Danville District 118 School Board members have decided that Bill Dobbles will continue to serve as board president, and Dr. Randal Ashton will continue as the board’s vice-president. Neither had any opposition as the school board re-organized Wednesday evening (April 24, 2019).
Dobbles says there is work to do….
Dobbles is excited about $100-million dollars in new funding that is being released in Illinois for the Pre-K for All initiative….
School Board member Lon Henderson noted that with such an urgent need for Pre-K programs perhaps District 118 should be looking at a Pre-K center. The Danville district is considering starting a full-day Pre-Kindergarten program. Results of a survey of teachers, teaching assistants and support staff released during the school board meeting suggested that Southwest Elementary School would be the best location to house the Pre-K expansion. But the board has made no decision yet on the proposed expansion.
