REED CAMPBELL NEW BRAINERD SCHOOL BOARD CHAIR

Banker Reed Campbell was elected Brainerd School District board chairman at Wednesday's meeting. Campbell was the board vice chair last year and was re-elected to his second term last fall. Board member Ruth Gmeinder was elected this year's board vice chair. Campbell told the Brainerd Dispatch there are tough decisions to make in the coming year. The board has to trim next year's budget by roughly $5.5-Million by the end of June.
