The Trenton R-9 School Board of Education announced at its meeting that the school district will hold a Comprehensive School Improvement Plan meeting later this month.

The CSIP meeting will be in the Trenton High School Commons January 18.

Survey data will be reviewed and strategies to achieve the five Trenton R-9 Board of Education goals will be developed.

The board will hear a full CSIP presentation this spring.

The board also approved three grants by teachers.

Lily Pyrtle is applying for a Walmart Grant of $750 and a GEC Community Foundation Grant of $400 in order to purchase supplies to develop a Makerspace program for students to use at the Rissler Elementary School Library.

The Makerspace would allow students to solve problems and create new things.

Carla Williams is applying for a GEC Community Foundation Grant of $198 to purchase a stationary tricycle for preschoolers.

The stationary tricycle would be a tool to enhance the curriculum and would let students expel extra energy in the classroom.

The board received a letter from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education that classified the Trenton R-9 School District as accredited under the fifth year of the Missouri School Improvement Program.

The board approved the Grundy County Jewett Norris Library Frank Drake Fund interest earned of $1767. Trenton R-9 is a steward of the library fund.
