School Hires New Business Manager

Date:

The Garretson School board met in regular session on Sept. 9, 2019. The board ratified the hiring of a new business manager, adopted their budget for the coming year and talked about modifications to the building’s heating and cooling system.

After the usual business, and the approval of items on the consent agenda, the board was introduced to Supt. Guy Johnson’s new hire as the school’s business manager, Jacob Schweitzer. Schweitzer graduated from Northern State University and has experience in real estate and worked for a hotel management company in Aberdeen.

“I’m grateful for this opportunity,” Schweitzer. “I’m learning on the job but I’m confident I can give good service to the district.”

Board President Shannon Nordstrom and Guy Johnson both expressed satisfaction with Schweitzer, and with the experience of the two substitutes that have worked with the district previously, he’s gotten off on the right foot and they expressed hope that Schweitzer would be an asset for the district for years to come. As the first item of new business in the meeting, the board voted to ratify the employment of Schweitzer.

The board then approved claims, payroll and the financial report for the district.

Then it was onto old business, which was the approval of the 2019-20 budget. State law requires the district to have a budget passed by Oct. 1st.
