Dallas Center-Grimes Comm School District board approves employee contracts for 2026–27

The Dallas Center-Grimes Comm School District board approved two sets of employee contracts for the 2026–27 school year during its meeting.

Later, Committee member Momberg moved to approve contracts for classified and administrative employees and Committee member Vella seconded; the motion again passed by voice vote with the chair stating, "Motion carries."
