A joint opening session for the staff at Mid-Prairie and Keota Schools is next Monday. The two schools this year have agreed on a sharing agreement for Superintendent Mark Schneider for the second straight year.  Schneider says the session is a positive way to start the new year as they will introduce new staff, honor those who have served the district for multiple years, a key note speaker will give a presentation followed by lunch that will conclude the session.  The opening session for the staff at Mid-Prairie and Keota Schools is next Monday at 8am at the Wellman Parkside activities center.
