O’Fallon District 90 open to exploring consolidation with neighboring districts

At a recent District 90 school board meeting, several parents and citizens brought up the issue of school district consolidation. Based on that feedback, O’Fallon School District 90 appears to be open to exploring consolidation.

District 90 wrote a letter to Central District 104, O’Fallon District 203 and Shiloh District 85 about three years ago to see if they might be interested in helping fund a consolidation study.

All three school districts replied to District 90, saying they were not in favor of studying consolidation at that time, Board President John Wagnon said.

At that time, District 90 put consolidation ideas on hold.

While consolidation is not listed on tonight’s school board meeting agenda, the District 90 board could discuss the possibility of sending another letter at its board meeting but would have to wait until consolidation is added as an official agenda item to take any action, according to Wagnon.

The meeting, starting at 7 p.m., will be held at District 90 administration’s building.
