Unit 4 Applications Submitted and Reopened

First a follow up on this post about the charter school application which has now been submitted:

Group formally submits proposal for new charter school
If a group of community leaders gets its wish, a charter school not far from the North Prospect retail district will open its doors to no fewer than 40 low-income students as soon as August

Monday night, backers of what’s being called North Champaign Academy submitted to Unit 4 board members a formal application for the new school. It would be located in the 1400 block of Moreland Boulevard and aim to better educate low-income students.

Additionally people interested in Unit 4's assortment of capital projects have an opportunity to serve on the oversight committee. From the same N-G article:

— Unit 4 reopened applications for the Referendum Oversight Committee, which board President Chris Kloeppel said was a response to community feedback.

The board is “looking for individuals to serve in that capacity,” he said.

As the District moves forward with six capital projects following the passage of the $183.4 million referendum on November 8, 2016, the Board of Education authorized the creation of a Referendum Oversight Committee comprised of interested community members.
