Liberty schools are fiscally stable

LIBERTY — Liberty School District has come a long way since three years ago, but it still has obstacles to getting out of fiscal emergency.

Three years ago, the district had a large deficit and was answering to rumors that it would shut down, said David Malone, school board president.

“And to turn it around in that short period of time ... that’s outstanding,” he said.

The district has been making cuts and paying off debt.
