Mount Morris school funding gains brighten district outlook
Mount Morris gains $114,000 more state aid for next year due to a two year tax increase approved by the Illinois Legislature. The district will receive a total of $908,000 in state aid this year though officials warn funds may not persist after the two year period. A plan to reserve some extra funds for education is being considered. The board approved an asbestos encapsulation bid for the special education building and allowed high school driver education to be offered before or after school.
