North Harrison to Add Additional Pre-K Classroom

The North Harrison Board of Education met Wednesday, January 18th in the school library.

The 2023-24 school calendar was approved with a start date for students of Monday, August 21, 2023 and the final day will be Friday, May 10, 2024.

The board approved a bid from American Digital Security to install an access management system with door contacts on all exterior doors and card readers at main entrances, as well as multi-head cameras at student entrances. Summer 2023 installation is planned.

Kindergarten through twelfth grade Counselor, Kara Smith, presented information on North Harrison’s testing schedule, data, and procedures.

Early Childhood Center Director, Gena Gilpatrick, and Elementary Principal, Susan Allen, presented a forecast of student numbers in the three and four-year old pre-school classrooms, as well as those listed for infant and toddler care in upcoming years. Following consideration of 3- and 4-year old pre-enrollment in the fall of 2023 it was decided to add an additional Pre-K classroom. 

Three patrons, Matt Graham, John Lueken, and Joe Bond, registered as candidates for the school board. With three candidates for the three, three-year positions, balloting will not be necessary. 

Katelyn Briggs was selected as North Harrison’s candidate for the Missouri United School Insurance Council Scholarship.

The next meeting of the North Harrison Board of Education will be Wednesday, February 15 at 7 pm in the school library.
