Western Iowa Tech Transitional Services Contract
The agenda includes consideration of a Contract for Project Success Transitional Services with Western Iowa Tech.

Consent Agenda and Reports
The scheduled consent agenda includes:
- Agenda

- Monthly bills
- Financial report
The meeting agenda also provides for Visitors/Open Forum, followed by reports and communications from principals, the superintendent, and the board.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Several agenda items could result in board action or establish the next steps for future district business. Key items to watch include the proposed bus purchase, personnel matters, IASB legislative priorities, the date for a public hearing on Flex Fund expenditures for class size reduction, the extensive second reading of board policies, the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the Project Success Transitional Services contract with Western Iowa Tech.
Because the source is a pre-meeting agenda packet, these items should be understood as matters scheduled for consideration rather than completed board actions.
