Seems like the division in Neosho politics has extended to the classroom.
On Monday, the Neosho R-5 School board voted 4-3 to extend the contract of Dr. Richard Page for another year. Voting against Page’s renewal was Cheryl Hawkins, Bruce Mahr and 1st-year member Mike Stauffer. Page was in the last year of a three-year contract.
Earlier this month, Neosho received news that the district met all 14 performance standards set forth by DESE. Neosho has already received the “Distinction with Performance” honor three years in a row. Absent something unforeseen, Neosho’s exceptional performance should extend that trend another year.
Dr. Page is starting his 6th year as Neosho’s Supt. He took over after Dr. Mark Mitchell resigned in 2005. Prior to his current position, Page served the district as Asst. Supt. of Business and Finance.
Personally, if you take the name off the resume and look only at the accomplishments, Dr. Page has done what I feel is an exceptional job for the district. Assisted by Dr. Jim Cummins and Mrs. Alma Stipp, the Neosho R-5 has one of the best leadership teams in the area.
Dr. Page has his Masters and Doctorate degrees from the University of Arkansas.
