In an effort to save more than $40,000 a year, Blissfield Community Schools has adopted a plan to share its business manager, Dan Garno, with the Lenawee Intermediate School District.
The Blissfield Board of Education approved a collaborative deal, by a 6-0 vote, with the LISD at Monday night’s meeting. Trustee Vicky Lombard was absent.
The Advance was unable to obtain specific details of the agreement Monday night. After the board meeting, Garno said that he moving to the LISD to do much of that had been done by former LISD executive director for staff resources, Jim Philp. Philp was appointed as interim superintendent of the LISD after Steve Krusich retired.
Garno called the move a “pilot project” that would need to be closely monitored by the LISD and Blissfield Community Schools.
