$36.3 Million Referendum Placed on Ballot in Northbrook and Glenview
If approved, the District 30 bond measure will help construct a new Maple School.
NORTHBROOK, IL - A new Maple School could be built adjacent to the existing school on Shermer Road if voters in the Northbrook/Glenview School District 30 approve a $36.3 million bond issue the board of education decided to place on the ballot in April.
Board members unanimously approved placing the referendum question on the ballot without much discussion, according to the Journal & Topics.
The bond would be fixed over 20 years and paid through property taxes. An additional $47.55 would be added for every $1,000 on a property tax bill, so a home with a $10,000 property tax would have $475 added to their annual bill.

Initial plans are for the new middle school to open in 2019.
