The Jefferson R-7 School District recently joined fellow Jefferson County superintendents in a KJFF Newsmakers discussion focused on the potential impact of state funding cuts on our local schools.

As a district, we remain committed to advocating for the resources our students and staff need to continue providing a high-quality education. Conversations like this highlight the importance of understanding how funding decisions at the state level directly affect classrooms here in Jefferson County. The conversation includes perspectives from district leaders representing Jefferson R-7, Windsor, Crystal City, Hillsboro, and Festus schools.

We encourage our families and community members to listen to this important discussion and stay informed on issues that impact public education.

Today we proudly celebrate School Nurse Appreciation Day!

Our school nurses are so much more than caregivers—they are trusted advocates, problem-solvers, and a comforting presence for students every single day. From tending to injuries and managing chronic conditions to supporting mental health and promoting wellness, their impact reaches far beyond the health office.

Thank you for your compassion, expertise, and dedication to keeping our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn. Our schools are stronger because of you!
