The Ely School District has chosen to stay with the lobbying firm that helped bring millions of dollars in funding to local education initiatives. At the same time, the district will spend less on future lobbying services, offering a welcome bit of budget relief.

The Indianola School Board took major steps in its recent meeting, authorizing over $13 million in general obligation bonds and confirming new courses through DMACC. In addition to these key decisions, members discussed updates from the curriculum, signaling ongoing progress for students in the district.
