and 6 poetry), Max Campeau (grades
7 and 8 composition), Patrick Bogard
(grades 9-12 prose), and Sara
Albertelli (grades 9-12 poetry).
Other business
The board accepted the resignation of wrestling coach Jeremy

McNamara. They approved an
overnight trip request from the
grades 7-12 wrestling teams on
January 17. They will wrestle at
the Crystal Lake meet and stay in
Mankato. The wrestling team will
pay $1,500 for the motel and other
expenses. The district will furnish
transportation. Coaches and parents will provide supervision.
The Pine Island Bank requested
the use of the Pine Island School
logo to offer for printing on checks.
The board accepted the current
logo as the official Pine Island
logo.
The school board will meet for
a retreat on January 21 at 6 p.m.
One item on the agenda is to work
on the vision statement for the district. Input from committees on
the statement was requested for
the retreat. The board will attend
the Minnesota School Board Association Conference on January
14-16 and a legislative forum on
February 7.
With regard to the recent
weather-related school closings,
Berg-Beniak said there is a lot of
decision-making involved in closing school. As a reminder, when
the building is closed, everything
is closed at the school. There is
now the option to hold classes
online during a closing.
Berg-Beniak reported that the
district passed the test for Pay
Equity Compliance. The test evaluates gender balance of employees
and compares pay rates for classes.
The principals had signed the
new two-year contract negotiated
with the school board. The contract was signed by the school
board.
