Superintendent Search - Tarkio R-I School District
Deadline - February 5, 2010
Missouri Association of Rural Education is conducting the search for the Tarkio R-I Superintendent vacancy.
The Tarkio R-I School District is housed in two facilities, the PreK-6 and 7-12 programs. Tarkio R-I is not identified on any level of School Improvement. The football stadium and track are just across the street to the west, with an area for community baseball and/or soccer. Many students walk to school, and bus routes serve the outlying rural area, which encompasses most of the central and northeast part of Atchison County. Tarkio R-I school district is noted for The Missouri Preschool Project, Kids’ Korner, serving up to twenty 3- and 4-year olds. The special education program is strong and includes a nicely equipped life skills classroom and one of the only sensory rooms in the area. ITV and MoVIP classes are available to high school students, as well as approximately 40 units of dual credit courses taught by Tarkio teachers. Tarkio R-I earned the “Distinction in Performance” designation for the past four school years. Technology has been a focus with funding for advanced resources, including Smartboards in all classrooms, onsite training, category 6 wiring in the elementary and planned installation for the high school.
