Resident asks Maries R-1 board to add middle school cheer stipend; board will consider
Summary
Carrie Kleffner asked the Maries R-1 School Board to add a middle school cheer stipend so middle-school coaches are paid similarly to high-school coaches. The item was discussed both in open session (public comment) and again in closed session.
Resident Carrie Kleffner addressed the Maries R-1 School Board on July 22 asking the district to add a middle school cheer stipend. Kleffner told the board that currently only high-school cheer coaches receive stipends and asked the board to re-evaluate the stipend structure so middle‑school coaches are compensated.
The board thanked Kleffner for the information and said it would give the request consideration. The meeting record also shows the cheer stipend was discussed later in executive session, although the closed-session notes do not provide details about any decision or personnel action.
No formal motion to change stipend policy or to allocate funding for a new stipend was recorded in open session during this meeting.
