C-U Schools Foundation asks to expand

CHAMPAIGN – Last year, the C-U Schools Foundation gave $43,000 to Champaign and Urbana teachers to be used for, among other things, a music technology lab, library books and a special education newsletter.

It was a record amount for them to give away. But officials say they could be doing much more.
