What Land will the School District Acquire Next?: Today in Iowa City

See what the school board will be discussing tonight.


Hello Iowa City,

It's time for another school board meeting tonight. It will likely lack the fireworks of previous board meetings where the fate of the school district was debated, but there are some interesting things to check out.

Here's the schedule:

Board Meeting - 6:00pm  (Agenda)

Closed Session: Land Acquisition - 5:15pm 

Closed Session: Parent Meeting - 5:00pm

Closed Session: Supt. Contract - Immediately Following Board Meeting

Now Superintendent Steve Murley's contract has been under discussion for awhile, so that may or may not be resolved at this meeting. The interesting item from this list for me is the land acquisition item, which could be related to the land for another building the school district plans to eventually build as part of its recently approved facilities master plan.

The board met in a similar closed session in July to vote to acquire land on the south side of Iowa City that could be the home to a future elementary school.
