The proposal, in the early stages of discussion, would save $350,000 a year, but elementary school start time would be nearly 9 a.m. "We just have to look at everything," Superintendent Pruneau says.
UPDATE: Tuesday, Jan. 15, 10 a.m.: District 205 School Board President Jim Collins had this to say Tuesday morning with regard to the three-tier bus proposal: "The board has asked Dave Pruneau and his administration to explore every idea they can think of to reduce the School District's costs without impacting the quality of education we deliver to our students. They are doing the job we asked them to do. We understand that a three tiered bus system will impact start times in our schools.

Tax levy is scheduled for adoption, too.
Elmhurst Unit District 205 School Board will hold its monthly business meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13, at the district's administration building, 162 S. York St. The open meeting will be preceded by an executive session at 6:30 p.m. to discuss employment of an employee and collective negotiations. Following the closed session, board members will call to order a public hearing for the adoption of the 2011 tax levy. The board agreed tentatively last month that it would ask for a levy increase of 4.7 percent, based on the assumption that the district will receive about $1.4 million in property taxes from the new Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. The hospital represents $38 million in new growth, according to the township assessor. School …
