The Mitchell Board of Education has decided to offer Superintendent Joe Childs a new three-year contract, with the final approval coming in April. Board President Brittni Flood praised Childs for his outstanding leadership since stepping in for Joe Graves, who left in 2023. Flood emphasized how important stable leadership is for the district, and with new programs like all-day kindergarten and a new high school building in the works, the board said they’re excited about the future.
