Last night, 12/2/25, the Mount Pleasant School Board held a work session at the district office at 6pm. During the work session, Shannon Bisgard of the Grundmeyer Search Firm walked the board through the next steps in the superintendent search. He explained how the firm will narrow the applicant pool and identify candidates for the board to screen.
The board also held a closed session which began 6:07 p.m., citing Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i). That section of the law permits a closed meeting when discussing the professional competence of an individual to prevent irreparable harm to their reputation. The board reported that no action was taken and reopened the meeting to the public at 7:15 p.m.
A School Improvement Advisory meeting is also scheduled for tonight at the High School Media Center starting at 6PM. This meeting is open to the public.
