The Exira-EHK School Board, Monday evening, passed a mask/face covering mandate. Their action came at about the same time Governor Reynolds was enacting a statewide mask mandate. Superintendent Trevor Miller says the district’s mandate will be in-place longer than what the Governor imposed.

(The district mandate is in effect until Jan. 18th)

Miller said their Elementary kids were doing a great job with wearing masks, but it was “Hit-and-miss” with the middle school/high school students.

In other business, the Exira-EHK Board re-elected their current President, Kevin Petersen, and Vice President, Tammy Fahn. They also approved the resignation of Rick Nielsen from Instrumental Music after more than 40 years in education.

Other resignations include Andrew Nulle (Assistant Volleyball) and Doug Newton (Junior High Football). Hires include Trent Megchelsen and Alex Hansen for Junior High boys basketball along with Andrea Nulle and Courtney Peppers for Junior High Girls Basketball.
