From today's News-Gazette:
After the cash-strapped Community Day Care closed in February, the Urban League re-evaluated all of its programs and decided that "we really didn't belong in education," said Sandra Jones, the league's interim chief executive officer.
With Parkland College, the University of Illinois and "excellent" local school systems, she said, "any grant money we had would be a drop in the bucket compared to all of their resources. It was smarter for us to advocate on their behalf rather than trying to run the programs ourselves."
The intent is to focus on business and work force development, housing and transportation, she said.
Interesting.
