Power of the local press

The photo and caption appeared front page, above-the-fold in this morning's Mankato Free Press daily newspaper.  It was accompanied by this article with the headline "2005 referendum funding digital revolution." I read, as always, with great trepidation.

But the article was positive and pretty darned accurate as these things go. Thanks, reporter Tanner Kent! I just hope Ed the superintendent, gives it a positive review.

I am not sure how we do it, but our district has always managed to maintain a good relationship with the local press. While it helps that we are a very well-run district, we are also open, honest, available, and considerate to our reporters and newspaper editors.

A policy that I believe has a positive impact - indirectly - on kids.
