New Sports Co-op Option
By Jessica Wald
Napoleon School Superintendent Rich Bjerklie reviewed the possibility of a new sporting co-op option with the Napoleon School Board during their regular monthly meeting last Monday, January 12.
He said the Strasburg School superintendent contacted him about how the Strasburg School is looking into options for co-oping with a few different area schools for their girls’ basketball program.
Bjerklie noted how the Napoleon school is in a full co-op with Gackle-Streeter and they are not looking to change anything with that. Some comments from the board included: how it’s a long drive for daily practices, from Strasburg to Napoleon and then Strasburg to Gackle, where a couple practices are also held throughout the year; Strasburg would need to agree with N-G/S’s terms; a co-op could be a possibility to see numbers in the girls’ basketball program increase. No formal decisions. . .
