Coal City Community Unit School District #1 will celebrate the completion of major restoration and renovation work at Coal City Intermediate School with a dedication ceremony and guided tours on Wednesday, Aug. 5.
The event marks the reopening and transformation of the school’s gymnasium and band room following a significant structural repair effort that began after concerns were identified within the building’s roof truss system.
What began as an unexpected challenge evolved into an opportunity for the district to invest in updated, safe and modernized spaces.
