(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central Board of Education has approved the addition of girls golf as a fall sport at the high school, beginning in the fall of 2025.
The board unanimously approved the addition of the sport when they met last week.
That came after Superintendent Tavis Desormiers reviewed estimated startup costs for the program and scheduling possibilities.
A group of Nemaha Central High School students appeared at last month's board meeting to request that the sport be added.
In other business, the board approved the 2025-26 school calendar as presented. The first day of school will be August 14 and the final day for students will be May 19.
The board elected officers for 2025. Amy Sudbeck was re-elected as board president and Cara Baker as vice-president.
In addition, the board approved the purchase of a Skid-Steer loader from Case IH with a bucket attachment and a rotary broom for a total of $49,200 with a trade-in.
