New Board Member to be Named

The vacancy created on the school board with the passing of Sam Nelson will be appointed at the October 26 meeting. Joy Bodin, who applied for the previous opening, has been asked to fill that vacancy and she has agreed to serve.

She is the Director of Marketing and Admissions at Hennepin Technical College and holds a Bachelor of Arts from Metropolitan State University in psychology and business. She and her family moved to Delano in 2000 because of the qualities they found in Delano Public Schools. She has been a volunteer for Destination Imagination and a parent volunteer for Lego League in south Minneapolis.

It was the opinion of the school board that her extensive experience in public higher education, which includes marketing, quality improvement initiatives, public relations activities, experience with budgets and technology will be a great asset to the school district.

This position will come up for election in the November 2010 election and will then be for the remainder of the term that ends December 31, 2012.
