EPHRATA — The Ephrata regular school board meeting Monday will begin at 5:30 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. with a presentation with Ephrata School District’s Lego robotics teams.
“The intent is to allow the kids to go early, so they don’t have to sit through the business meeting,” Ephrata School District Communications Director Sarah Morford said.
The agenda includes a resolution for the 2026 bond and the appointment of committees for the bond. There will also be discussions on new hires, two donations, a tourism grant application, adjusting the General Fund and Associated Student Body Fund and a finance update. Superintendent Ken Murray will give a report, and there will be a legislative report from board member Mike Fleurkens.
