MACOMB — Parents and some students in the Macomb CUSD 185 district are urging the district to return to full-time learning.
During Monday’s meeting, Macomb Superintendent Patrick M. Twomey told the Macomb CUSD 185 Board of Education that he wanted to wait until the Illinois Department of Public Health gave its ok before Macomb’s students returned to school full-time. However, parents did not feel the same.
During the public comments section of the meeting, Emily Roberts spoke in favor of having students returned to school full-time. She said Bushnell-Prairie City, West Prairie and several school districts with larger student populations were able to return to full-time learning and believed Macomb should be able to return to full-time learning.
