(WAYNESVILLE)--WAYNESVILLE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS HAVE APPROVED A NEW PROGRAM THAT IS BEING CALLED "SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS." GOALS OF THE PROGRAM WILL BE TO SUPPORT STUDENT ACADEMICS AND BEHAVIOR IMPROVEMENT AND TO COMPENSATE TEACHERS FOR WORK BEYOND THE SCHOOL DAY THAT SUPPORTS STUDENT SUCCESS.
SCHOOL OFFICIALS SAY THE PROGRAM IS BEING IMPLEMENTED AS THE RESULT OF A RECENT DECISION BY THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE TO ELIMINATE 100 PERCENT OF THE STATE FUNDING FOR THE CAREER LADDER PROGRAM. THE WAYNESVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL CONTRIBUTE APPROXIMATELY 500-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FUND THE NEW "SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS" PROGRAM THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR. THIS EQUALS THE AMOUNT OF THE ANNUAL LOCAL SUPPORT GIVEN TO THE FORMER CAREER LADDER PROGRAM.
