News from the School Board NICS School Board met on Thursday evening, May 14, following the parent meeting. Jason Miner will be staying on as Dean for next year, for which the board is grateful. We appreciate the spiritual leadership he has given the school this past year. The Christian School International site team did recommend NICS for accreditation for grades K-12. We will be officially approved in July. The process is, however, ongoing. We will need to make an improvement plan based on our self-study and the team’s recommendations. Our progress towards our goals will be reported every year in April, with all recommendations addressed within five years. The board has decided to separate the kindergarten class from the 1 st and 2nd grades. We are now looking for a part time teacher for the kindergarten, as well as a full time teacher for the 7-12th grades. Applications are being accepted. We, also, need a coach for Cross Country. If you know of any runners… We reviewed the results from the Iowa Assessments tests. The new policy concerning high school classes was sent out for parents to review. The next school board meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 15, at 6:00 pm. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” May 23 BandFest Parade Proverbs 22:6 Dear NICS Staff and Families, Thank you so much for the wonderful farewell for my retirement.
