Mansfield Internet and phones were restored. They can receive and make calls at this time.
Thank you
We are experiencing Internet issues on our Mansfield campus. This prevents phone calls from coming in and going out in that building. You can email secretaries/teachers as needed and some of them will have the ability to check their phones. If your need is urgent, please call the unit office (309) 928-9141 and we will get ahold of the teacher and/or secretary. We will notify you when the issue is resolved but it will require some time/reprogramming. Thank you for your patience!
