Unit Five Transportation Changes Ahead

Staff

Big changes will be coming in the way thousands of Bloomington Normal School children get to school. The Unit Five School district in McLean and neighboring Counties needs to cut a million dollars from its transportation line item to make next year's budget survivable. Charlie Schlenker talks with Superintendent Mark Daniel about the impossibility of making everyone happy no matter how the schedule gets rearranged.

You can also listen Tuesday to more from Unit Five Superintendent Mark Daniel about efforts to jump start private fundraising for the district and about the horrible what if planning the district is doing to get ready in case lawmakers and the governor continue to avoid passing a state budget. That's on Sound Ideas on GLT.
