Mokena Educators Face Budget Woes
Mokena board of education faces a growing deficit—about 60,000 at year start, potentially 300,000 by June. They plan cuts including bus service for band rehearsals saving about 2,000, offer only remedial summer classes, and consider a towel fee increase. A $9,500 furnishing cost rise for six new rooms at Mokena Elementary prompted bids to reduce expenses by item.
