Superintendent Nancy Popp told the board English and music teaching positions remain vacant; most current applicants are from outside the U.S., creating cost and logistics challenges for the small district.

Superintendent Nancy Popp reported that both the English and music positions remain open and said current applicants are largely from outside the country, which "is a difficult process and expensive for a district of our size."
