REEDS SPRING R-IV approves new school leadership roles, compliance plan and student-built house listing
Loading...
Summary
The board approved new assistant-principal and coordinator positions, a local compliance plan aligned to federal and state statutes, middle- and high-school athletic programs, and the Table Rock Career Center announced completion of a student-built house that will be listed for sale.
A staff member for REEDS SPRING R-IV said the board approved several personnel and program actions aimed at strengthening supports for students and expanding real-world learning opportunities.
The board approved creating an assistant principal position at the intermediate school and will post a full-time elementary principal position to replace Tanya Baker, who is returning to the classroom. The staff member said those hires are intended to protect instructional time and provide additional administrative support where behavioral issues have increased.
The board also approved an alternative-school teacher-leader (coordinator) role to work with Garrett Noonan and the administrative team to design the AltSchool program. The staff member said that position will be posted before the winter break to align with the AltSchool development timeline.
On programming and compliance, the staff member said the board approved middle- and high-school athletic activities programs and adopted a local compliance plan "aligned to federal and state statutes" that describes how the district serves students with disabilities.
For career-technical education, Table Rock Career Center students finished a house at 117 Rainbow Lane; the staff member said the district will list the house for sale so students can begin a new construction project. The staff member also previewed the Wolfpack Foundation’s "Night in the Arts" fundraiser on April 19, noting student artwork, a Springfield Symphony performance and that the foundation has raised funds to give $5,000 to each of 14 participating districts; ticket prices start at $60 and sponsorships are available up to $75,000.
The staff member said additional messaging and videos about the AltSchool will be released after the break.
