Another school year is under way for Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Schools.  The district is one of the largest area employers and will spend around $63 million from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.  The district's size, by a variety of measures, is larger than many communities.  It is not just another one-room country school house.

Another summer of preparation has taken place; staff training, cleaning, painting, construction, and the list goes on and on.  Starting a school year with everything in place is a monumental task.  I credit staff who has worked diligently over the past months to be ready for this enterprise to launch.
