Is consolidation of Morris school districts feasible?

Shared Services committee asks boards to consider doing a study

The Morris Community Shared Services Committee discussed consolidation of schools in Morris Wednesday afternoon. The committee then decided to talk about conducting a feasibility study with the public schools' boards of education.

Since MCSSC last met, the Classrooms First Commission in Springfield, lead by Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, gave 23 recommendations to Governor Pat Quinn's office to reduce education spending throughout the state.

Consolidation was discussed by Classrooms First and it was decided there was not a "one-size-fits-all" model for school districts. Consolidation was not the answer statewide.
