The Clarinda Community School District will continue collaborating with the Stanton School District in several key operational areas in the upcoming school year.
During its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon, the Clarinda School Board unanimously approved a shared special programs/education director agreement with Stanton for the 2025-26 school year. Under the agreement, Stanton will reimburse Clarinda $20,000 toward the director’s salary. Travel costs related to duties performed between the two districts will be shared equally.
Clarinda Superintendent Jeff Privia explained that the director will be primarily based in Clarinda.
The board also approved continuation of sharing agreements with Stanton for both the transportation director and maintenance director positions, solidifying ongoing collaboration between the two districts in operational leadership.
Additionally, the board set student fees for the upcoming school year. No increases were made, with fees remaining at $35 for pre-K through 6th grade students, and $55 for students in grades 7-12.
