A task force of educators in McLean County has planned a cybersecurity academy to help steer high school students toward one of the fastest-growing industries.

McLean County's Red, White and Blue public advisory committee that created three proposed county district maps will hear public feedback on those plans Monday night. The county formed the 24-member panel to try to remove politics from the county's drawing of board districts.

The 24 community members tasked with drawing new McLean County Board maps approved ground rules Wednesday and learned how the redistricting process will work in their first in a series of meetings over the next month to shape the county’s political boundaries for the next decade.

McLean County Board Chair John McIntyre says the county will have three advisory panels that will draft three County Board map proposals.
