School is currently IN session!
Local school leaders have been invited to a weather webinar with Paducah at 10 a.m. to look at the expected timing of this afternoon’s event for our area. We will provide an update after that meeting and share out if it is determined the school will be able to stay in session a full day, or if we will need to dismiss early to get our students and staff home safely.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Puxico R-8 School is seeking input on future facility plans. A link is included for a short survey in which we welcome your feedback on the future of the educational environment, specifically Puxico Elementary. You may also contact Puxico Central Office if you would like a paper survey to complete. If you would like to provide an opportunity for a follow up conversation about any ideas or comments you provide, include your name and contact information on the last question of the survey.
For question 1, here is a summary of the options:
-No Tax Increase Bond Issue - use proceeds to completely refurbish existing elementary with NO plans to build a new structure.
-No Tax Increase Bond Issue - use proceeds on a short-term bond issue to make necessary repairs, with plans to replace the elementary with a new structure in 3-5 years with an additional bond issue.
-Bond Issue with a .20 cent increase to current .79 debt service levy- This plan brings our current debt service levy to .99 and uses funds to build a new elementary.
-No Bond Issue on ballot- This option requires repair costs to come from general operating funds, impacting current educational programs/activities.
