(Le Mars) — Le Mars Community School District will be searching for a new school board member to represent the district’s rural areas. School superintendent, Dr. Steve Webner says the school board was informed of the vacancy for district 5 during the Monday evening meeting.
Many people may wonder why Lang couldn’t serve as an “At-large” director, and still be able to serve on the Le Mars Community Board of Education? Webner says the school district already has two director positions serving as an “At-large” position. He says he checked with the Iowa School Board Association, and learned that adding a third “At-Large” director position would be against the rules.
Webner says Lang would be able to run again as a school board director, but it would need to be within her new residence district, or she can seek election when an “At-large” position term is completed, and becomes available.
During the school board meeting, the directors acted on a number of retirements and resignation requests. One of the announced resignations was with Adam Moss, a popular high school science teacher and track and cross country coach. Webner says Moss will be pursuing a career with the Area Education Agency in which he will consult with several school districts.
Moss has been a teacher with the Le Mars Community School District for 12 years.
