For the past several years, the board has held a work session on the second Wednesday of each month, usually hearing informational presentations from teachers in the various subject areas. Board members returned the next Wednesday for the regular meeting.
Going forward, the board will convene once each month, with a work session at 5:15 pm followed by the regular meeting at 6:30 on the third Wednesday of the month. The exception is November; that meeting will be Nov. 12 to allow board members to attend the Iowa Association of School Boards’ annual convention the following week. Meetings are held at the administrative building (formerly south grade school).
