(KAIR)--Re-introducing Industrial Arts and Ag Education at the Valley Falls schools is the goal of a parents group working to make that a reality.

According to a release issued on behalf of the parents group, a meeting focused on their goal is scheduled to happen Wednesday evening, February 26.

According to the minutes of the USD 338 Board of Education’s February 11 meeting, the special session was agreed to on a unanimous vote of the board.

The release from the parents group says Valley Falls and Oskaloosa USD 341 are the only school districts in the local region not offering Agricultural Education and Industrial Arts.

$60,000 is needed to make the program possible in Valley Falls, as well as annual district budgeting to sustain it annually.

The special Board of Education meeting, focused on the goal, is scheduled to begin Wednesday evening at 6:30 in the school library.
