Bloomfield, Missouri - The Bloomfield School Board met on Monday, March 12, 2018. Below are the minutes from Toni Hill, Bloomfield School Superintendent.
A few students from our Jr Beta Club presented as well as our state qualifier for History Day - the students did a fantastic job presenting!
The board approved May 29-June 18, 2018 as our summer school dates.
The board also approved the three insurance plans recommended by the insurance committee for the 2018-19 employee insurance plan options.
The board discussed some upcoming summer facility upgrades. A buzzer entry system for all buildings was discussed and agreed upon that this was a good use of Fund 4 monies. Also discussed was the high school bathroom remodel - as discussed in our facility committee meetings, the bathrooms will be remodeled during the summers using Fund 4 monies. We will begin with the high school bathrooms because it is the one most in need.

The Bloomfield Police Department received a call Sunday evening at approximately 9:45 p.m. concerning a threat of violence towards Bloomfield R-14 School District. The police deputy on duty called me shortly after.
Two Bloomfield Middle School students were placed in juvenile custody as of very early Monday morning for making a terroristic threat and peace disturbance. This threat involved two juveniles so no further information will be released.
The Bloomfield Police Department received information of the threat. The Bloomfield R-14 School District would like to thank the Bloomfield Police Department, as well as the Stoddard county Sheriff's Department and the Stoddard County Juvenile Office for their swift response to this threat of violence. These three agencies performed an excellent job of responding and taking action in response to this threat of violence.
Parents - Please relay to your children and young adults that threats of violence will be taken seriously and handled in the swiftest and most punitive manner possible. An excuse of "just kidding around" or "just joking" is unacceptable considering recent occurrences of school violence. We take the safety and security of our students very seriously and will not tolerate these threats of violence.
Bloomfield R-14 School District makes fostering a safe and secure learning environment a priority for our students, staff, and community. We appreciate the efforts of the Bloomfield Police Department, Stoddard County Sheriff's Department, and the Stoddard County Juvenile Office during this process.
Please feel free to contact my office with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Toni Hill, Superintendent
