Carlton sticks with superintendent

The Carlton school board this month voted to accept another one-year contract for superintendent John Engstrom. The contract for a salary of $108,784 runs from July 1 to the end of June 2022. Engstrom is currently on a one-year contract agreed to last year after Gwen Carman resigned to take a superintendent job in southern Minnesota.

Engstrom said he has yet to decide how he will use $14,000 in the contract that could be used for health care costs or as a direct benefit.
