UW‑Extension signals staffing changes and highlights 4‑H summer programming in Price County

Assistant Dean Jason Hausler introduced himself to the committee and reported that Amber Rehberg is being hired as the Price County Area Director. Hausler told the committee that UW‑Extension has faced fiscal challenges following the loss of FoodWIse and SNAP‑Ed programs and that roughly 100 positions were laid off in 2025; he said the county will receive an additional educator position and that the county currently supports two part‑time positions (4‑H Educator .5 FTE and Program Assistant .45 FTE).
