With new trustees in place, members of the board of Sheridan County School District 1 elected officers for the year ahead at their meeting this week.

Also joining the board after being elected in November was Mercedes Biteman.

In other action at the meeting, Garber and Krumm were appointed the school district’s representatives on the BOCHES board, and Krumm will serve on the BOCES board as well as the Little Blue School House board.

Lofgren will be the district’s representative on the Tongue River Valley Joint Powers Board. Biteman was named to represent the district on the Tongue River Child’s Place board. Garber was named to the Sheridan County School District 1 Recreation District board. Baker and Krumm will serve on the Interstate Negotiations Team.

Also this week, trustees approved the school calendar for next year. District 1 Superintendent Pete Kilbride said the calendar is kind of a mirror for what the district is doing this year. School will start on Aug. 23 and Christmas break will start on Dec. 16. Teachers will return to school on Jan. 3 and students on Jan. 4. Classes will go through June 3 next year.
