USD 415 board leadership to remain same

(KNZA)--Hiawatha School Board leadership will remain the same for the 2025-26 school year.

On Monday evening, Roni Tietjens was re-elected as board president and Ryan Patton as vice-president. Patton was not present at the meeting.

Prior to the vote, Board member Ian Schuetz said officers typically have held roles for two years and Tietjens and Patton have both served one.

Schuetz said the board officers have a lot to do with the crafting of the budget, and he would support both of them again as long as they did not agree to double digit tax increases on homeowners.

Tietjens said she is concerned about taxes but didn't want to commit to an exact number as it would be about what is best for the district.

With that, Schuetz nominated Tietjens as president, and Tietjens nominated Patton as vice-president. Both were approved on 6-0 votes.

In other business, the Board approved an amended calendar for the 2025-26 school year.

Superintendent Lonnie Moser said the main change is that November 24 and 25th, which originally were scheduled as school days, will now be professional development days for teachers. That would give students the week of Thanksgiving off.

August 4th was also removed as an enrollment day on the calendar. In addition, November 12th, which was originally scheduled for early dismissal, will now be a full scheduled day.
