Superintendents Meet with Senators and Representatives
The MRVED Superintendents had the opportunity to meet and visit with a couple local senators and representatives on Wednesday, January 27th.  Senator Dahms, Senator Koenen, and Representative Swedzinski talked with the Superintendents and answered questions regarding the upcoming session. Overall, it was a positive meeting and both sides felt they learned something from each other.  Thank you to the Senators and Representatives for taking the time to meet with our school administrators and hear the issues facing rural schools.

Meet the MRVED

Meet Mary Brown. Mary is the Administrative Assistant for the MRVED. She is originally from the Iron Range, spent several years in the Twin Cities area, and moved to Montevideo in 1992. She joined the MRVED in 1993 and has seen many changes over the years. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Northern Michigan University and in a former life worked as a probation officer (who knew???). She and her husband have a daughter, Lana, who is an athletic trainer in northern Minnesota, and a son, Matthew, who owns Prairieland Builders in Montevideo and is married with two “beautiful” daughters with a third baby on the way. Mary enjoys playing with her grandbabies, cooking, baking bread, and spending time 320 miles north at their cabin on Lake Vermilion.
