High school reports: FFA placing, peer tutoring, health pathway opportunities and safety planning
Summary
Principal Willard reported CG FFA took third at the Section 16 Forestry CDE, the school launched peer tutoring and partnered on drug-prevention and Erin’s Law training; Superintendent Weidner discussed regional online threats (none targeting Cerro Gordo), reunification drills and a grant application for teletherapy.
Principal Willard updated the board on several high school initiatives: "CG FFA received 3rd place as a team" at the Section 16 Forestry CDE, a Peer Tutoring Program was established (tutors interviewed and a tutoring lab open during study halls), and the Bronco Workout Program averaged 15–20 students per day. Willard noted partnerships with Piatt County Mental Health for the 'Too Good for Drugs' curriculum and Growing Strong to deliver Erin’s Law and bully-prevention training to students.
Superintendent Dr. Weidner summarized district safety work: monthly Regional Office of Education meetings with school administrators and first responders, practice reunification drills in Monticello and Piatt County, and attendance at a recommended reunification protocol training. He also said he wrote a grant application to the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation for Cartwheel Mental Health teletherapy services and mentioned the district may again pursue an SMPG grant requiring a $50,000 local commitment.
Why it matters: The items describe curriculum and mental-health programming affecting student well-being and outline safety planning that supports emergency response coordination with local agencies.
