DEPUE – DePue finally has some plausible answers on why their Student Improvement Grant (SIG) was terminated by the Illinois State Board of Education in November.

The state board auditors have determined the district supposedly misappropriated $332,904 for three different costs.

The items include the income to junior high teachers for extended days, the cost for elementary teachers in the master’s degree program through Concordia University, and the purchase of a copy machine, which was used in the SIG office at the school.
