Du Quoin Meeting Urges Extra First Grade Teacher
About 40 parents and teachers pressed the Du Quoin unit school board to hire another first grade teacher due to enrollment near 30. They also urged hiring a second grade teacher. The board took no action but planned a March 18 special meeting to discuss budget cuts and possible hiring. The session also covered back pay disputes for girls athletics and personnel actions, with reemployment and tenure decisions approved for most teachers.
