Students are learning, teachers are teaching, and activities are buzzing along at Kasson-Mantorville Schools like any other normal school year. However, what’s going on behind the scenes with the K-M administration seems to be anything but normal.

Now in her 26th year of teaching, Tara Bradford has been named No. 1.
The elementary librarian and STEM teacher, Bradford was recently named Teacher of the Year by her Triton Public School peers. Eight teachers were nominated for the award.
“It’s humbling for sure,” she said. “Everybody who was nominated is definitely worthy of that nomination. It’s so unexpected. I’m grateful and it’s rewarding for sure. It’s an honor.”

The issues facing EMS departments in rural Minnesota and the future of the current models were the topics of a roundtable discussion last week in Dodge Center.
John Fox, the assistant ambulance director in Dodge Center, was joined on the panel by Minnesota Ambulance Association (MAA) President Michael Juntunen and Mark Jones of the MN Rural Health Association. Kate Raddatz was the moderator of the session. MAA hosted the session.

The future of the Dodge Center Ambulance is still in question, after talks of a potential taxing district broke down earlier this year.
