The school board voted Monday evening to re-instate driver’s education in the district this summer pending the hiring of a certified instructor.

Superintendent Penny Hargrove said thirty-two students have expressed an interest in taking the class The fee for the class will be $230 per student.

For the past several years, students in the Hiawatha school district have taken driver’s education through the Atchison-based Northeast Kansas Driving School.
