LifeSmartsJamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Oct 21, 2013) — The Jamestown Public School Board has approved compensating the school district’s LifeSmarts adviser,under the recommendation of the co-curricular committee of $542, annually.

The vote at Monday evening’s meeting was unanimous.

LifeSmarts is an academic competition team that has been coached on a volunteer basis for the past nine years by teacher Marchel Krieger.

The School Board heard a recommendation from Superintendent Lech, that board members cease attending national conventions and membership in the National School Board Association until the district’s financial situation improves, despite his “fervent support” of those resources.

 The meeting  was recorded by CSi 10 THE REPLAY CHANNEL, with showings starting later Tuesday.
