The Garretson School board met in regular session on May 11, 2020 at 5:45 p.m. Again, because of the pandemic they met via videoconference, allowing the press to watch in the school’s lunchroom commons area on the large screen television and broadcasting live on the school’s Alliance public access television channel.
After convening, the board added one item to the agenda, a change order for the upcoming school roofing project, and then approved the agenda.
One big item of note was the resignation of Francis Ruml. Supt. Guy Johnson said that Ruml has accepted a position in his home town district of Howard, S.D. Board president Nordstrom said that he was sad to see Ruml go, and the board formally thanked him for his years of service as a teacher and coach and wished him all the best in his new job back in his hometown.
Elizabeth Etrheim also resigned from her extra-curricular assignment as a junior high volleyball coach as she is instead going to become the new cheerleading coordinator, and that those positions would directly conflict with each other.

Johnson said that this was a problem that solved itself and that she’ll be taking over as a junior high volleyball coach.
