The Illinois State Board of Education has accepted the recommendation of the McHenry County Reorganization Committee that Huntley School District #158 not be consoli¬ dated at this time.
District #158 will continue as an independent system serving the Huntley area.
This decision comes after a year of concentrated efforts and in the face of a strong movement in Illinois toward consolidating small school Districts into larger Districts.
Mr. William Eisenmenger was the representative from Huntley.
