While the future building configuration of the Newton Community School District has been the pivotal topic at the last few school board work sessions and meetings, the matter isn’t on the agenda for Monday’s meeting.
Superintendent Bob Callaghan will deliver his usual campus communications report and recap the district’s involvement with the Ukrainian education delegates that visited Newton this week.
This past Monday the delegates visited the district’s administrative offices at Emerson Hough, and had dinner with the board of education at an informal work session. Tuesday the delegates visited Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson elementary schools and Berg Middle School. On Friday, the delegates toured Newton Senior High School and visited with students and staff there.
Monday’s meeting will also feature several action items for the board to vote on. Items include a bid for new garage doors, a transportation request for the Prairie-City Monroe Community School District, an early retirement consideration and choosing delegates for the Iowa Association of School Boards’ annual convention in November.
