Shawnee District 84 weighs cuts to cut debt
About 150 residents attended a Shawnee District 84 meeting where Superintendent Harold Garner outlined a five year plan to close Wolf Lake Elementary and move students to Grand Tower and McClure Schools. The plan includes six elementary and two high school teacher layoffs and dropping the Tamms vocational program. Budget cuts and bond debt would raise taxes, with payments projected at 87.5 cents per 100 valuation in 1983 and gradually decreasing through 1987. The board will consider closing Wolf Lake or Grand Tower and study financial impacts before a formal vote next week.
