Ed Bideau, local candidate for the House of Representatives, introduced a “new and bold” idea to USD 257 Board of Education members at their meeting Monday night.
“I will communicate with you,” Bideau said, in a light-hearted manner though with serious implications for the embattled school district that has seen a loss of more than $1 million in funding over the past year.
Tony Leavitt, board president, took Bideau’s words to heart.
“I hope the communication from the Legislature to our level is improved,” he said. “If the idea is to starve us into consolidation, let us know, so we can begin working in that direction.”
