Online fundraiser still going for Streator schools

After an initial fundraising push, donations have waned towards the struggling Streator Elementary School District.

A “gofundme” account was set up late last month by Jan Urbance who is the co-president of the elementary district teacher’s union. A little over two thousand dollars has been raised so far in nearly three weeks. Urbance set a goal of $125,000.

Money raised is supposed to go towards keeping sports in the district. The elementary board in Streator has already closed a school, cut staff and done away with art, music and PE classes.
