Three southern Illinois school districts are among 31 districts overall to share more than 600 million dollars to help improve schools across the state.
The Marion Unit 2 School District will receive over 56-million dollars in capital funds, Mt. Vernon High School will receive over 47-million to help build a new school and Shawnee District 84 is receiving over 2 million dollars.
Governor Pat Quinn says the capital funding will help districts repair aging school buildings...and update classrooms and other school facilities. Quinn says the updates could also be made to technology to further enhance student's learning.
