Superintendent Wade Johnson told the Kittson Central School District board on July 23 that title funds for the coming school year are frozen and staff are monitoring fiscal impacts. He reported ongoing talks with Blue Horizon Solar Power and said the proposed solar arrangement could be recouped quickly: "with the school getting payback within 4.5 years."
Johnson also previewed operational changes for student meals next year — younger students will eat first and high school students will be offered a second‑chance breakfast after second hour — and suggested the board consider moving toward cashless payments to reduce theft. He asked the board for permission to solicit snow‑removal bids for the upcoming winter season, said the district audit "went well," and reported progress on the portrait‑of‑a‑student committee and the JMC data transition.
