(KNZA)--There will be no change in the kindergarten schedule at the Hiawatha Elementary School for the 2017-18 school year.
Following discussion during a special Board of Education meeting Thursday morning, a motion was made to continue with no changes this school year and to change to five, full days for the 2018-19 school year. However, the motion failed on a 3-1 vote. As a result, the schedule will remain the same.
In other action, the board accepted the resignation of Trish Gibson as 6th grade teacher and Middle School activities director, effective immediately.
The board also accepted the resignation of bus driver, Lester Soyland.
Following an executive session, two supplemental contracts were approved. They included Karl Kliewer as freshman boys basketball coach and Katie Miller as forensics coach.
The Board also approved the substitute teacher handbook for the 2017-18 school year. Under the handbook, the daily pay rate for substitute teachers will increase from $85 to $95.
