North Winn will share three employees with Decorah next school year

The North Winneshiek School Board has approved agreements to share three employees with the Decorah School District in the 2017-2018 school year.

The board Monday night approved a proposal to have art teacher Susan Heier and music teacher Alex Gisleson both teach 1.5 hours/week at West Side School.

The board also approved a proposal to have Decorah Operations and Maintenance Director Greg Schaller spend 20 percent of his time at North Winneshiek.  North Winn will pay $16,258--20 percent of his salary and benefits.

North Winneshiek will get extra state aid payments because of the arrangement.  It will be paid an extra $32,000 in state aid for the sharing of this position, meaning it will have a positive financial gain of over $15,000.
