Wabash Community Unit School District 348

Wabash Community Unit School District 348 is a school district headquartered in Mount Carmel, Illinois. The district includes the vast majority of the county, and has Mount Carmel, Bellmont, and Keensburg.[1] The consolidation of rural school districts into larger community units, such as Wabash CUSD 348, has been a common strategy in Illinois to manage resources more efficiently and address population decline.[2]
