Bruer takes over as superintendent
August 13, 2008
The Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton school district has gotten a new superintendent with a familiar face. Randy Bruer was recently named the superintendent, replacing Bernie Lipp and he may be familiar to some. Bruer began his education career training as a teacher in Glyndon, MN back in 1979.
Bruer is the former district superintendent of Fisher, MN where he was known for his balanced budgets and aggressive actions in handling the Fisher school districts enrollment crisis. Bruer started his superintendent role nearly 15 years ago in a Fischer school district that was facing a all-time low student count. The district was facing school closings do to the low enrollment, but Bruer began a campaign to woo students and parents from the larger neighboring Crookston and East Grand Forks district’s. The tactic worked and the enrollment in the district is now about 300 students with almost a third of those students coming from neighboring district’s.
