The Exira-EHK School Board, Monday night, discussed but took no action on, offering an Early Retirement incentive package. Superintendent Trevor Miller says instead, they’ll make that decision during their meeting in December. Miller said three people are eligible for Early Retirement this year.

In other business, the Board hired Mark Emgarten as Junior High Girls Basketball Coach, who formerly served as the Adair-Casey Boys Basketball Coach, and, they accepted the resignation of long-time teacher Julie Christensen, whose resignation is effective at the end of the current school year. Christensen retired once, and came back to serve part-time. Now, after having served the district for 42-years, she’s decided to pursue other avenues in life.

They also approved the sharing of a Human Resources position with the Neola/Tri-Center School District. And, the Board also talked about what they discussed and had learned at the IASB Convention last week, as well as acted on approving the SBRC (School Budget Review Committee) application for Modified Allowable Growth for Increasing Enrollment, Open Enrollment Out, and LEP (Limited English Proficiency) Instruction beyond 5-years.
