USD 415 Board Members Terms Extended
04/13/2016

(KNZA)--The Hiawatha Board of Education Monday evening approved a resolution extending the terms of office for three board members whose terms would have expired next year.

The terms of John Wright, Dr. Pete Rosa, and Denise Elffner won’t expire now until the second Monday in January of 2018 instead of July 2017.

The terms of the remaining four board members won’t expire until January 2020.

The action was necessary due to a bill passed by the Kansas Legislature and signed by Governor Sam Brownback last year moving city and school board elections from the spring to the fall.

Following an executive session, the board approved the hiring of Molly Strathman as a 1st grade teacher and Marissa Grier as a third grade teacher.  The Board also accepted the resignation of elementary school paraprofessional Tammy Adams.

As part their consent agenda earlier in the meeting, the board accepted the resignation of 4th grade teacher Jamie Milam.
