Winfield R-IV School District Welcomes Ericka Dixon as New Superintendent!

The Winfield R-IV School District is proud to announce that Ericka Dixon has been named the Superintendent of Schools for the 2026-2027 school year.

For Ericka, this opportunity represents a lifetime of dedication, service, and commitment to the Winfield Warrior community. She is not only a longtime educator and leader within our district, but also a proud Winfield Warrior graduate from the Class of 1997. As she begins her 26th year serving Winfield, her journey reflects a deep connection to the students, families, and traditions that make this district special. Her story is one of growing alongside the district she has always called home.

Even before beginning her professional career, Ericka was already finding ways to serve Winfield. During her college years, she returned to support the district through summer custodial work, continuing the same spirit of dedication and service that has defined her career.

Ericka’s leadership and commitment have impacted countless students, staff members, and families throughout her years at Winfield. She spent 9 years as a Special Education teacher at Winfield High School, followed by 14 years serving as our Winfield Primary Principal and Federal Programs Supervisor. Most recently, Ericka completed her first year as Assistant Superintendent, gaining valuable district-wide leadership experience and preparing for this next step.

Beyond her professional roles, Ericka has always been a champion for the Winfield community. She has been actively involved in organizations and events such as Community Partners of Eastern Lincoln County, PTO, Warrior Boosters, and many other community efforts. Her commitment extends far beyond the walls of our schools; she truly represents what it means to be a Warrior.

As our district transitions following the departure of our previous superintendent, who is moving closer to family, we recognize that this change comes at a challenging time for school districts across the state. Finding the right leader is never an easy task, but Winfield R-IV is incredibly fortunate to have a leader already invested in our students, staff, families, and community.

Ericka Dixon brings with her a deep understanding of our district, a passion for education, Warrior Pride, enthusiasm, and a strong appreciation for the traditions that make Winfield special. She is proud to serve the community that shaped her, and she and her family have chosen to build their lives right here among Warrior families.

Please join us in welcoming our 2026-2027 Winfield R-IV Superintendent, Ericka Dixon. We are grateful for her willingness to step forward, continue our tradition of excellence, and lead our district into the future.

Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior.

This would really help our district for this coming year! It’s really hard to do anything with a limited budget!

Warrior Community, We Need Your Help Understanding Proposition C.A.R.E.

As we look toward the future of Winfield R-IV, the Board of Education has voted to place Proposition C.A.R.E. (Community Action Reinvesting in Education) on the August 4, 2026 ballot.

First and most importantly:

✅ This is a ZERO-TAX-RATE-INCREASE proposal.
✅ Your total tax rate will remain exactly the same.
✅ No new taxes. No tax increase.

So what is Proposition C.A.R.E.?

Think of our school finances as having two separate buckets:

📚 Operating Fund – Pays for the day-to-day needs of our schools, including teacher and staff salaries, classroom materials, technology, utilities, and routine maintenance.

🏫 Debt Service Fund – Pays for voter-approved construction bonds and major facility projects.

Thanks to responsible financial management and paying down debt ahead of schedule, our district is in a position to reduce the amount needed in the Debt Service Fund. At the same time, rising costs for educational programs, utilities, supplies, and competitive salaries have placed increasing pressure on our Operating Fund, which is currently at Missouri’s minimum allowable rate.

Proposition C.A.R.E. simply transfers $.25 from one fund to the other:

➡️ Operating Fund: $2.75 → $3.00
⬅️ Debt Service Fund: $1.5755 → $1.3255

Total Tax Rate: $4.3255 (No Change)

If approved, this transfer will allow Winfield R-IV to reinvest in what matters most:

✔️ Recruiting and retaining outstanding teachers and staff
✔️ Supporting student learning and classroom resources
✔️ Maintaining safe, secure, and effective learning environments
✔️ Meeting rising operational costs without increasing the overall tax rate

Over the coming weeks, we'll continue sharing information and answering questions so every voter can make an informed decision before Election Day on August 4, 2026.

Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and schools. Together, we remain committed to building a stronger future for every Winfield Warrior.
