The Crookston School Board and Superintendent Jeremy Olson met last week to discuss the long-term plan for the Crookston School District. Both sides thought it was a good discussion about the future of the school district. “We started looking at the operating referendum, pool referendum and those things we will encounter down the road,” said Olson. “We started talking about the what-ifs with our pool facility and what it looks like down the road, looking at buildings and maintenance down the road and we looked at the referendum strategy and whether or not we wanted to go a year early, so we had discussions about that.”
The meeting was productive and the board gave Olson “marching orders.” “One being the bus garage and pulling some information as far as what does that looks like, seeking input and what is our strategy moving forward with our bus garage,” said Olson. “I think everyone probably agrees that we should be looking at that down the road since I am worried about it falling in the next couple of years.”
Olson said they have to figure out how to get a new bus garage. “We are going to be looking at what do we do with an architect down the road,” said Olson. “Is this something that is viable to bring to the tax payers, when are we bringing it to the taxpayers and what kind of dollar amount are we looking at and what type of building.”
