(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central Board of Education has delayed a decision on whether to add a high school wresting program.
USD 115 Superintendent Darrel Kohlman said the Board during their February 3rd meeting continued a discussion they began last month about adding the sport but tabled action until their March board meeting in order to gather more information.
While the board is supportive, Kohlman said they wanted more information on start-up costs and a location that will be used for practices before making a final decision.
This school year marked the 1st year for a wrestling program at Nemaha Central Middle School.
A survey of students in grades 8-11, which was shared with the Board last month, showed considerable interest in establishing a high school wrestling program among both male and female athletes.
