It's a crowded field if you're voting in the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District this fall, as nine have thrown their name in the ring for three open board spots.
For 15 years, Jerry Von Korff spent his time on the District 742 making sure the district would be better off when he left and looking back, he says he feels good about his time.
District 742 is leaning toward selling the former Wilson School and prefers its current tenant, Little Saints Academy, however, they're caught between dual responsibilities.
Students of color and mixed race make up nearly one-third of Minnesota's public school enrollment, but only 3 percent of school district board members are minorities.
