Illinois Bills Push School Consolidation Rules in Murphysboro
Jackson County Superintendent V N Wheeles says two Illinois bills aimed at slowing consolidations and raising minimums for unit districts will pass. HB 1106 would bar areas under 1500 population or under 5 million valuation from joining community districts without state and county approval. HB 1059 would raise unit district thresholds to 1500 population and 10 million valuation, with Murphysboro’s proposal well above those limits.
