80 Applicants for Logan Schools Superintendent Post
Logan Board president Don Russell told a Welcome Wagon meeting that 80 persons have applied for the superintendent job.

He noted elementary space needs and repairs, possible kindergarten funding effects, and that Logan teachers’ salaries, while above minimum, fall below standards for comparable districts.
