Superintendent Kristen Weikle also announced Tuesday that McLean County's largest school district will launch a major strategic planning initiative next year.
The Unit 5 school board on Wednesday renewed its formal E-Learning Day program, a state-approved plan for how the district approaches remote learning on days when schools can’t meet in person.
Starting next fall, there’ll be no more sports or clubs for Unit 5 junior high students no sports teams for freshmen, and no band/orchestra for fifth-graders.
The Unit 5 school board spent more than three hours Wednesday digging into which stark cuts to potentially make given the district’s $11 million deficit.
