UNION SCHOOL STAFFERS, STUDENTS ORGANIZE TO PREVENT CLOSURE
(Modoc, IN)--People who live in the Union school district in and around Modoc are organizing in an effort to save the school from closure. Senate Bill 1, which is working its way through the state legislature, would bring about the permanent closure of Union schools. The Indiana State Teacher’s Association is holding a rally Monday at the Indiana Statehouse. "We have many students and community members and teachers who want to be there, so we are amending our schedule to allow our folks to go," said Union Superintendent Galen Mast. The current amendment in the bill would have Union students divided between Blue River and Monroe Central. A legislative update with J.D. Prescott has also been set for this coming Saturday morning at the Randolph County Fairgrounds.
