The overall attendance is 95.75% and the average daily attendance (ADA) is 1,770.88.

Fayette Savings Donation Representatives from Fayette Savings presented a check for $2,200 to Superintendent Andy McHazlett at last week’s meeting. The money came from the debit card school program. The debit cards are available for anyone who has an account with Fayette Savings. There are branches of Fayette Savings Bank in La Grange, Flatonia, Schulenburg, and Weimar. A portion of each transaction made with the debit cards goes back to the schools in that community.
