The Crookston School Board held a special meeting on Monday afternoon at the Crookston High School District Office to approve a contract with the new superintendent, Dr. Randy Bergquist.
The board unanimously approved a three-year contract with Dr. Bergquist as the next Crookston School District Superintendent beginning on July 1, 2023.
The contract’s first year will pay Bergquist $148,000, year two will be $151,000, and the third year will be $154,000, not including benefits. The contract also includes a technology stipend for updating the Crookston School District’s social media. “We got the signed contract back from Dr. Bergquist, and he agreed to pretty much everything. We hammered it out quickly, and the school board approved the contract, and he will start July 1,” said School Board Chair Frank Fee. “He is very active on social media promoting the school district in Osakis, where he is now. We gladly will pay him the stipend to have him actively promote the district on social media. Everything else is the same as previous superintendents, and we are happy to have him on board.”
The next regular Crookston School Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 24, at 5:00 p.m. in the Crookston High School Choir/Orchestra room.
