Email Communication to Illinois General Assembly
Dear Insert Senator or Representative Name Here:
This past year has been a challenging time for communities throughout the entire state of Illinois. Thank
you for your leadership during the pandemic in terms of the guidance and resources used to support the
work our schools do at a local level. There is no doubt that you personally have taken on several
challenges in your role, and like local school leaders, many of these challenges had no clear winning
outcomes. We hope to continue to have your support during this upcoming school year to ensure the
safety of our students and communities while providing a high-quality educational experience.
The purpose of this letter is to request local control in the implementation of COVID-19 safety measures
and protocols utilized within each school district. We believe that local boards of education and
superintendents are best positioned and capable of planning reasonable and safe approaches to educate the
students of our communities. The past 16 months have provided our local leaders with ample experience
and knowledge to lead locally with your support.
We write to you to ask for your support in local district implementation. The guidance provided must not
be a one-size-fits-all solution. Illinois is a large, diverse state filled with diverse school districts that
educate students with unique needs and different barriers to learning. A plan that may be sensible and
effective in one school district may not be sensible and effective in other districts. With your support, we
can make the upcoming school year a memorable one that will help get education back-on-track by
recovering learning loss, providing social-emotional support, and keeping our communities safe.
Please consider allowing local control of school districts in terms of COVID-19 safety measures.
Sincerely,
Insert Your Name Here.

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our school family members. Mrs Debbie Heern, worked in our kitchen for over 25 years and drove a bus for our district for 10 years. She will be greatly missed, and our small school will not be the same without her. She has went through many trials in life, yet always had a smile on her face. She was willing to help anyone that needed it, especially the many students that she served in our school. She donated much of her free time in helping fundraise for St Judes. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family during this time. Debbie will always be a Thompsonville Tiger, and we know she will be watching down on us.
