Rantoul to expand summer migrant-education program

RANTOUL – With more migrant families than ever spending the summer living, working and going to school in Rantoul, Rantoul Township High School has needed to expand its summer migrant-education program.

The high school board voted 7-0 on Monday to create four additional instructors (two teachers and two teacher's aides) to handle all the students who have enrolled in the Rantoul migrant school.
