Crookston School Board member, Kari Miller, has turned in her resignation because she will be moving. Dr. Miller said in her resignation letter that she and her family will be moving to Grand Forks, where her husband works at Brady Martz and Associates. The resignation will force a special election, likely in November during a possible bus garage referendum vote.
