Mid-Prairie hires At-Risk advocate

The Mid-Prairie Board of Education Monday hired Kelly Swift as the district’s At-Risk Advocate at a salary of $22,910.69 for the rest of the current year. She will start her duties December 17.
The meeting was a work session in which Principal Gerry Beeler and Terra Huber reviewed the Iowa Core Curriculum, a system to assure that essential subject matter is taught students. By December 17, every M-P teacher will be expected to give their building principal a one month printed curriculum map. The maps will be evaluated December 18 and 19.
There also was about a half-hour closed session for the superintendent’s evaluation.
