Brother Sullivan has great wisdom earned alongside his many gray chin whiskers.
In one of our counties, districts were numbered to coincide with their alphabetical order: Effingham County: Altamont CUSD #10 Beecher City CUSD #20 Dieterich CUSD #30 Effingham CUSD #40 Teutopolis CUSD #50 This actually makes it easier to remember which district has which number. Not so for the other two counties: Fayette County: Brownstown CUSD #201 St. Elmo CUSD #202 Vandalia CUSD #203 Ramsey CUSD #204 Bond County: Mulberry Grove CUSD #1 Bond County CUSD #2 -MD On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 7:20 PM, Sullivan, Terence <sulliv...@shiloh1.us>wrote: > District numbers are by County. > > > > Most are just numbers and follow tradition.
