Muscatine School Board conducts public hearing on 2025-2026 calendar

The Muscatine School Board held its regular meeting on February 10, 2025, focusing primarily on the upcoming school calendar for the 2025-2026 academic year. The meeting began with a roll call confirming a quorum, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a public hearing regarding the school calendar. The board opened the floor for discussion, but no oral or written comments were received from the public. After a brief discussion, the board voted unanimously to close the public hearing.

Additionally, the student board representatives were absent from the meeting, and the board noted they would reconnect with them in the following month. The meeting concluded with an invitation for citizens to speak, although no further details were provided on this segment.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to transparency and community engagement, even in the absence of public input on the school calendar. The next steps will involve finalizing the calendar based on the discussions held during the meeting.
