The .@StJosephSchools plan for Southside students is to move most of Lake kids to Hosea. 6th graders will move to middle school (Spring Garden)

Correction: .@StJosephSchools will not possibly be asking staff to pay $100 per month for health insurance. Instead district would be contributing $100 less per month into self-insirance fund for one year.
