NICKERSON, Kan. — The Nickerson school board will take time to discuss the use of buildings and sports facilities for the summer during Monday’s meeting.

Like other school districts in the area, USD 309 is working with the county Health Department to establish guidelines for using buildings for summer camps and classes.

The board is also looking at how soon it can reopen outdoor sporting areas and facilities. The proposal before the board would further suspend the use of those facilities until at least the end of June. The matter would be addressed again at that time.

Also Monday, the board will consider options for dealing with the aging track and the football field at the high school stadium. The board has two proposals for the track to consider.

The board will also seek approval to hold graduation for seniors on July 25 at 11 a.m. in the high school gymnasium. The district is holding open the option of limiting the number of family members a senior can bring to the ceremony, but no decision has been made at this time.

Monday’s meeting of the Nickerson USD 309 School Board begins at 7 p.m. at the district offices at 4501 W. 4th Ave. just west of Fun Valley.
