“One concern we have is we got pre-approved for a loan from the Department of Public Instruction for just under $10 million,” said school board President Jan Kostad. “We have to make a decision on that by April 17. So, is it proper to have another election in that time frame?” Read EVERY WORD on EVERY PAGE of The Kenmare News by subscribing--online or in print!
