District 118 Plans Adult Education, Restores Some Cut Services

District 118 is developing plans for adult education while using a new grant to restore some items that had been cut.

Grant restores some services

The grant will bring back some of the cut items. Project Success busing is one of the services identified for restoration.

The grant does not restore every previously cut item. The development connects the district’s financial planning with two needs: creating adult education plans and returning selected services.

Adult education plans are in development

District 118 is also working on adult education plans. The plans are still in development, and the district’s next steps will determine how the program takes shape.

Adult education is separate from the grant-backed restoration of Project Success busing, although both matters are part of the district’s current planning.

What comes next

District 118 will have to turn the adult education plans into a more specific program and carry out the grant-funded restorations. Project Success families and other residents affected by the cuts will be watching for details about when restored services resume and which other items are included.

The grant and the adult education work mark two distinct pieces of the district’s plans: one returns some services that had been cut, and the other addresses future adult education offerings. Vermilion County First reported on the development.
