(KLZA)-- The Falls City Board of Education reorganized for 2022 during their Monday night meeting. 

June Bowers was elected President of the Board for the next year with Richard Malcolm elected Vice-President. 

The Board approved continuing the contract of Superintendent Tim Heckemlively through June 30, 2024.  A three percent increase in salary was approved as part of the contract making his salary $158,620.

Heckenlively reported that the December 14 windstorm that moved through the area caused extensive damage to areas of the high school roof.  An insurance claim has been filed and the schools roofing consultant is soliciting lump sum bids to provide supervision, labor, materials and equipment for installation of the damaged roof.  

Heckenlively noted that due to the timing and many school districts already having scheduled roof work for the summer of 2022, it could be 2023 before the permanent repairs can be made.  The roof has been patched for now so no water should leak through.
