Litchfield Community School District #12

Litchfield CUSD #12 will be transitioning to a new website platform. As part of this process, the district website will be unavailable on July 3. We appreciate your patience as we work to create an improved experience for our students, families, staff, and community. The SCI website will remain unchanged.

The South Central Illinois Regional Workforce Training and Innovation Center (SCI) is proud to announce it has been awarded a $479,000 Clean Energy Pathway Grant from DCEO to support the expansion of high-quality career and technical education programming over the next two years.
This significant investment will strengthen SCI’s ability to provide students across the nine partner school districts it serves with access to in-demand career pathways aligned to regional workforce needs. Specifically, the grant will enhance programming in Laborers Construction Craft Apprenticeship and Industrial Maintenance/Advanced Manufacturing, ensuring students are equipped with the technical skills and hands-on experiences necessary to succeed in today’s evolving energy and infrastructure sectors.
The success of this grant application reflects a strong regional collaboration. SCI extends its sincere appreciation to its valued partners, including Laborers Local 1084, Pattern Energy, and Lincoln Land Community College, for their letters of support and ongoing commitment to workforce development.
SCI also recognizes the critical role of the West Central Development Council, whose expertise in providing workforce and labor market data helped shape a strong, data-informed proposal aligned to regional economic priorities.
Through this funding, SCI will continue to expand partnerships with industry and postsecondary institutions, enhance instructional capacity, and provide students with clear, attainable pathways into high-demand careers in construction, manufacturing, and clean energy sectors.
