SCHOOL BOARD
RECOGNITION WEEK
Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women across the state. These public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts. These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri.
During
the week of January 24-30, communities across the state will honor the
dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition
Week, as proclaimed by Governor Jay Nixon.
The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important
function an elected board of education plays in communities and school. All Missouri citizens are asked to recognize
the important contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the
vital role these public officials play in the education of Missouri’s children.
The
students and staff of the Adair County R-II School District extend sincere
appreciation for the dedication of those who serve on the district’s Board of
Education.

State law (Section 160.522, RSMo) requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to publish an annual “report card” about each school district, each school building, and each charter school in the state. The reports are designed to satisfy state and federal requirements for the disclosure of statistics about students, staff, finances, academic achievement, and other indicators. The information is compiled from data reported to the Department by local school districts.
The 2015 district report card is now available at: http://mcds.dese.mo.gov/guidedinquiry/School%20Report%20Card/District%20Report%20Card.aspx. Simply choose School year 2015, District Adair Co. R-II (001-092) and click View Report.
If you would like a copy of this report card, contact the district office at 323-5272.
The best way to remember the 2015-2016 school year is to buy a yearbook! The 68th edition of the BHS yearbook, “Our Roots Run Deep”, is still on sale during the month of January for $20.

The American Red Cross and Adair County R-II School will be sponsoring a blood drive on Wednesday, January 6th from 2:00-6:30 p.m. at the Keller Building.

The Adair County R-II School would like to send a sincere thank you to our sponsors and patrons for their support of our Pink Out basketball games and silent auction held on December 11, 2015.
