Raider Nation – We could use your help. Early this morning at 2:25 AM, 3 males broke into MCHS. They were in the building pilfering items in classrooms and can be seen here with backpacks they stole holding school and employee belongings. One of the backpacks belonged to a contractor doing work at the school. These individuals came through and exited the northeast corner of our back parking lot near Southmoor Ave on foot. They walked throughout the building till around 3:40 AM. They were seen leaving the back lot at 3:41 AM. We’re confident someone in the community knows who these individuals are and can help us solve this crime. If you have any information, please call the district office at 309.968.6868. You may remain anonymous.

Today was the last day of cross country camp. Hill day is probably the roughest day they had. Proud of the effort you all put in the last 2 weeks. Keep up the good work. Topped it off with our stop at Casey’s.
First day of cross country camp is in the books. We had 13 5th-8th grade runners and 1 HS runner attend. Discussion and training today centered around proper form and other aspects of the sport. It is still not too late to join in. We will be back at it at 7:00 tomorrow morning at the HS.

Hello Raiders,
I'm sending this out to help clear up some misconceptions from people that have contacted me or the district. We fingerprint background check all employees and contractors upon hire with the FBI and State police. We also conduct a check of the sex offender and violent offender website. We are also required by law to recheck the sex offender and violent offender website every 5 years. Additionally, once fingerprinted the state police is required to update the employer upon any new offences. That is to say if any employee or contractor that has been background checked for our district should commit any new offense breaking the law we receive a fingerprint update at that time. In essence all employees or contractors are under constant surveillance for criminal activity.
The second concern was our timing of our custodial job posting. Summertime is our busiest time of the year for cleaning and maintenance. We strip and wax all classrooms, hallways and common spaces. We refinish the gym floors each summer. We do deep cleaning, paint touch up, change all HVAC filters, clean all our buses and a variety of other items that is quite extensive. Manpower is of utmost importance and we often hire additional people to help out. Our maintenance and custodial employees work tirelessly from 6:00 AM-2:00 PM daily. We have an amazing group of people that make our schools look great for the students and staff. Thus, getting someone to replace our missing employee is of utmost importance.
We always welcome your questions and concerns, and I appreciate those that have reached out to the district.
Sincerely,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
