Take the Community Survey

The Community Survey, available on the Litchfield School District website and on Facebook, will be closing as of midnight on Friday night. The District has been seeking input from people in the school district to help determine the feasibility of going to voters in November with a building referendum or operating levy.

Superintendent Susan Burris says a scientific telephone survey has also been conducted, and information from the two surveys will be shared during the March 9th Litchfield School Board meeting. She says she will also be sharing information during the March 9th meeting about possible reductions as about $350,000-to-$500,000 in cuts will need to be made to the next budget.

Burris says an issue has been discovered with the surface of the tennis courts at Litchfield High School, so the contractor will be resurfacing the courts in June. She says the swimming pool project at Litchfield High School was recently completed and they’ve heard lots of positive comments.

Burris says the Litchfield School Board continues to hear personal stories about families who have been affected by bullying and they will continue to approach the issue of bullying and look for ways to improve. She says bullying has always been around and it’s been magnified with social media.

Burris says she’s hoping the March weather will be cooperative, but there are still 3 e-learning days left in the calendar that they may use. She says Spring Break will be coming up in the Litchfield School District March 30th through April 3rd. She says families are welcome to attend a Read Across America event this evening at Lake Ripley Elementary School from 5-to-7 p.m. which will include all kinds of activities.
