It's up to voters in Pollock to decide whether its school should consolidate with Mobridge. If approved, the Pollock school building would keep its K-12 students the first year. After that, the school would stay open for elementary school students as there’s six of them. The older students would go to Mobridge. The Pollock School District has had to be efficient over the years. "I teach everything from normal art classes to junior high exploratory to video editing, desktop publishing, computer applications and supervised distance learning classes," Waynette Geigle said. So in her 16 years of teaching in Pollock, Geigle has seen many students come through her class year after year, every year, K-12. "I know if they have reading problems or certain educational challenges and so I can devise my teaching to meet those needs," Geigle said. But now that total enrolment numbers have dropped to almost 50, the money coming in isn't enough to keep up. "As far as a budget is concerned for next year, we don't feel we can meet a budget so we couldn't operate on our own for another year," school CEO Wayne Hanson said. So, student now have to wait for voters to decide where they'll go to school and their teachers will work out their futures after that. "It kind of depends what that teaching assignment would be but I would like to, yes, continue teaching in the area," Geigle said. The one thing known for certain: the current Pollock school district won't be around much longer, efficient or not. People will vote on the issue February 26.

Why did you apply to be a Skylights Sideline Shooter? I applied to be a Skylights Sideline Shooter because I love video production. Filming and editing allow me to express my creative and artistic side and show people my passion for video. When I heard about the opportunity to work for WPXI I immediately decided that this job would be perfect for me.

What do you do in your spare time? I do a lot of extra-curricular activities in school. I am President of FBLA, Senior Class Vice President, and a member of the Varsity Swim team. I am also a member of clubs such as Student Council, Interact, DECA, and National Honor Society. When I am not doing school activities I enjoy volunteering and doing community service work. I also currently have two jobs which I enjoy very much.

What do you plan to do after high school? I plan to attend a 4 year college to study either business or medicine.

The Year in Rewind

DVD Reissue of the Year: Warner Home Video's incredible release of Blade Runner was a triumph for archivist-documentarian Charles de Lauzirika, who oversaw the reconstruction of Ridley Scott's influential 1982 sci-fi detective story into a stunning new package built around a definitive new director's cut and a comprehensive documentary running over three and a half hours. And that's just the basic two-disc set; you could also opt for four- or five-disc sets that included as many as four different cuts of the movie, including the legendary Workprint version. Whether or not you buy into the theory of Deckard as a replicant, this is an essential title for your library ... particularly if you own a high-definition player. .
