Greenway super staying put

I don’t know how I missed this, but Greenway Superintendent Rochelle VanDenHeuvel turned down the Virginia (Minn.) Schools Superintendent position for personal reasons, according to the Mesabi Daily News. This leaves Cook County Schools Superintendent Chuck Futterer the top choice for the Virginia job.

I had written that if VanDenHeuvel had left Greenway, that trouble district might finally be forced to enter consolidation talks with other districts. Now that decision, in congress with the will of the school board, lies with VanDenHeuvel. Regardless of who’s in charge, Range-wide school consolidation needs to happen. It’s the only way state leaders will take Iron Range calls for fair education funding seriously.
