I've added an info box with general information about the district including when it was formed, what grades are offered, enrollment as off 2022-23, colors and mascot. I've also added more information such as the SAU number, and a new section for the school board. I've removed the history section because it offered such a small glimpse into the district but intend to revisit that section later.
