The Pawnee City School Board took action during its meeting Monday on several recommendations from the Pawnee City Public School Foundation. That includes the awarding of the Foundation’s scholarships for the current school year.
The scholarships include 17 “Learn to Dream” scholarships, the $1,000 Ruth Marshall Scholarship; the $1,000 Hauner Agricultural Scholarship; five $1,000 renewable Thiemann Scholarships; 10 non-renewable Thiemann Scholarships; and eight $1,000 Pawnee City Public Schools Foundation Scholarships.

The board approved continuing the wrestling co-op with the HTRS School District for the next two years.
And the board finalized the end of the current school year, with the final day of class scheduled form Thursday, May 17th.
