Champaign school district wants public involved in planning

CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign school district may be looking at buildings, but school board members say they hope their long-range facilities plan will result in a school district that is integrated into the community, and a public that feels ownership in the district.

The board talked about how to go about the planning process in a special meeting Monday night.
