Support your local school board

The Minnesota School Boards Association set Feb. 17-21 as School Board Recognition Week in Minnesota as a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society. Cloquet Superintendent Michael Cary encouraged district residents to join public school districts across the state to honor local board members for their commitment to Cloquet and its children. The board, from left, includes Hawk Huard, Duane Buytaert, Dave Battaglia, Ted Lammi, Jim Crowley and Nate Sandman. Jana Peterson / Pine Knot News
