The Arcola School District School Board just approved paying substitute teachers $125 a day for anyone willing to be a substitute in the district. Applicants must be willing to obtain a substitute teaching license. For more information on the requirements needed for obtaining a license, go to https://roe11.org/licensure/ and look at the substitute qualifications. The Regional Office of Education coordinates substitutes for all districts in their region but once certified, applicants can select the districts where they want to sub. If you have any questions about subbing in the Arcola School District, please contact district superintendent Tom Mulligan at tmulligan@arcolaschools.com.
Unfortunately, due to the times we are in, the family and school think it is best to postpone the Celebration of Life for Coach Bradford that was scheduled to take place on November 6 at the football field. We look forward to celebrating coach in the spring with all of his family and friends around. Future details will be sent out from the family and we will celebrate Coach then. Stay safe and healthy.
We wanted to update everyone on the recent decision by IHSA regarding winter sports seasons. While we are glad to see that IHSA gave schools the go-ahead to proceed with sports, this decision is in conflict with the recommendation of the Governor and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). As a result, the IHSA decision does not mean basketball is a certainty. Since this is a very fluid and evolving situation, the district, along with all other districts, will continue to review guidance from various governing bodies and consult with legal counsel and insurance providers before making a final decision on how the district will proceed. Thanks for your patience and we hope to see our athletes in competition soon!
