THE BOARD THEN VOTED 6-0 TO ENTER INTO A CLOSED SESSION, WHICH ENDED AROUND 7PM.

AFTERWARDS, THE SCHOOL BOARD ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING IN PART THAT IOWA LAW PROHIBITS THEM FROM DISCLOSING PERSONNEL INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS MATTER; HOWEVER, THE BOARD’S ACTION IS CONSISTENT WITH DISTRICT POLICY.

THERE WILL NOT BE AN INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT NAMED AS DR. CORDOVA IS STILL EMPLOYED BY THE DISTRICT.
