The Prior Lake-Savage Area School District will welcome a new director of operations and transportation to its staff.

Jim Dellwo has been named to the position, subject to School Board approval at its April 14 meeting. Dellwo currently serves as maintenance operations coordinator for Eden Prairie Public Schools. Dellwo would begin his position May 12. He will replace Dan Mehlies, who retired last month from the operations position.

Due to budget cuts, the board merged the positions of operations and transportation oversight, broadening the job's tasks within the district.
