During a special meeting Monday, the Southern Wells Community Schools board held a hearing for a new superintendent contact. 

The board will consider approval of the contract during their next meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 18.

No one was present for the hearing and no comments were given by the school board at that time. All members — Kevin Scott, Chad Roush, Todd Fiechter and Aaron Westfall — were in attendance. Interim Superintendant Steve Darnall was also present.
