PRESS RELEASE
The Superintendent and Board of Education of Brimfield Community Unit School District No. 309 are aware of reports that High School Principal Marcy Steele recently posted a photograph on social media showing an obscene gesture pointed toward the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. District representatives do not condone the obscene gesture shown in the now deleted post and have formally addressed the matter with Principal Steele. To her credit, she has acknowledged that use of this obscene gesture was a mistake as it does not reflect well on herself or the school district generally. She has apologized to the administration and the board as well as the high school student body. The Superintendent and the Board consider her actions in this single instance an exception to Mrs. Steele's many years of commendable service in the District and support her in her efforts to effectively lead the high school into the future.

Dear Brimfield Staff, Parents & Guardians:
During this time of year when inclement weather makes its presence known, we all must adjust and respond to the conditions that are thrown our way by Mother Nature.
As a school administrator, it is my job to make decisions on closing school based on whether or not the temperature and road conditions are safe for traveling to and from school. These decisions are not often easy to make, as closing our schools due to inclement weather is a serious decision that disrupts the lives of kids, staff members, and parents. One of our priorities is to make certain our students are here at school, learning and working towards their academic success.
In past years, there were instances where the cancellation of school was prevented through the use of delayed starts. By utilizing this approach, the weather conditions improved, and our local road crews had extra time to prepare the road for safer travels. I realize that we have a large area that encompasses our district boundaries, and not all roads and streets get treated equally throughout it. Please know that as parent/guardians, it is your prerogative to not send your child if you feel the roads are not safe enough to travel.
When I make a decision to delay or cancel school, I am doing so based on my assessment of the roads, as I wake up on mornings where inclement weather is possible/present, and drive a route that is a good representation of our district. I also consult with our transportation director, and various township road commissioners. We watch weather patterns to try to assess what to expect from those forecasts. With these practices, I am able to more accurately make the decision on school delays or cancellations.
This is just to serve as a reminder that delayed starts will be utilized if the situation is warranted. If a late start is used on a Wednesday School Improvement Day (where we would normally let out at 1:50), we will switch to a regular dismissal time of 3:00 PM. On a day where we have a scheduled 11:30 AM dismissal, I would either utilize a 1-hour delay, or cancel the student attendance day completely and possibly utilize a Remote Learning Day.
Please make sure to prepare yourself for these scenarios in the event we should need to enact these procedures. If you have any questions, please contact the District Office and I will be happy to discuss.
Educationally Yours,
Chad Jones
Superintendent
