(KLZA)-- The Falls City Board of Education accepted the resignation of Special Education Teacher Pam Joy when they met Monday evening. She had been with District 56 for six years.
The Board accepted the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations, Communities for Kids Contract grant in an amount of $78,500. Falls City is one of twelve communities to receive a contract for child care capacity building.
The funds are intended to help increase high quality licensed child care availability in communities where there aren't enough spots for the children who need them. Current child care providers in Falls City will be included in the program.
The annual transportation report was presented by Transportation Director Tyler Bek. The eight rural bus routes traveled 89,739 miles during the previous school year, down from nearly 95,000 miles in 2020-2021. The average number of students transferred each day was 317 to and from school.
Falls City Public School students were transported to 353 school activities covering just over 47,000 miles.
