Sarcoxie R-2 School District to have school Wednesday despite city boil order


The city of Sarcoxie has issued a boil order until further notice, but that won't stop school from being held Wednesday.

R-2 Superintendent Phil Lewis posted on the following message on the district's Facebook page:

We will have school tomorrow, March 4, 2026, even though Sarcoxie is under a boil order. We will have a limited number of water bottles at school tomorrow. Please send a water bottle with your student for school, and extra for any after-school practice. Thank you for your cooperation.







City officials announced the boil order this afternoon, posting the following message on the city's Facebook page:

BOIL ORDER IN EFFECT
3/3/2026 4:30 PM

Until further notice:

Boil all water for at least 1 full minute at a rolling boil before using it for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, or preparing food.

Bottled water may be used as an alternative.
Water may still be used for bathing and handwashing, but avoid swallowing it.
We will notify you when the boil order is lifted. Updates will be provided through local radio and television stations, the Sarcoxie Record and Facebook.

Your safety is our priority. Thank you for your cooperation
