The Board approved the annual 28E agreements with Iowa Central Community College.
The agreements allow the district to give high school students the opportunity to take college courses through Iowa Central. Superintendent Dr. Stacey Cole said there are no changes in the agreement, but did issue a reminder that the State Department of Education recently changed the rule, and the college courses are now available for students in all high school grades. They were previously only available to juniors and seniors.
