The decision came Monday night and is a rejection of the superintendent's recommendation. Author: Matthew Judy Updated: 10:05 PM CST January 26, 2021 URBANDALE, Iowa — Monday night, the Urbandale School Board faced a decision many school boards are faced with these days. They opted for a less popular option and that certainly has not been unanimously supported. For the time being, Urbandale students will not be returning to the classroom full-time after the Urbandale School Board voted 4-3 to remain in its hybrid model. "Central office administration believes it's time to get kids back in the classroom," Superintendent Steve Bass said during Monday night's board meeting.
