MONROE - An upcoming out-of-state track and field meet request was riddled with issues for school board treasurer Brian Keith at a meeting Monday. The rest of the school board approved the request for Monroe High School athlete Jordan Hirsbrunner to participate in the Kansas Relays on April 21 in Lawrence, Kansas, with her mother, District Administrator Cory Hirsbrunner, as the only district employee accompanying her. Keith objected to the fact that a coach would not be attending the meet, saying the district would do so for every other sport and that a coach should be there to help a competing athlete.
