The District #18 Board of Education met for just under 80 minutes Wednesday night.
In so little time, they took action which will shape the direction of the school for the next two years.
On a unanimous vote (6-0), the school board approved a two-year extension to the contract for K-12 Principal Greg Wemhoff who also happens to be the head football coach.
By inking Wemhoff to a new two-year contract, the principal will receive an increase in pay. For the 2022-2023 school year, Wemhoff will receive a salary of $98,747.10. In the second year of the contract, Wemhoff will receive a salary in excess of $101,000.
The board also made adjustments to how sick leave can be used to attend funerals for immediate family, friends and relatives.
The other big news was the board approving the early retirement application and resignation of art instructor Rita Heithoff.
Having announced weeks ago that she intended to retire at the end of the school year, Heithoff will have completed 23 years service to the school district.
In other action:
Gym floors — Court Floors was hired to refinish both gym floors at the school at a cost of $2,780.
School policies — The board approved on second reading policies involving board membership – elections and appointments; term of office and vacancies.
