The USD 446 Board of Education will begin searching for a new head girls basketball coach, as well as an assistant girls basketball coach for Independence Middle School.

 

Former head coach Ronald Rice and assistant coach Amanda Hightower announced their resignation from the role.

 

It was also announced that the March meeting would be postponed a week due to the spring break for the district. Board member Charles Barker Sr. made the official motion to delay the meeting, which the board ruled in favor of.

 

Additional items of discussion at the USD 446 school board meeting were the addition of seven additional staff members to the Kids Crew program, the approval of the 2023-2024 district calendar, and beginning the search process of a new principal at Eisenhower Elementary.

 

The next USD 446 meeting will be Monday March 20th at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of Independence High School.
