They also approved Amy Hemphill, Matt Lohmann and Travis Wilkins as an alternate for the level one investigators, 13 fundraising requests, an annual agreement with Behavioral Health for special education placement, and administrators for the Teacher Quality Committee.

The Board then approved the 2022-23 district insurance policy as presented, an employee assistance program with Employee Family Resources, a request for modified supplemental aid for negative special education balance, and an agreement with several other school districts for services and special education contracts as presented. 

Finally, the Board approved its four legislative priorities to be submitted to the Iowa Association of School Boards for next year’s legislative session. Those included preschool, early literacy, special education funding, and supplemental state aid.
