The Kirksville City Council, at their Sept. 18 meeting, approved a scholarship program for city youth that will provide access to programs that for some may be outside the family budget.
The city of Kirksville is looking to implement a parks and recreation scholarship program to provide financial assistance to residents of Kirksville when registering for department programs. The aim, according to a staff report by Parks Director Rodney Sadler, is to increase access to recreational activities, including sports programs, one-day events, fine arts programming, and swimming lessons offered by the Parks and Recreation Department.
