Zumwalt Board Set for Meeting Monday Night

Fort Zumwalt Board of Education will hear first presentation of 2012-13 budget during Monday's meeting.

Before the new school year can start, the Fort Zumwalt Board of Education needs to tackle a few things. The board will meet at 7 p.m. Monday night at the District headquarters in O'Fallon. The meeting will be the first, but not only, meeting for the board this month. Ordinarily the board meets once, the third Monday of each month, but Monday night's agenda calls for the board to vote on having a second meeting. If approved, the board will conduct a special meeting next Monday, June 25.  A potential reason for the two meetings is the issue of a budget. With the 2012-13 school year set to officially begin on the first of July, the board needs to approve a operating budget. Before the budget can be approved, the board must first go over the …

Supple has frequently given budget projections showing that, with a decrease in state funding and property taxes combined with an increase in salaries and other expense, the district would soon be faced with deficit …

Fort Zumwalt Votes to Fund DARE Program

School board approve a proposal to fund the drug-education program for fifth grade students.

DARE education for fifth grade students in the Fort Zumwalt school district will continue after a funding approval granted by the school board.  During Monday's May meeting, the Board agreed to a proposal provided by superintendent Dr. Bernard DuBray to fund officers who help provide the drug-free education to students. O'Fallon police had requested funding help for the officers and, without the money, may not be able to continue the program. Stressing the importance of the program, DuBray said it was vital for the district to fund the officers and keep students educated about the dangers of drugs. The police didn't ask for a specific dollar amount, so DuBray and the district created a formula to find something that would be fair to all …
