The Exira-EHK School Board met Monday evening and held a Public Hearing on a Possible Early Start Calendar for the 2020-21 School Year. Superintendent Trevor Miller said he’s shared the calendar with the Board and Public prior to the hearing, and there were no comments in opposition.

(He said it’s an option the State still needs to approve, but assuming it is okayed, the first day of school would be Aug. 12.)

Miller said there were no changes in the fees this coming school year, other than those which were mandated by the government for a 10-cent increase on adult lunch meals and 5-cents to the breakfast meals.

And, the Exira-EHK Board approved some staff new hires.

(The Board approved the hiring of a husband & wife Spanish Exchange couple, pending approval of travel to the U-S. The Audubon School Board also approved the couple during their meeting on Monday. Also, Courtney Peppers was hired as Assistant Softball Coach.)
