Northeast Nodaway is considering putting in new security doors at the school. Currently, Worth County, North Nodaway, and North Harrison have security doors, but NEN has not put any in.
At Thursday’s regular Board of Education Meeting, the board voted to have a double door installed in the doorway that leads from the high school/elementary hallway to the cafeteria. The board awarded the bid to Maryville Glass & Lock by a 6-0-1 vote with board member Victor West abstaining. The total cost will be $3,485.
Superintendent Ken Grove discussed the possibility of locking all the doors into the school and using a security system to let visitors in and out of the building.
Three teachers will be leaving the school following the end of the current school year. The board voted to accept the resignations of Michael Trautz, Linda Primm, and Ashley Merrigan.
The board voted to offer a contract to Marcy Sobotka for the 2018-2019 school year. The board also voted to rehire principals Jason McDowell and Bryan Grow. The vote to rehire Grow was 6-0-1, with board member Kenny Runde abstaining.
The board voted to offer contracts for the 2018-2019 school year to Drew Bruner, Taylor Blevins, Dan Autry, Jennifer Boulting, Lori Stoll, Amanda Ojeda, Katlyn Meiners (not to be confused with the North Nodaway softball coach), Mandy Adwell, and Jennifer Ware. Board member Jeff Redden abstained on the vote on Boulting.
The board voted to tenure Abbie (Stiens) Groomer.
Tenured teachers who were offered contracts include Barbara Bredlow, Carrie Coulter, Denise Henggeler, Vance Proffitt, Philip Doty, Kila Henry, Katie Jenkins, Jared Freemyer, and Heidi Beatty.
Teachers at Northeast Nodaway will see higher pay for the next school year. The board voted to allow all new teachers to bring in all prior full-time experience from accredited K-12 school districts for salary schedule purposes and to adjust current teachers’ salaries who were hired with the old rule.
The board voted to increase the base salary of the salary schedule by $500, increased the Master’s step by an additional $500, and continue the Bluejay Dedicated Teacher Program.
The board awarded the lawn service bid for the 2018 season to Wiederholt Lawn Care.
Enrollment for the school is currently at 202. There are 102 students enrolled at the high school and 100 in the elementary. There are 16 students currently enrolled in the preschool.
Carrie Coulter of the Northeast Nodaway PTO reported that the annual rummage sale brought in around $1,350.
The school marked Missouri Read-In Day on March 6th, and junior high and high school students came and read to the elementary students.
