Education

Marion County Knight Academy held its “Shine Bright” K-PREP Talent Show Tuesday, May 15. In addition to a variety of student performances, during the event students were recognized for scoring proficient or distinguished on last year’s K-PREP assessment. This year’s K-PREP testing began March 16.

When the recallable nickel campaign was in full swing in 2016, the two school facilities that were discussed over and over and over again as the top two schools in the greatest need of repair were Calvary Elementary and Lebanon Elementary.

At that time, Superintendent Taylora Schlosser said herself that if the nickel passed, she was fully prepared to make her recommendations to the board of education on how that money should be spent. She said the first priority would be building a new Calvary Elementary School.
