Unit 5 Votes to Redistrict Some Students Due to Overcrowding

To ease overcrowding at the fast growing Unit 5 school district in McLean County, our news partner WJBC Radio says the school board Wednesday night voted to redistrict some grade school students at Benjamin and Cedar Ridge Schools. The changes mean students in the McGraw subdivision will be sent to Northpoint School. McGraw area students currently attending Evans Junior High can remain at Evans and future students will attend Kingsley. All incoming fifth graders affected by redistricting who currently attend Benjamin Elementary can choose to remain there next year. Students in open attendance areas will be assigned to one of several schools by May first.
