(KLZA)-- The Pawnee City Board of Education approved the Special Education Contract with Educational Service Unit #4 for the next school year when they met last week.

The District will pay $229,315 for the services.

In other business the Board approved a teaching contract for Donald Jacobs to serve as an interim teacher during the 2023-24 school year, and accepted his resignation from that position at the end of the the 23-24 school year.

Jacobs will serve as Middle School Social Studies and Special Education Instructor. He is a certified teacher and has served a number of positions with the Pawnee City School in recent years.

It was noted that there was only limited interest in the position. Jacobs will be taking necessary coursework to get a provisional special education endorsement which is good for three years.
