When nature calls, it’s nice to have a restroom available, especially when you’re at a local sporting event. Exira-Elk Horn Kimballton Superintendent Dean Schnoes said the District School Board Monday night made the decision to remodel one of the facilities at the Exira Football Field to better accommodate spectators.

He said for the last few years, they’ve brought in porta-potties. On the south end of one of the buildings, though there is a men’s/women’s restroom, but only one stall. The Board realized that because there is room in the building, they’ll undertake a two-phase project to incorporate more bathrooms. A remodeling of the building will include additional stalls in both the men’s and women’s restrooms.

The Exira-EHK Board also set April 11^th at 5-p.m. as the date and time for a public hearing on the 2016-17 School Budget and Calendar. At that same meeting, they’re expected to wrap-up negotiations with the education association and get the contracts sent out.
