The daily operations of the R-VI School District are governed by the Board Policy and district regulations. The school board is the policy making body for the Warrensburg R-VI Schools. Laws enacted by the Missouri General Assembly and regulations of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education also govern district operations. The school board is responsible for the establishment of goals, programs, and procedures that will serve to improve student achievement in the district, within the scope of available resources. The school board fulfills these responsibilities by formulating policy for the district and delegating policy implementation and operational responsibilities to administrators, faculty and staff.

Solving Problems

Issues and concerns may arise as your child progresses through his/her education. Problems should be referred to those closest to and most responsible for the issues. Under most circumstances the classroom teacher is able to address concerns. Problems that require additional intervention should then be presented to the building administrator. If further assistance is needed, concerns may be presented to the proper central office administrator. For more information regarding the school district call or visit the district office at 201 S. Holden Street, (660) 747-7823 or Fax (660) 747-9615.
