Faculty and staff at Pleasant Valley Elementary School in Carthage were told this week the R-9 officials plan to close the school at the end of the current academic year and send students to Steadley Elementary next year.
Multiple R-9 employees confirmed the plan to the Turner Report. The announcement was made to Pleasant Valley staff after school Friday.
Pleasant Valley has the smallest enrollment of Carthage's elementary schools and reportedly Steadley has several empty classrooms.
Full-day preschool classrooms will be added at Steadley and half-day pre-school classrooms at Mark Twain, sources said.
If the plan, which has not yet been approved by the R-9 Board of Education goes into effect, Pleasant Valley Principal Don Cox will become an assistant principal at Carthage Intermediate Center.
District officials reportedly have plans to use the building for a different purpose.
This reminds me of the good old days riding my bike down the street with my transistor radio listening to Mickey Dolenz singing Pleasant Valley Sunday! Does anybody else have any good memories of the Monkees they want to share? And please keep it PG, there may be some younger readers out there. We don’t need any degenerate stories about the swinging 60s or whatever. You can listen to good music OUTSIDE the bedroom once in a while.
ReplyDeleteWhat?? Unlikely that anyone was thinking anything remotely “degenerate” about this article (or your out-of-left field comment) before you brought it up.

DeleteI bet the original poster never understood what the lyrics of the Monkee's She Hangs Out was all about!
You sound like a Michael Nesmith fan. I do like that song “Listen to the Band “. Any other favorites of yours? And please keep to topic, I don’t have that much time to sift through comments today.

Trying to control everyone.
Then telling everyone to not be a degenerate.
They are probably controlled by their religion 🤡 🙏 🤡
There is also thinking they are the comment police and telling people how to comment.
DeleteIt's not the Anonymous Not Degenerate Commenter Report, it's the Turner Report.
It really is degenerate.
Looks like all the wackadoodles decided to meet here and have a discussion.
