𝐖𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓.

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation changed forever.

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 lives were taken in acts of unimaginable evil. Among them were firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, and other first responders who answered the call knowing the danger ahead - and ran toward it anyway.

Today, the Stanford Police Department remembers every innocent life lost, every first responder who made the ultimate sacrifice, and all those who have carried the physical and emotional scars of that day in the 25 years since.

May we also remember what followed - a nation united by grief, resilience, patriotism, and an overwhelming willingness to help one another.

Parents -
This is Superintendent Laura O’Donnell. We are getting reports of downed trees and power lines throughout the district as a result of the storm. We have no way of knowing exactly where roads are impassible. If you live on or near a road that is impassable, please call our transportation department as soon as possible at (309) 379-6011 or (309) 379 -1110. If your child is a bus rider and we cannot get to your home, we will call and make alternate arrangements for pick up.

The National Weather Service has confirmed that the damage in and around the Village of Stanford from Friday night was caused by an EF-1 tornado. This confirmation was made following damage assessments conducted in the days since.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the US National Weather Service Central Illinois for the early warning provided that evening—approximately 20 minutes of advance notice—which gave residents valuable time to seek shelter and prepare. That kind of lead time truly makes a difference when severe weather strikes.

In the aftermath, we’ve once again seen what makes our community strong. Neighbors helping neighbors, checking on one another, and coming together to begin the recovery process is what defines small-town resilience.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted, and we remain committed to serving and supporting our community.

Special Note: Our outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert for danger—they are not used to signal an “all clear.” We encourage everyone to continue monitoring trusted sources such as the National Weather Service, local media, and weather apps for updates and safety information.
