Moline Coal Valley School District
Moline Coal Valley School District Superintendent Dr. Rachel Savage speaks with WVIK News about the district's long-range facilities plan, including the retirement of the 127-year-old Willard Elementary building. The district is paying WIU $20,000 a month to relocate Lincoln-Irving students for the 2026-27 school year at the university's Quad-Cities campus, as the district renovates and expands the Lincoln-Irving building.
