Board will discuss City Hall proposal on Capital St.

Talk about it

Members of the Mitchell Board of Education will discuss a proposal to move Mitchell City Hall to the Mitchell Technical Institute North campus building on Capital Street when they meet in regular session at 5 p.m. today in MTI’s Campus Center building, on East Spruce St., Mitchell.

Following the business portion of the meeting, the board will tour buildings at the MTI South campus, which are currently under construction.

The agenda includes board consideration to:

- Approve, on second reading, revisions to board policies as they apply to: notification of board meetings, the loaning of textbooks, open enrollment, and exclusions and exemptions from school attendance.

- Approve a new five-year contract to provide bus transportation for the school district.

- Approve certain school district property as surplus, so that it may be sold.

- Discuss renovating a portion of the north campus building at MTI as the new Mitchell City Hall. The Mitchell Career and Technical Education Academy will also use the building, and three new programs will begin there when school starts on Aug. 20. Superintendent Joe Graves will present the topic.

The board will also approve the following personnel items as part of a consent agenda:

- Regular hires: Evan Eidem, precision technology instructor, MTI, $45,000, effective Aug. 13; Callie Beck, bookstore assistant, MTI effective Aug. 2.
