The Illini West School Board spent a year evaluating potential sites for a new high school. It chose a location next door. It is just east of the current high school's parking lot.
The 40-acre site is farmland that is currently covered by tall, green and brown corn plants.
Those who were hoping for a central location will be disappointed.
But Superintendent Kim Schilson says such a location would come with some expensive problems to solve.
