Free Reading & Math Tutoring from Scholar Squad

Let’s face it. COVID-19 has made everything challenging this year, especially learning. Reading Corps and Math Corps have launched a new initiative to help! Scholar Squad offers one-on-one, online tutoring for Minnesota students in PreK-8th grade, and it’s easy to get started.
Visit ScholarSquad.org to request help for your child. A literacy or math coach will be in touch to set up a time to learn more about your child and conduct a short screening. If the screening shows your child could use extra help to boost their skills, you’ll be matched with a tutor who will provide one-on-one practice and support.

Powered by AmeriCorps, tutoring is provided at no cost to families.

La Crescent-Hokah School Board Selects Eric Martinez as next Superintendent

The La Crescent-Hokah School Board is proud to announce that Mr. Eric Martinez has been
selected as the district’s next superintendent effective July 1, 2021. Current Superintendent
Kevin Cardille will be retiring on June 30, 2021.

“We were pleased to work with the Minnesota School Board Association’s Superintendent
Search Program, utilizing their expertise in recruitment that ultimately attracted 15 qualified
candidates. Using input from staff, administration, and community members to guide our
decision making, the Board interviewed five candidates and then narrowed the field to two
candidates. Mr. Eric Martinez emerged as the best fit for our district,” said Board Chair Eric
Morken.

Chair Morken added, “There were several quotes from Mr. Martinez’s interviews that stood out
to me. They included, ‘People don’t perform well if they do not feel safe,’ ‘We need the best
version of you,’ and ‘How can we work together to get staff and students where we need and
want them to be?’”

Mr. Martinez has served as a high school social studies teacher, an assistant high school
principal, and has most recently served as the 4th-12th grade principal for
Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Community Schools from 2012 until present. Mr. Martinez notes,
“I am incredibly excited for this opportunity to grow with the La Crescent-Hokah Lancers.
Creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication are very important to me, and I am
excited to learn about all of the opportunities for growth in the La Crescent-Hokah Public
Schools. I look forward to serving in such a great community.”

The La Crescent-Hokah Board of Education approved the contract for Mr. Martinez at the April
6, 2021 special meeting.
