But on Tuesday evening, the Unit 4 school district agreed to pay $298,000 and become that property's owner, ending a years-long state of "limbo" for Tim and Deb Bowers, the current owners...
In other board news, members heard from a public engagement firm who'd analyzed the district's projected enrollment over the next 10 years. Information from that report could inform later decisions on whether to redistrict, board members said, but public input and more information would be necessary first.
According to the study, the district's estimated overall enrollment in 10 years could be 10,571 — up a few hundred students from the projection of 10,182 students this school year.
The board also approved a hazardous materials abatement contract with Abetco Inc. for $123,797.
Two grant proposals written by assistant superintendent Jennifer Ivory-Tatum and aimed at "support[ing] instruction for the educationally disadvantaged students" — as well as providing professional development for teachers within that programming — also received the board's stamp of approval.
