West Nodaway R-I School District Approves $800 Stipend for Full-Time Staff

The West Nodaway Board of Education approved an $800 stipend for all full-time employees during a recent meeting. Superintendent Mitch Barnes cited uncertainty in future state funding as the reason for choosing stipends over salary raises. The stipends are not part of the salary schedule, making it easier to roll back raises in the future if necessary due to financial constraints.
