Mathahs and Helland begin new roles with school board

     The North Iowa Community School District once again has a full school board, with the addition of a new board member and a new board secretary. Former board member Gwen Mathahs, right, was sworn in as the new school board secretary and business manager during last Monday’s board meeting, as she replaces outgoing board secretary and business manager Sara Meinders, who has accepted a new position at Forest City Community Schools. Filling Mathahs’ seat on the school board is John Helland, left, who was previously sworn in on April 21. The board also thanked Meinders during last week’s meeting for her seven years of service to the board.
