Morris schools talk more about joining forces

Boards ready to vote on consolidation study

The full school boards and superintendents of three Morris school districts convened Wednesday evening to discuss ways to continue combining forces to save dollars.

The first official meeting of the Morris Community Schools Shared Services Committee, composed of Morris Community High School, Morris Grade School District 54 and Saratoga District 60C, met in Saratoga’s gymnasium to hear a presentation by an expert in school consolidation and to discuss shared services issues.

The board members of the three districts are considering commissioning a study on the feasibility of consolidation of the Morris schools and invited Dr. William Phillips, a member of the University of Illinois-Springfield group that would conduct the study, to talk and answer questions about consolidation.
