Indian Prairie District 204 boundaries continued to be discussed by the school board with tremendous resident interest and involvement. According to the Daily Herald last night’s meeting attracted over 700 people - 121 of whom signed up to speak. The board will meet again at 7:30 PM Wednesday, Jan 25 in Neuqua Valley auditorium, 2360 95th Street - and they may decide at that meeting to meet again the following day (Thursday).
