Propositions N + C- April 2, 2024
Thank You to our Community:
April 3, 2024
Dear North Callaway R-1 School Community:
Thank you to our tremendous community who voted to invest in our students and teachers. Thank you to our Board of Education, whose vision for a single-site elementary and competitive salaries made Props N+C possible. Thank you to the drivers of the Prop N+C Committee: Emily Twillman, Stephanie Fohey, Sara Borcherding, and Mike and Karen Shryock, as well as to every volunteer who helped champion our students and teachers/staff. Thank you to our teachers and principals who gave of their time and talents to help educate our public. Every single effort mattered.
Passing Props N+C puts our district in a great position to offer students a tremendous education by helping us recruit and retain highly qualified teachers and staff. With Proposition N passing, we look forward to opening the single-site K-5 elementary school doors in August 2026. Proposition C will immediately benefit teachers and non-certified employees for more competitive salaries for the 2024-25 school year.
In the weeks to come, we will roll out timelines for the new construction project, proposed changes to the teacher salary schedule, and impacts to wages for our non-certified employees.
-Mrs. Kenya Thompson
