After two failed referendums, Monticello is still in the same situation with their school buildings they were almost five years ago.
Superintendent of Monticello Schools, Dr. Vic Zimmerman says since the second failed referendum almost a year ago, the Board took a break in their evaluation of the district's facilities. He notes, now, they are ready to revamp that effort.
According to Dr. Zimmerman, the district will likely look to remodel the high school to accommodate 21st century classrooms. He also notes, it could be an addition to the current high school or combining schools as well.
Technological infrastructure will likely be a part of the future plans of the facilities at Monticello schools. Dr. Zimmerman feels technology plays too big of a role in education today to not have it in Monticello schools.
The Board of Education is seeking community members to join their committee. If you're in Monticello and would like to be a part of this process, contact Dr. Zimmerman at 217-762-8511.
