(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education heard a request to add girls golf as a fall sport when they met last week.

Nemaha Central High School students Jade Macke, Olivia Ganstrom and Katie Maty appeared before the Board to request that the sport be added, beginning in the fall of 2025.

The board was told a poll conducted of 8th through 11th grade girls indicated there was interest in the sport at all grade levels.

The board requested to have High School Athletic Director Kelly Williams bring information to the January meeting on the costs of adding the sport.

In other business, the board accepted the resignations of three Nemaha Central Elementary and Middle School teachers, effective at the end of the 2024-25 school year. They include 2nd grade teacher Heidi Holthaus, 5th grade teacher Lisa Holthaus and Middle School teacher Betty Peterson, who is retiring.

The board also approved the extension of administrative contracts for additional year through June 2027 for Superintendent Tavis Desormiers, Marshall/Nemaha Special Education Cooperative Director Shana Steinlage, High School Principal Ben Scism, Elementary/Middle School Assistant Principal Jessica Koch and High School Assistant Principal Kelly Williams.
