(KLZA)-- The Falls City Board of Education approved the retirement resignation of a longtime high school teacher Monday night.
Norma Thompson has taught at Falls City Public School for 37 years, currently serving as High School Mathematics and Computer Science teacher.
Superintendent Tim Heckenlively reported the Sixpence Board of Trustees has approved the District 56, grant allocation in the amount of $465,500 for the 2017-18 grant term. The grant provides $240,500 for the Home-Based Program and $225,500 for the Childcare Partnership Program.
The programs combined offer support services to children from birth to age 3, their parents, and community-based child-care programs.
