More than 40 Announce Retirement from ISD 728 

More than 40 Announce Retirement from ISD 728 

From beloved principals to longtime special assistants, senior secretaries to head cooks, we celebrate with these employees who spent their time with the ISD 728 family. Retirement means, for many, a new chapter, and we’re looking forward to seeing what they write! 

To our retirees: Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us in ISD 728. You made a difference in a child’s life. And that is a true calling. We appreciate you. We wish you the best on the next phase of your journey. And we hope you come back and see us any time!

Years of Service Commendations

The Superintendent and Executive Director of Human Resources also visited buildings to commend those who had reached "milestone" anniversaries, including one of 50 years of service!!! We thank everyone who has reached that 10, 20, 30, 40 or even 50 (we still can't believe it, either)-year mark for their dedication. 

You have made a difference, and you're part of what makes this place an amazing community for learning!
