(KNZA)--A St. George firm will assist the Hiawatha school district in developing a facilities master plan.
The USD 415 Board of Education at their March 10 meeting approved a contract with Lighthouse Construction Guidance to provide the service for fee not to exceed $24,000.

The board discussed and agreed that there would be a benefit and need for master planner.
In other business, the board discussed how to proceed with the wrestling program.
Currently, the school district participates in a wresting co-op with Doniphan West but are exploring the possibility of establishing a district level program.

The Board asked Kettler to put out some feelers for coaches as well as gauge the interest in having wrestling at the district level.
Also plans for a summer school program at the elementary school were discussed, utilizing at-risk funds. The program would run from June 2nd-June 25th and cover grades preschool through 2nd grade.
