Zeigler-Royalton District to trim new grade school cost
The Zeigler-Royalton School District 188 Board of Education will meet tonight to cut construction expenses by 208000.

The project combines an 850000 bond approved in 1977 with a 1.5 million Capital Development Board grant to replace Leiter School after mine subsidence damage.
