Crookston School Board News and Notes January 2021
Crookston Times
The Crookston School Board covered a variety of topics and handled a few business items during their first-of-the-new-year meeting including having re-elected board members take their oaths and the election of officers, the resignation of a significant district position, designating official law firms and media outlets, and ending a contract which means more responsibility for the district.
ELECTIONS AND OATHS
Re-elected School Board members Frank Fee, Dave Davidson and Mike Theis took their oaths at the start of the first 2021 meeting at Crookston High School last week. Members of the School Board are elected by the general public of District 593 and board elections are held every two years in the even-numbered years with the November General Election. Three School Board members are then elected at that time for terms of four years each.

Leaders of the Downtown Crookston Development Partnership used the Crookston City Council’s final meeting of 2020 this week to offer an update on the big year the DCDP had, and detail things they’re looking to do in 2021 to keep the positive momentum going.
“Our sole goal is to revitalize downtown, so it’s a very limited scope. We go from bridge to bridge to bridge and to the overpass,” DCDP Board member Shirley Iverson said at the podium, joined by fellow board member Jess Bengtson. “We want to generate excitement and make people remember our historic downtown.”
