Murphysboro Unit Reconsiders Building Use Rules
Murphysboro Unit School Board will encourage community use of school facilities by qualified groups while ensuring custodial care and funding through user fees. They plan to survey key holders, review keys to rural schools, and maintain consistent control over building access. The board approves high school classrooms for an adult education program with SIU and contemplates an agricultural machine shop class and a driver education program. A formal letter initiative seeks highway route work for Unit 186 buses and Shoal Creek road improvements.
