New school board president to take gavel

CHAMPAIGN – School board members' action-packed Monday night agenda includes a change in officers and approval of a site to be purchased for a new elementary school.

At the 7 p.m. meeting at district headquarters, 703 South New St., board President Scott Anderson is expected to hand over the gavel to one of two contenders for the president's job, Margie Skirvin or Dave Tomlinson. Members will vote on Anderson's successor at the meeting.
