The 2015 Illinois School Report Card has been released today and can be found on the Illinois Interactive Report Card website.  The link to this site can be found on the bottom right of our district website.  Although there is much information shown, PARCC testing results have not been included at this time. 

The City Sewer Line Project should be finished next week with Cross & Elm back open soon.  The punch list is in progress which includes removing the mud from the parking areas, adding more rock and smoothing out Elm St.

The three district administrators and three teacher representatives have completed training on Teacher Evaluation Growth Modules.  Our PERA Joint Committee is now meeting to work out the student growth component of our teacher evaluation.

We discovered the cabling company installing fiber optic cabling throughout town bore through the sewer line coming out the Pritchett Building which caused the back up during the homecoming football game.  The line has been fixed.  Clean up and repair will be covered by the cable company.
