th District State Senator Doris Turner of Springfield announced today that her district would be receiving nearly $125 million in American Rescue Plan funding for public schools. Turner said in a press release that the money will be a big relief for schools to help at-risk students near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
North Mac School District is set to receive $4,273,024 of the funding. At least 20% of the funding must be used to address learning loss, but beyond that, school districts can use the money to address many different issues and costs. The Illinois State Board of Education has issued a voluntary guide for local school boards to help them best decide on how to use the funding.

WHITE HALL Gas prices are keeping North Greene schools closed for the rest of the week.
North Greene Unit District No. 3 made the decision after White Hall’s utility department told district officials that heating the school buildings through the week would cost $100,000 a day.
Schools now are set to reopen Monday.
Auburn Community Unit District No. 10 schools also will be closed until Monday because of high gas usage and prices. Darren Iozia
