Liberty-Benton High School

Highly Engaged Employees

Liberty-Benton has expanded the number of College Credit Plus (formerly Dual Enrollment) courses offered, making ours one of the most comprehensive post-secondary programs in the area. The company has also added vocal music programs and expanded options through Millstream. This past summer the company were able to negotiate employment contracts wit... h unions that represent the company's non-teaching staffs. All this was accomplished within a few hours of negotiations and enables the district to continue living within the company's means. My job as superintendent is to make sure the company stay on this path of improvement, which I am committed to do, and to live within the company's budget. The last time the district passed new money for the school district was in 2009. This levy, along with concessions from the unions, allowed the company to weather a difficult financial time. Since then, the company has operated every year with a balanced budget and did not spend more than the company received. Today, the company has a balance of just over $6 million. The Board is considering using some of that money to address inadequate space for learning and safety conditions on the Elementary/Middle School building. I would like to wish all of the company's students and staff the best as the company start back to school. Let's work together to make every day a great day to be a Liberty-Benton Eagle! Hope to see you at a school event soon!Read More
