Join us for an important conversation about the future of rural public schools.

📅 Thursday, April 30
⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 Gary Dickinson Performing Arts Center – Chillicothe

This community town hall will focus on how public schools are funded, current challenges, and how recent legislation may impact our local schools.

Keynote speaker Duane Martin will provide insight into education policy, followed by a short presentation and a Q&A panel with area superintendents.

Topics will include:
• School funding and state support
• Legislative changes impacting education
• The future of rural schools and communities

This is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.

Open to all residents of Mercer, Grundy, and Livingston counties.

We hope to see you there.

We are excited announce that the Southwest Livingston County R1 School cafeteria staff has achieved the prestigious "Shooting Star" designation for the second year in a row! This honor is awarded to establishments that score a perfect 100% on their Food Establishment Sanitation Inspection, demonstrating an exceptional commitment to food safety protocols. The dedicated team is led by Julie Larson, who has extensive experience in food service including 7 years at Southwest, 9 years at Head Start and five years at Chillicothe R-II. Paige Dawkins makes up the other half of the team that consistently goes above and beyond. Their hard work ensures that students receive meals prepared in the safest and cleanest environment possible. The "Shooting Star" designation, which began in 2022, recognizes those who not only meet but exceed the high standards set for food safety. It serves as an inspiration for others to strive for the same level of excellence. Way to go Wildcats! Pictured Bill Moffatt, Environmental Public Health Specialist, Julie Larson and Paige Dawkin🐾💙
