Regional offices may consolidate
Official wants to keep facility in Whiteside
STERLING – Whiteside County’s regional office of education may consolidate with the office for Lee and Ogle counties, an official says.
Under a new law, the state is cutting the number of regional offices from 44 to 35. Each regional district must serve at least 61,000 people. Now, that number is 43,000.
According to the 2010 Census, Whiteside County’s population is 58,498, and so it must join another region.
