    Parent Communication

    The Hillsboro R-III School District would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your patience and consideration as we work through the issues that have been circulating in the

    news media. The Hillsboro Board of Education has appreciated hearing the various perspectives

    from community members. Our district regrets that it was unable, due to various circumstances,

    to communicate with you about these matters, but we sincerely hope that you understand that we

    are working collectively with various groups to reach not only consensus, but achieve positive

    outcomes.

    Our district has policies in place regarding prohibition against discrimination, retaliation, and

    harassment of any individual associated with our schools and we pride ourselves on inclusion

    of all individuals. We also work to provide a safe and effective learning environment where

    all individuals are welcome and have an equal opportunity to access our curriculum.

    We also understand that there are times when individuals might feel uncomfortable in any given

    situation and our district will work to offer alternatives to alleviate feelings of discomfort. To this

    end, our district will be updating signage in our High School facility that will clearly mark

    restrooms that will be gender inclusive for all students to access. We will also be updating

    signage in restrooms that will offer alternatives for students that wish not to use a gender

    inclusive restroom. It is our hope that by offering alternative restrooms with multiple

    designations in our high school facility, all students will have options that will assist with any

    feelings of discomfort.

    The Hillsboro R-III Board of Education will being working with the Missouri School Boards

    Association and Education Plus (formerly Cooperating School District) to draft a policy that will

    work toward resolution of this matter.

    Respectfully;

    Dr. Aaron D. Cornman Superintendent of Schools
