GHES receives private loan to make up state funding shortfall
Glacial Hills Elementary School may not need to sell future state aid payments afterall.
During its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, Feb. 22, the GHES Board approved a motion to take out a $25,000 loan from a local individual who has asked to remain anonymous. The move comes just three weeks after the board approved selling future state aid payments to a company known as Charter School Capital to help bridge a gap between a decrease in monthly state aid payments and an increase in state aid holdback. As part of the agreement with the school, the loan will be paid back at a five percent interest rate over the next year.
The loan is necessary to help make up the immediate capital loss at the school because of an additional 17 percent holdback from state funding. The additional holdback money will be used to help balance the state budget and is scheduled to be repaid in the fall.

New Pastor Has Local Connections
Like many rural Minnesota pastors, Pastor Michael Hanson had a wide array of duties as the head of Clarkfield Lutheran Church. On any given day there were worship services, funerals, weddings, bible studies, visiting church members in their homes, and providing guidance.
It is perhaps that wide array of duties that ultimately led him to begin a new journey in his ministry- a chaplain at Minnewaska Lutheran Home and Glenwood Retirement Village.
While a pastor at Clarkfield Lutheran Church, Hanson led a bible study and worship services at a care center and assisted living center in Clarkfield which, "got me interested in being a chaplain."
