Keep Wolf Lake school Shawnee unit board told
A parents group urged Shawnee Community Unit 8 to keep Wolf Lake Elementary open but the board took no action at its Monday meeting regarding a March 15 plan to close the school as part of cost cuts. Superintendent Harold Garner noted no motion was made to reverse the 4-3 closure decision. The district aims to cut about 170000 next year, with 10 teachers laid off in March and four non certified staff on Monday. The board also shifted workers comp to a new plan saving 2751, and changed student insurance rates for different grade levels.
