Following in the footsteps of the Crookston Education Association’s unanimous ratification, the Crookston School Board this week unanimously approved a new, two-year contract with the teacher’s bargaining unit covering the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years.
Board Chair Frank Fee said after only two meetings the teachers settled for “what the state is going to give us,” which amounts to a base salary increase of 2% in the first year of the contract and 2.45% in the second year.

Community Connections: Focus on local entities and their successes
Crookston Times
If you stop and think about it there are many success stories for Crookston in the last few years, and even in the last year; yes, even during the pandemic. Many local entities stepped up to help the community, its businesses, its residents, and still try to write the story for the organizations they represent.
It takes a lot of work behind the scenes to make things happen especially for nonprofits that may lack staff or proper funding. Late nights, missed family time, what seemed like never-ending lists of things to do. And then the project is complete. The event happens. And it’s all worth it.
