Morris Community High weighs minimum class size policy
The Morris Community High School Board failed to decide on a minimum class size policy during Tuesday's meeting. Superintendent Harold Sutter warned the policy is a tough choice, as eight classes enroll 13 or fewer students. The board awaits North Central Association guidance and lay committee input before deciding, while budget talks proceed and hearings are planned for staff growth and salary matters.
