(KLZA)-- The Mound City Board of Education met last week.

Following a closed session to discuss personnel the Board voted unanimously to extend the contracts of Elementary and Middle School Principal Emily Petersen and the contract of High School Principal Jake Shipman, each by a year through the 2026-27 school year.

Superintendent Korey Miles discussed the current Snow Day / AMI Day situation for the Mound City District. The Mound City School District has missed 4 days of school due to snow and cold and used 4 AMI days.

Mound City is currently on pace for 1,060 hours of school and must be in session having 1,044 hours of school for the year.

As of now, it will not be necessary to make up any school days missed due to the weather with 2 AMI days and approximately 2 school days left before make-up days are required.

Superintendent Miles said canceling school is not an easy decision and not one that he takes lightly, feeling the importance of staying as close to the calendar as possible and avoiding make-up days if possible.
