Clemens updated the board on the tests that students were taking in each school in Jamestown. She also included some of the problems that students and instructors had in taking the tests.

The board also moved to make some new hires for the next school year including a math teacher at the High School, a 3rd grade teacher at Louis L’Amour Elementary, a Child Care Instructor and a 6th grade ELA teacher at the Middle School.

High School Graduation was pointed out to be on Sunday, May 31st at the Jamestown Civic Center starting at 2:30 PM. Jamestown’s School Prom will also be held this weekend.
