Marion Community Unit School District 2
Marion Community Unit School District 2 is a school district headquartered in Marion, Illinois. It serves sections of Williamson County and Johnson County. It serves thirteen townships, with all but one in Williamson County.
History[]
It was established in 1951 by a merger of about the entirety and/or portions of 45 existing school districts, including the Marion Township High School District. It originally had 53 square miles (140 km2) of area, though through annexations it grew to 159 square miles (410 km2).[1]
In 2016 Marion CUSD had not yet received the requested federal and state funds for finishing the new high school's construction, so the school board was determining whether it should take out a credit line for up to $7.3 million for that purpose.[2]
