Principal of Watford City High School, James Green, has been appointed to a new task force created by Gov. Doug Burgum.
The Task Force for Teacher Retention and Recruitment was created to address the state’s chronic teacher shortage. The 15-member task force is made of Burgum, State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler, or their designees, and 13 members appointed by the governor and representing stakeholders across the education community.
When it was announced that the governor was looking for those interested in being part of this task force, Green decided to apply. He was one of 140 applicants and he says he is honored to be part of it.
