"Gov. Mike Rounds deserves praise and thanks for his help in keeping the Crow Creek Tribal School open.
The school was in a dispute with insurance carrier St. Paul Travelers over a fire last year that destroyed a dormitory, which also housed a kitchen and offices. The school already used money for temporary classrooms, just to stay in operation at all, but that put it short of cash.
Rounds arranged a meeting - with school, tribal, state and insurance company officials - to resolve the dispute."
