Coal City, IL – Coal City Intermediate School closed suddenly Wednesday after structural concerns emerged in the North Gym. District officials cited an “abundance of caution” for the decision and consulted with the Regional Office of Education.
Starting Thursday, 4th and 5th-grade students will attend Coal City High School, where bus schedules will remain unchanged. Parents are asked to drop students at Door 9 in the west parking lot and pick them up at the high school’s north side near Door 1. Students are invited to wear Halloween costumes.
Friday will be a non-attendance day for these grades, though other Coal City schools will follow regular schedules. Additional relocation details for 4th and 5th graders will be provided soon.
Superintendent Christopher T. Spencer emphasized the district’s commitment to safety and said the school would stay closed until further notice.
