ADRIAN — There are several factors to take into consideration if in-person board of education meetings are to return in the coming weeks to Adrian Public Schools.
That was the general consensus taken away from board members and district personnel Monday when the Adrian Board of Education met in a virtual meeting and looked at the possibility of bringing board meetings back to an in-person format.
Because of the impact brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, public meetings have — for the larger part of the past year — been conducted online in order to avoid gatherings of individuals. Conducting meetings in such a fashion has been OK’d locally by the state of emergency orders, as recently extended through July by the Lenawee County Board of Commissioners.

ADRIAN — Negotiations between Adrian Public Schools Superintendent Bob Behnke and the board of education have resulted in Behnke’s contract being updated to reflect salary increases and merit pay.
Behnke’s updated contract was approved Monday to show salary increases of 2% for the 2021-22 school year.
In the summer of 2020, Behnke’s contract was extended with the district through June 30, 2023, however, he turned down a 1.5% pay raise and only accepted 24% of possible merit pay. Other employees, including teachers, did not receive raises last year, either.
