Our very own Tiger, Louie Krogman, will be inducted into the South Dakota Basketball Hall Of Fame today at 1:00 pm in Sioux Falls. Louie's basketball accomplishments include becoming South Dakota’s all-time high school scoring leader with 3,521 points. In his senior season in 2008, as the Tigers won the Class B state championship, Krogman averaged 33 points per game. He won the 'Spirit of Su' award, named South Dakota’s Mr. Basketball, and the Gatorade Player of the Year in 2008. He then scored over 1,600 points for the University of South Dakota.
Louie has always represented White River with the utmost class and respect, on and off the court.
Congrats Louie to you and your family on this accomplishment and honor, the Tiger family is proud of you!!

B. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION—is placed first on the Agenda to accommodate (1) a school patron who wishes to address the Board; or, (2) a patron who wishes to present a proposal or concern; or, (3) to a patron who has provided the Board Chairman with a written grievance prior to the meeting which has not been resolved after the school patron has worked through the school organization. (Working through the organization means the school patron has met with the staff member, as appropriate; and with the principal, as needed; and/or, then with the superintendent.)
If these meetings have been held and the grievance remains unsolved, the Board will deal with the written grievance at its meeting. If not, the Board shall proceed, without interruption, with the other business of the Board.
Personnel matters of a controversial nature, which would include students, teachers, or other persons, shall not be discussed by the Board in open session with a school patron. A school patron may request an executive session with the Board. (An executive session may be granted at the Board’s discretion; and, only after the Board’s business is concluded. This is an accommodation to other school patrons who are attending this meeting.)
Anyone wishing to speak to the Board must be acknowledged by the Board Chairman. This will permit the meeting to be handled in an orderly manner. Speakers are requested to identify themselves and their topic and are asked to limit their remarks to five (5) minutes. Thank you for your attendance, interest, and participation.
