USD 383 Manhattan-Ogden School board members on Wednesday November 15, 2023 (AJ Shaw/News Radio KMAN)
Talks on a new MOU agreement between USD 383 and MATC continue to stall according to USD 383 superintendent Eric Reid.
Reid first reported on the disagreement at the board’s last meeting on Nov. 1 and reported at Wednesday’s meeting that the two sides are still far apart on an agreement.
USD 383 School Board President Karla Hagemeister says that while she hopes a deal can be done soon, the board may have to look at different alternatives if a deal with MATC isn’t agreed to.
