The Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton School Board met Monday evening and acted on personnel matters and reviewed 300 series Board Policies. Superintendent Trevor Miller said the IASB sent out updates that Board reviewed to make sure they were covered and not exposed to any potential legal issues. The first reading on some of those policies passed. Miller told KJAN News the Teachers Union provided the Board with a “Letter of Intent to Negotiate.” They’ll start on negotiations sometime next month. Right now, the district is waiting on its insurance renewal costs and what the State sets for supplemental aid.

Miller said hearing on the 2019-20 District Calendar will be held at the start of the February School Board meeting. There were also some hiring of current personnel for various in-district positions. He said Tony Santisteban was hired as Boys Track Coach; Lisa Dreier, Jr. High Track Coach; Payton Wilkenfeld, Girls Track Coach; Ashton Koelhmoos, who is Volleyball Coach, will also serve as the Head Softball Coach. And, Mr. Miller will serve as as Baseball Coach for one more year.
