The Exira-Elk Horn/Kimballton School Board will meet Monday night at the high school in Elk Horn. During the 7-p.m. session, the Board will hold a public hearing on a Resolution for the sale of land associated with the former elementary school in Exira.
On June 1st, the nearly century old elementary school was destroyed during a controlled burn that was also used as a training exercise for area firefighters. During the Exira-EHK School Board meeting last month, the Board agreed to sell the property for $5,000, but the purchase can only be approved following a public hearing. The land was purchased by area resident Marvin Jorgenson. Superintendent Dean Schnoes says tentative plans call for the land to be used for a retirement home/assisted living facility, and/or a medical facility. Later on during Monday’s meeting, the Board will act on approving a Resolution to sell the land, along with approving a Quit Claim Deed.
In other business, the school board will act on: Open Enrollments; a contract for Pre-School Para-educator Catherine Menter; Possibly changing the date and/or time for the November Board meeting; and, on approving a contract with the Atlantic Community School District with regard to the Cass County Educational Opportunity Center (CCEOC).
