📰 News we're reading
• Board deadlocked on president, vice president (gazettextra.com) — Antigo’s school board remains stuck on choosing its president and vice president, with repeated 4–4 ties keeping current leaders in limbo. Despite the stalemate, members assigned key roles, including representation for city tax districts and CESA 9, and debated which local paper qualifies as the district’s official publication. 
• 11 candidates interviewed, no one seated (gazettextra.com) — Antigo’s school board interviewed 11 candidates this week for a vacant seat but couldn’t agree on anyone, leaving the position unfilled for now. Members debated their one-ballot selection process, fairness to candidates, and whether policies should change before trying again at Monday’s regular meeting.
