A group of about a dozen central Illinois schools are organizing to create a business opportunity for their seniors in high school.
Among the group of districts will be Blue Ridge Schools and Superintendent Susan Wilson, they have formed a steering committee to get things going.
According to Wilson, the program is going to require a certain amount of funds to be raised but notes it is not coming from the districts. She explains it will be a partnership with the community.
Wilson feels the way the program is set up, it will create a community effort to give students the opportunity.
Students will learn the basics about business from business leaders in each community. They will create their own business and take that business to a trade show.
