The Boyer Valley and Woodbine districts in far western Iowa are sharing a superintendent to cut down on administration costs. That superintendent is none other than 1998-2001 North Tama football coach and math teacher Doug Gee.
In 2014, Gee was assistant principal and AD at Adel-De Soto-Minburn and considered for principal at Carroll. Instead, he was hired as as a hybrid principal/superintendent at Boyer Valley. Then Woodbine, who was in financial trouble, asked if Boyer Valley would share, and BV agreed.
Last month, the Boyer Valley board narrowly voted to end the sharing agreement, but then reversed itself. Key paragraph (from the Nonpareil):
By moving to a 50-50 share, the sharing agreement approved by Boyer Valley and Woodbine moves away from the current 60-40 split, where Woodbine only pays for 30 percent of Gee’s salary. By having a sharing agreement, both districts will receive about $51,500 from the state in incentive payments, easing finances in both districts.
