Summary
Daycare board members told the Riceville school board a May 5 groundbreaking is planned for a new daycare, with a ribbon-cutting the same day; the board approved related construction updates and a fee increase affecting school/daycare services.
Board members and daycare representatives told the Riceville Community School District board on April 21 that construction and opening steps for a new daycare are moving forward, including a May 5 groundbreaking and a ribbon-cutting scheduled the same day.
Daycare Board members Kelsey Byrnes, Samantha Dohlman and Brooke Watson presented plans that included a Department of Human Services review, a seed grant referenced in the presentation and involvement from Mitchell County Economic Development's Solutions Fund. Superintendent Barb Schwamman also noted the May 5 ribbon-cutting in her report.
The board received building-and-grounds updates on the kitchen and daycare construction and approved an increase in school and daycare fees (motion by Guertin, seconded by McCarthy), which passed 5-0.
The transcript identifies the programs and planning partners but does not list grant dollar amounts or the detailed fee schedule. The board will monitor construction meetings and related regulatory reviews moving forward.
