The Perry School Board convened Monday evening in regular session.

The meeting began with a report from Superintendent Clark Wicks and Board Vice President Linda Andorf on the 2020 Day on the Hill with the Iowa Legislature. Wicks will also give an update on the facilities project. In general business, the Board approved an out-of-state trip request for the Middle School Music Department for an educational visit to Minneapolis this May. Following that, they approved the transfer of $10,000 from the General Fund to the Student Activity Fund for protective and safety sports equipment.
