Civil Municipal - June 2024

Looking beyond maintaining current standards, Mundorf is keen to broaden the opportunities available to students. “We want to continue to have a watchful eye on expanding opportunities for kids,” he notes, mentioning the introduction of programs like Army ROTC and Destination Imagination as steps towards enriching the district’s offerings. This focus on growth aims to continually evolve the educational landscape to foster new learning experiences and challenge students. Fiscal responsibility remains a cornerstone of the district’s strategy, especially in light of ambitious capital improvements and program expansions. “Always, we want to have a watchful eye on fiscally managing the many resources we have for our taxpayers,” Mundorf explains. This includes diligent oversight of budgeting processes, ensuring that funds are allocated effectively to sustain current successes and future growth. Through these strategic priorities, Kearney Public Schools is set to continue its trajectory of excellence, adapting to the ever-changing educational demands while ensuring the best outcomes for students and the community. The careful balancing of academic innovation, resource management, and staff development positions the district to successfully navigate the challenges of the coming years, reinforcing its commitment to excellence and growth.
