(KLZA)--Kevin Scheitel was elected President of the Falls City Board of Education Monday evening.  John Martin will serve as Vice-President for 2020. 

The Board approved continuation of Superintendent Tim Heckenlively's employment contract through June 30, 2022.  A Master Teacher contract for the 202021 school year was also approved during the meeting. 

Superintendent Heckenlively reported construction has begun on the new press box at Jug Brown Stadium.  A $20-thousand donation from the family of Dr. Larry Stednitz will assist in the construction of the new single-level structure.

Murphy Construction demolished the old press box and started new construction in early January. 

Multiple organizations and individuals have stepped forward with monetary donations to help support a new sound system, electrical requirements and new furnishings.  Donations continue to be accepted to fund the new pressbox.
