Sullivan Unit District #300 met Tuesday, October 11 accepting the district audit and a handbook for volunteers.

Superintendent Brad Tuttle explained the expanded use of volunteers has led to the development of a volunteer handbook as a general guide toward how and what is acceptable while volunteering within the school.

Tuttle noted the district is appreciative of the volunteers and hopes the handbook will provide a guideline.

In principal Dan Allen’s report he explained the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is in operation at Sullivan Elementary School. Most classrooms have reading volunteers whole listen to students read once a week. Other RSVP members are pen pals with primary age students.

He went on to note RSVP along with homework hangout for students needing extra help, as well as student mentoring programs have all built on the school’s improvement plan.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
