The Pella School Board held a discussion about the district’s electronic device policy to end Tuesday’s regular meeting. The board heard details about where the current rules stand and what changes they could make following a state law passed this past Legislative Session adding restrictions to device use.

The Pella School Board started the meeting interviewing two search firms related to the superintendent replacement process at the beginning of the session. Grundmeyer Leader Services and McPherson & Jacobson both made proposals to the board. The district is moving forward with Grundmeyer.

Following those interviews, the board entered regular business, which included approval of shade quotes for the Little Dutch Academy, the 2025-26 Leader in Me contract, contract completion for DeVries Electric and Rapids Food Service at the Jefferson-Middle School connector and with Graphite Construction for the stadium project, an agreement with Knoxville for the homeschool assistance program to allow those students to still participate in Pella High School activities, and a contract for the transfer for special education funds to the Area Education Agency.

The board also approved a proposal from the Pella Athletic Booster Club to renovate the high school weight room and share the cost.
