The playground in Callaway’s Morgan Park has a new look and a new surface, thanks to the efforts of the Village Economic Development Director Kacee Gillis. The project was the first that Gillis set her sights on when taking the role a year and a half ago.

The School And Your Tax Dollars

It is budget season, which means business managers, administrators, and boards have been putting in extra hours to attempt to figure out how much money they are going to need to be able to operate effectively for the next year. That also means figuring out where that money will come from.
The Callaway Board of Education has been working diligently to come up with a fiscally responsible budget plan for the district for the 2025-2026 year, while at the same time striving to provide the best possible educational opportunity for students. That is no easy task - but a very worthwhile one. (Photo courtesy Callaway Public Schools)
