(KLZA)-- The Mound City Board of Education approved renewal of High School Principal Jake Shipman and Elementary / Middle School Principal Emily Petersen's two year contracts when they met Tuesday. Salaries will be taken up at a later date.
The Board also approved hiring Tedra Prussman for the ACES Behavioral Interventionist Position for the 2023-24 school year, and the resignation of Abby Wilmes at the end of the current school year.
Superintendent Korey Miles discussed Open Enrollment which he described as gaining traction in the Missouri House and discussed House Bill 715 and Senate Bill 8, both of which could impact local tax dollars which impact funding for public school districts.
Superintendent Miles also discussed the option of moving away from Valedictorian/Salutatorian and into an Honors System in which specific requirement can be met toward Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Cum Laude, allowing more students to be rewarded and recognized for their hard work and involvement in the school district. The Board is expected to vote on the change during their March meeting.
