D155 To Provide Updates On School Upgrades This Summer

CRYSTAL LAKE-CARY, IL - From District 155: D155 summer construction projects are underway at all four high schools as a part of the 2018 Capital Improvements Project. District officials will publish and share weekly video updates from each school to give taxpayers an inside look at the progress throughout the summer.

The Board of Education approved $13,973,365 in capital projects for necessary maintenance and upkeep of the district’s schools. Renovations include water lines, roofs, track resurfacing, parking lots, clock intercom systems, door replacements, tennis courts and air conditioning for the cafeteria and kitchen at Crystal Lake Central.

“We want to be transparent with taxpayers and we certainly understand $14 million in improvements is significant. It’s important for our community to see the changes we’re making that benefit our students and community,” said Steve Olson, superintendent.

The district will publish weekly video updates on the district’s website, www.d155.org, and on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, search @CHSD155. The updates will cover visible projects like the tennis courts replacement at Central and Prairie Ridge and the relocation of Haber Oaks, and also give community members the opportunity to see the small improvements, like the water line replacement at Cary-Grove.

“D155 is dedicated to serving the community and keeping our community informed, and we appreciate our taxpayer’s feedback when we share construction project updates,” said Olson.
