NICKERSON, Kan. — The Nickerson USD 309 School Board will once again address the two vacancies on the board during tonight’s agenda session. The Board has been short two seats since two board members resigned last year.

Since then, several people have applied for the spots for which they are qualified, only to be voted down by the current board. Two of those names are back on the agenda for tonight. They are RJ Wenzel for the vacant Reno Valley seat and Larry Meadows for the South Hutchinson seat.

Also tonight, the board will do their first of the year housekeeping including approval to elect a new board president. Even though the district doesn’t elect a new president until July they still must pass the resolution to do so at the first of the year.

In addition, the board will go over several personnel matters including the resignation of head football coach John Wellman and Head Volleyball coach Julie Bauer along with three elementary school teachers.

Tonight’s USD 309 School Board meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Reno Valley Middle School.
