Monticello Times — The Monticello Public School District has officially hired Dr. Michael Favor, formerly the executive director of schools and student services for Robbinsdale Area Schools, as its interim superintendent. The hiring was finalized at a special school board meeting Tuesday night, with a 5-0 vote by board members.
The board came to the decision on Wednesday, Aug. 23 after conducting a second round of interviews with Favor and David Marlette, former superintendent of the Watertown-Mayer School District.
Favor graduated with his bachelor’s degree from North Dakota State University in 1990, and earned his master’s degree from Hamline University in 1998. He recently picked up his sixth-year licensure at St. Cloud State University.
