Pretty Prairie USD 311 Board of Education relieved Randy Hendrickson of his Superintendent duties April 12th, 2021. The Board is committed to creating the best possible school system for the Pretty Prairie Community.
The BOE voted to amend the reopen plan at last night's meeting. With the county in green still, the board voted to lift the requirement on temperature checks and masks are not required. If the county and our district experience a rise in positive cases, mitigation steps in the original plan will be revisited accordingly.
