Badger School district welcomes new superintendent and announces the launch of a new informational website


Another area school district has seen a change in administration for the 2024-2025 school year. Dan Carpenter is the new superintendent at Badger school after spending time last school year at the high school principal at Greenbush-Middle River.


Carpenter spoke on the KQ92/KRWB morning show on Wednesday about the release of a new web site for Badger school called betterforbadger.org, a site that explains the details of the upcoming November referendum vote at the Badger school and what it entails.


School officials met with the Community Action Committee on Tuesday this week and have another meeting on Monday next week 9/16 at the Badger school at 6:30pm. There will also be an ice cream social that evening. District residents and the public are encouraged to attend.

Greenbush-Middle River and Tri-County School Districts welcome new superintendent

The new school year is also seeing a change in administration at the Greenbush-Middle River and Tri-County. Kevin McKeever is the new superintendent at both schools. McKeever is no stranger to the area having served as superintendent and K-12 principal at the Badger School after which he served 23 years in the Win-E-Mac School district before returning to the area

One of the many hurdles he had to face was an August referendum vote proposing to increase the district’s general education revenue by $925 dollars per pupil, which voters passed 63-percent to 36-percent

Like many around the area, McKeever says that the first few days of the school year were good
