 Swedeborg request to postpone half of its tuition payments tabled by Richland
A request by the Swedeborg R-III School Board to postpone half of its tuition payments for its students attending Richland High School was tabled Tuesday night by the Richland R-IV School Board until next month's meeting. Key concerns by some Richland board members include that agreeing to the request now might affect the upcoming April vote in Swedeborg to significantly raise the tax levy to restore the Swedeborg school to financial stability.

Swedeborg plans $10,000 payment tonight on Richland tuition bill
PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. (Jan. 19, 2010) — When the Richland R-IV School Board meets tonight, it will be offered a $10,000 payment on more than $26,000 owed by the Swedeborg R-III School District in tuition. Swedeborg District Administrator Joe Dunlop strongly recommended at Monday night’s Swedeborg school board meeting that his district make the payment to show a good-faith attempt to pay its bills since the Richland board will vote tonight on whether to grant a tuition payment deferral to the cash-strapped Swedeborg district. One option, Dunlop said, is to cash in a $12,000 certificate of deposit to pay the bills due to Richland. “We have one remaining CD in the bank. I’ve guarded it like a mother hen but I think it’s time,” Dunlop said. “They aren’t expecting us to make it all up but they are expecting us to make some type of payment … When I talked to (Richland Superintendent Joe) Ridgeway, I asked how he would assess the situation, and he said Richland doesn’t even have any CDs right now.” Click here to read more on Pulaski County Daily News ...By Darrell Todd Maurina |
