(Elk Horn, Iowa) – Members of the Exira-Elk Horn/Kimballton School District’s Board of Education met in a regular session Tuesday evening. According to the meeting minutes provided by Business Manager & Board Secretary/Treasurer Mallory Meyer, the Board approved several action items on their agenda, including:

• A request for allowable growth for LEP allowable costs of $2,540.88.
• An agreement to establish a consortium to jointly administer and instructional program located in space within the boundaries of the Glenwood Community School District.
• A District renovations contract with INVISION Architecture (for possible updates to the Elk Horn building, as well a secured entrance and updates to the Exira building). It essentially provides for cost estimates at this time.
• The Exira-EHK Board also passed the First Reading of a Disciplinary Policy for students who make threats of violence or cause incidents of violence.
• And, they approved the resignation of Associate Stacie Hansen, along with the hiring of Cody Parmley as Play Director and Jacki Piva as an Associate.

Superintendent Trevor Miller noted that there are four seats open on the School Board, and only three candidates running in the November 7th election. The board discussed what the next steps would be, if there is no write-in candidate, and if they will need to go through the steps of appointing someone to the board.
