In other business, the Pawnee City School Board approved a motion to give year-round classified district employees the option of being added to the school’s insurance plan.
The board approved another motion to increase the number of members of the Pawnee City Public School Foundation Board to seven. The board unanimously approved a motion to appoint Marissa Kobza to a term on the Foundation Board, with the term to expire in 2016.
