Sharing pays off for schools
New Hampton’s School Board last week approved continuing to share six positions with Turkey Valley Community Schools, which was no surprise.Yet, that decision to share a superintendent, transportation director, maintenance director, business manager, band instructor and vocational agriculture teacher — one that the Turkey Valley School Board made earlier in the month — is a critical one for both districts.The reason? It gives both districts more than $140,000 in additional revenue, thanks to state incentives designed to induce sharing among neighboring school districts.— For more on this story, see the June 26 New Hampton Tribune.
