Letter from the Editor

Best wishes to everyone for 2005!

This time of year our membership has a split focus: districts are in the middle of their academic year, with heavy emphasis on student achievement, testing, outreach competitions and pending graduations; while our cities and counties are trying to smile at the Minnesota winter and “Think Spring” while planning for the next growing season.

SCSC staff remains busy finding new partnerships and options to assist members in their daily activities and challenges. Please take time to review this newsletter which contains articles on our newest products, services and academic challenges. Whether you are looking for a way to cure your districts health and safety concerns, safeguard your family with insurance options, enroll in a professional development program, save money utilizing cooperative purchasing options, nominate an outstanding educator or student, or register for a new student academic challenge/contest —South Central Service Cooperative can help you to accomplish your goals.
Being a member of the service cooperative family can provide you with many options and opportunities. We look forward to “Working for You!”
