Urbana schools waiting on more than $2.6 million from state

URBANA – Urbana schools are owed more than $2.6 million by the state of Illinois, and if the state doesn't start paying up, the schools will probably be broke by mid-March, said Urbana school district Business Manager Carol Baker.

At the school board's Tuesday meeting, Baker and David Adcock, the director of Urbana Adult Education, said the funds were overdue since August.
