USD 415 board approves location for new signs

(KNZA)--The Hiawatha School Board has approved the location for new signs to replace a pair of state championship signs located around Red Hawk Drive.

Pam Smith, representing a group of Hiawatha alumni, met with the Board Monday evening by video conference to provide an update on the project and ask them to make a decision on where the signs would be located so they can move forward with fund-raising efforts.

The group approached the school board in February to propose replacing the 1980 football and 1978-79 girls basketball signs, which have faded over years and fallen into a state of disrepair.

Smith said the group would like to see the signs relocated to a more visible location, preferable on 1st Street near the electric marquee.

Following a lengthy discussion, the Board unanimously approved the First Street location, and asked Smith to make the signs two-sided if enough funds are raised.

The cross country sign will stay in it's current location on the north side of Red Hawk Drive.

Tax deductible donations toward the new signs can be sent to the USD 415 board office.
