Yesterday, Clay County spoke loudly in support of our schools and our kids.
Voters approved the school bond with an 85% YES VOTE. Out of 14 school bond elections across Kansas last night, Clay County had the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF YES VOTES — a powerful statement about how much this community believes in its schools and its kids.
"THANK YOU to the voters of Clay County for the strong support shown in yesterday’s bond election. We are grateful to live in a community that values its schools and supports safe, high-quality learning environments for our students. With the community’s support, we look forward to moving ahead with improvements that will strengthen safety and provide quality spaces for students and staff for years to come."
- USD 379 Superintendent Brett Nelson

We are lucky to have one of the best at USD 379 in August Clark! She is the steady presence behind every meeting, the keeper of process, history, and compliance, and often the quiet bridge between boards, superintendents, staff, and communities. August manages details most never see, navigates tough moments with professionalism, and does it all with care, patience, and integrity.
THANK YOU, August, for all you do! #celebrate379
