• North Greene opens staff daycare to retain teachers (thetelegraph.com) — North Greene School District has turned the former White Hall Elementary School into the Little Spartans Educational Center, an on-site daycare for staff children that also eases the town’s childcare shortage. With only two home daycares in White Hall, this district-run option aims to retain teachers, keep parents working, and eventually expand once it secures a full DCFS license.
