(KLZA)-- The Johnson-Brock Board of Education reorganized for 2016 when they met last week at the schoolhouse in Johnson.

Darren Oestmann was elected Board President and David Bohling was elected Vice President. Keith Bohling was elected Secretary and Kelli Bohling was elected Treasurer.

Resignations were accepted from Elementary Special Education teacher Mary Findeis and Title I and Media Center instructor Janice Gerdes.  

The Board congratulated teacher Landon Mackey and his students for submitting the winning idea for an APP to donate money to a homeless shelter.  Mackey will receive a $5,000 grant for STEM education from Verizon.

Superintendent Jeff Koehler informed the Board he is applying for a Nemaha County Urban Project grant to update the courtyard with a variety of maintenance free native plants and grasses. He has also been working on a Monsanto grant.
