Nov. 2025

It’s been a little while since our last update, and there’s plenty to share! School is in session, activities are in full swing, and projects are moving forward across the district. Keeping up with everything is a true exercise in scheduling, but it’s always a joy to witness the many accomplishments of our students—both in the classroom and on the field.

The Fall season is full of activities for all ages. From the Elementary to High School, our students have been on the go!

The Board of Education met on 10/13/2025 at 7:00 PM in the evening for the October Meeting. Mr. Rumford shared some stats on enrollment this year, with USD 466 having a slight decrease in numbers. He shared that USD 466 has been recognized by the KSDE, and earned Star Awards this year. We have received the Gold for Graduation Rates, a Bronze in Post Secondary Effectiveness, and the Commissioners Award for our district. Mr. Rumford also stated that he would begin seeking input from the community at large for their feedback on the Strategic Plan for USD 466.

The Board accepted a gift, curtsy of Security State Bank of Scott City, for a new Video Board to be installed at the Scott City Event Center.

The Board approved the reconfiguration of bleachers at the Event Center, giving an improved set up for the judge's table and home team seating.

Hiding in Fall: Just peeking out of the Old Oak Tree is a memory that many a Scott City - ite shares.... One of the original renderings of our Bucky Beaver. Do you know where this little beaver still waves hello?

Every month we would like to feature a photo from around USD 466 Schools. If you have a photograph you have snapped that shows off a bit of our beautiful facilities, please feel free to send it to: tscheuerman@usd466.org
