No Decision Yet on School Board Director Re-Organization

By Theresa Rose · Tuesday, February 14th, 2023 at 3:16 pm CDT

The Mount Pleasant School Board continues to discuss a possible change to the board director district structure.  There are currently seven members.  The number will remain the same.  However, due to a change in population, the director districts are no longer balanced. The boundary lines could be re-drawn but this is also an opportunity to change-up the representation. The board is showing  interest in creating two director districts represented by two directors for each.  There would then be three at large members.  There is also interest in going all at large members. Supt. John Henriksen will present the issue to the School Improvement Advisory Committee for input.
