School districts in Missouri have a responsibility not only to the people of the Chillicothe R-II School District but are also accountable to the citizens of our state and must abide by the laws, rules, and regulations established by the General Assembly and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The question of who is responsible for the education of our children generates healthy debate, yet in the final analysis it is the responsibility of all of us to see that our children receive the best education available. Providing the quality of education our children have the right to expect and one that will provide the foundation for every child to be all he or she can be, will necessitate all involved working toward that end.

Members of the family, community, and school officials working together can achieve the goal of providing educational opportunities that will ensure every child develops to their full potential.

The purpose of this publication is to report information about our district to the citizens of the communities we serve. The information provided will analyze various characteristics of our district.
