Williston City Schools Raised to First Class Status
Superintendent Ellsthorpe announced Williston schools have been elevated from second to first class by the State High School Board. The move, boosting state apportionment to $500, comes with improved college entry options for graduates and several benefits for teachers and the community. The board plans future funding of $1000 per first class school and seeks $45,000 from the legislature, with recommendations on spending half the apportionment for teachers and the rest for supplies.
