The District 205 Board on Monday approved the transfer of Churchill Junior High School to the City of Galesburg. The School Board last week approved the sale of Nielson Elementary School to the Galesburg Rescue Mission but didn't make any decision on Churchill, which is anticipated on being closed by the start of next year. Superintendent Dr. John Asplund said the reason the district didn't take action on Churchill was so that additional language could be added giving them priority consideration if the city decided to gift or sell the Churchill property in the future.
