Soon after the start of the Cherokee School Board meeting last Wednesday, Dec. 11, Superintendent Donna Anderson brought the board’s attention to an item in the treasurer’s report of fund balances, which is part of the consent agenda.

Although we lived in town, there always seemed to be someone willing to let us go out to their pasture to cut a tree for Christmas. A w...
