Editorial: Local control works best

The Public Opinion’s editorial board has been a strong supporter of local control in education for years. The people at the helm of local control in our community, however, are now struggling with some difficult decisions thanks to the decision by the governor and Legislature to reduce the amount of state aid to education. Whether you like the actions taken in Pierre recently, the reality is there are some tough decisions that need to be made in the coming months.
