(KNZA)--The Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education is considering the possibility of combing elementary classes at the Wetmore Attendance Center.

Superintendent Todd Evans says the Board discussed the issue at length during their regular meeting this week.

He says much of the conservation was about the number of students that could potentially be in a combined classroom.  Evans said there was also discussion about professional development needs for teachers, the short time line for preparation and need for additional information.

He says the Board will be revisiting the issue at their June 6th meeting.

In other business, Evans says the Board approved the hiring of a director of student learning.

He says the position will absorb many of the duties and responsibilities that were previously performed by the district’s assistant superintendent, who is resigning effective at the end of the current school year.

Evans says the Board approved the formation of a committee consisting of himself, Board member Kathy Lippert and another district administrator to interview candidates for the position.
