The Pella School Board welcomed a new member at a work session Monday. Board President Joan Corbin announced Elisa Klahsen will replace retired member Gregg Gustafson. Klahsen took the oath of office for the at-large seat with a term that will continue until November 2021.

The board then reviewed their platform for 2020-21 Legislative Priorities with the Iowa Association of School Boards, the 2020 activities handbook, and set board meeting dates for the upcoming academic year. An additional update about Return to Learn was shared as well, as this was the final summer meeting before classes begin on August 20th.
