Benton board to seek plan for director district boundaries
The Benton Community School Board voted to request a plan from the Grant Wood Area Education Agency to establish director district boundaries. The board would move from four director districts and one at large to five director districts, with a possible split of Atkins-Newhall into two districts. A petition for a seven member board was ruled premature and not on the agenda.

The Tipton school board approved a technical energy audit of the high school and elementary buildings to locate energy losses. It will cost about 6700 dollars at 6 cents per square foot and may lead to a future federal grant as a prerequisite. A prior grant of 4500 dollars funds energy upgrades at the middle and high schools, with the district providing matching funds.
