The district’s financial standing is the source of concern.

Fairview Heights, IL – Teachers, staff, parents, and community members will be attending the Grant District 110 school board meeting tonight, with serious questions to ask about district financials. The school district has recently been put on the Illinois State Board of Education’s financial watch list, after holding a place on the early warning list since 2021.

The union representing teachers and staff recently put out a statement calling for transparency and solutions, one of which is replacing Superintendent Stines with a district leader who can manage the bookkeeping process and prioritize bringing more funds into the district.
