County Board Favors School Redistricting Plan
The Cole County Board of Education approved redistricting into seven units to consolidate school areas and close some underused facilities. Units would comprise multiple existing districts with varied enrollments and valuations, aiming for economies and smoother governance. A statewide ruling necessitates district changes by vote rather than splits.
