Railroader Families and Community Supporters,
At a special board meeting last night, the USD 388 school board voted 5-2 to begin participating in 8-person football beginning with the 2024-2025 school year.
Feedback on the issue was acquired via a community survey and conversations with our student athletes, staff, community members, and others. There were many differing opinions about the best course of action for our students.
After considering all of the feedback and after a lengthy conversation during last night’s meeting, the board made the difficult decision to move to 8-person football. This decision was based on many factors.
The feedback received regarding this issue was carefully weighed and is greatly appreciated. We hope you join us in supporting our student athletes and coaches as we move in this direction.
USD 388 Board of Education
At the back to school inservice days, the USD 388 staff went out in the Ellis community to show THEIR support for everything our businesses do for our schools. The staff visited 26 businesses with more to visit at the October inservice. One of our goals this year is to "Build and maintain strong relationships with students, parents, families, the community, and businesses seeking ways to promote and benefit the educational community of Ellis". There were many smiles and a great appreciation for each other! Thank you Ellis!
The BOE will hold a special board meeting on Monday, August 28 @ 6:30pm in the District Office about the football classification. Board members are individually reviewing the data gathered in the survey prior to the meeting as well as enrollment trends and information provided by current JH and HS football players. Thank you to those who completed the survey that closed on Friday. Your input is a valuable piece to making the best decision for the students of Ellis.
