Effingham Unit #40 Looking At Daycare Facility, Passes Letter Of Intent In Monday Meeting

Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- Effingham Unit #40 may soon have a building to start up a Daycare facility to help the staff of the District.

Little Lambs Early Childhood Education Center is the building being sought, and Superintendent Andy Johnson said the idea is to have daycare services provided to employees of the District and as the kids at the daycare progress, they will be “moved up” to the next level of care at the facility. The goal is to not only help with the daycare shortage in the area, but also help potential new staff members with daycare services so it will not prevent them from moving to the area.

The goal is to have this all finalized by the beginning of next year, with a fee of $125k for the acquisition.

During the Monday meeting, board members also set the graduation date for May 14th at 2pm. They also approved ROE #3 for another year, the “alternative education” classes.

The Board also approved seeking bids for concrete or asphalt for ELC for their parking lot. Bids will be sought for both asphalt and concrete.
