The Pella School Board held its annual organizational meeting Monday. The board re-elected their president as Joan Corbin and elected new vice president Elisa Klahsen and established official board positions, legal counsel, and the official publication.

Following that session, the board reviewed the district’s overall financial position, including the line-item budget for the current fiscal year and a forecast to possible scenarios for fiscal year 2024 and beyond.

The board also approved the second reading of a policy relating to employee expression and curriculum, a resolution to develop the next academic calendar with hours–which has been the case for several years, and a resolution to approve the tentative financing plan for the remaining construction projects related to the November 2021 Bond Issue.
