Urbana Dual Language School chosen in 4-3 vote

URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — The Urbana School District has officially filled its board vacancy and decided on a redistricting plan.

Parents and teachers filled Tuesday night’s meeting in hopes of persuading the board to hold off on the decision to close one school. Both Thomas Paine and Yankee Ridge were options for the new home of a dual language program.
