The  Speaker’s Task Force on Rural Schools met for the first time on Oct. 23 in Rhinelander. The task force, chaired by state Representative Rob Swearingen (R-Rhinelander), is looking for solutions to problems facing rural schools.

The public hearing—the first of four across the state—featured five superintendents from school districts in the Rhinelander area: Mike Richie, Northland Pines; Kelli Jacobi, Rhinelander; Dr. Delnice Hill, Phelps; Todd Kleinhans, Lakeland UHS; Ben Niehaus, Florence & Goodman Armstrong Creek.  Area business and community leaders also spoke to the committee.
