House grants Crete-Monee School District 2010 aid
The Illinois House approved a 116 to 1 vote for a state emergency grant program for Crete-Monee School District 2010 and sent the bill to the Senate. Rep. Mike Giglio urged expansion to Bloom Township High School District 206 but failed in committee.
