He also served as Language Arts Teacher at Ruthven-Ayrshire School District. His contract becomes effective July 1, 2014.

The Board also approved a contract for the High School PE teacher position. Eric Kellar currently teaches PE at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, and serves as the Head Football Coach and Head Track Coach there.

The board also heard discussion of bids for the driver education program; approved wages and salary for administrative and support staff; and approved a sharing agreement for a Supervisor of Maintenance Operations with Pella School District.

The Board would like clarification on the bids presented.
