Midland Community Unit School District #7 is a school district headquartered in Sparland, Illinois. [2]
It operates Midland Elementary School, Midland Middle School, and Midland High School.
This section needs expansion. You can help by
adding to it. (March 2020) |
The district formed through an act of consolidation circa 1996. Rolf Sivertsen served as the Midland CUSD superintendent until July 1, 2016, as he moved to Canton, Illinois. [3]
In 2016 Gary L. Smith of the Journal Star wrote that there were "sometimes bitter geographic divisions" and cited a case where, in an election to build a new school in Lacon, residents of Lacon gave "overwhelming support" but that people in Sparland and Varna "strongly opposed" the measure. [3] Overall 55% of participants voted in favor in 2016, causing the measure to pass. [4]
On May 16, 2016, L. William "Bill" Wrenn [5] was selected as the superintendent. [6] Wrenn served in this capacity until he died in January 2020. [7] Wrenn planned to finish his term at the end of the 2019–2020 school year. [8]
Sivertsen, [...] will be trying to heal the sometimes bitter geographic divisions in the approximately 20-year-old consolidated district.
