Post Rock Extension losing a position after federal funding cut, director says
Summary
Post Rock Extension Director Nora Rhoades reported federal funding reductions forced loss of a staff position and said the district will hold strategic planning and an RNR hearing to respond.
Nora Rhoades, Post Rock Extension Director, told the Jewell County Commissioners on July 28 that the Post Rock District "just completed the last of five fairs" and that federal funding reductions "have caused a position to be lost." She said the fair board meets that evening to debrief and that the office will conduct strategic planning and an RNR hearing to determine next steps.
Rhoades’ remarks were presented as an informational update; the board did not vote on funding or staffing changes at the meeting. The discussion flagged the need for local planning to address service impacts from lower federal support.
