Jordan Superintendent Larry Kauzlarich isn’t receiving the help he had hoped for.

Kauzlarich said the ideas for reducing the district’s operating costs have not been coming in from the public like he expected. As it is, Kauzlarich said, most of the suggestions have been raised internally through the administration.

“From the community, I’m getting nothing in the way of suggestions,” Kauzlarich said.

The Jordan School board held a small ceremony to swear in its two new members Monday.

Scott Erickson was gone during last regular meeting of the board, so he was officially sworn in Monday, while Sheila Bauer had already taken the oath of office of a school board member. She restated the oath with Erickson as part of the ceremony.

Superintendent Larry Kauzlarich said he has seen other schools use the swearing-in ceremony and thought it would be nice to bring to Jordan.

“It’s nice to let people know who the new members are,” he said.

The Jordan School Board held its first meeting of 2008 Monday, and the first order of business was to set the board officers and reorganize the board.

Dan Buresh was selected as the board chairman, replacing Ira Beckman. Jim Donna was named the vice chairman. Tammy will was named as the board clerk, replacing Bob Vollbrecht. Deb Pauly was named as the treasurer, Will’s previous position.

Here is a list of the committee assignments of each board member:
