Southern Illinois school troubles in Jackson County
In Jackson County three small high schools and Pomona Grade School face reorganization. Pomona’s aging facilities and low tax base risk closure without consolidation with Murphysboro or Cobden. Trico and Mississippi Valley districts show small high schools but seek viable options, while Elverado and surrounding rural districts resist unit-district moves amid integration and funding concerns.
