It is my understanding that the increase in the Cherry school student population is from open enrollment. Open enrollment is a fickle issue, the numbers are variable and can't be depended on year after year. It's the people who live in the district that have to pay the cost, despite the state funding that goes along with open enrollment. We don't know why these students are enrolling in Cherry, some say sports participation (kids can make the team at Cherry, where they can't at Hibbing, etc), others like Albertson says it's the quality education.

At any rate, people in the district are upset with Johnson Controls, but the school board once again ignores the voters and goes ahead and hires the outfit anyway. Any wonder why we are upset?
