Changes coming to West Range school districts

Two unrelated sources tell me some significant staff movements are occurring in Greenway Schools that will expedite the shared administration plan with Nashwauk-Keewatin Schools. Apparently, Greenway’s superintendent and high school principal are leaving to take jobs in the nearby Grand Rapids School District. The N-K Board meets tonight and could make some important decisions that would share a superintendent and other administration between the two cash-strapped Iron Range districts. It’s not a consolidation, at least not yet, but it is a step in the right direction for trimming administrative costs to save programs and courses for students.
