District 200 Makes Push for $154 Million in Facility Upgrades

The District 200 Board of Education is currently considering a referendum, which would appear on the April 2017 ballot, and would request taxpayers help pay for $154 million in projects identified in the district's Facilities Master Plan.

With that in mind, the school board will be hosting upcoming Facility Open Houses. At each open house, school officials will provide an overall project overview, as well as short, school-based presentations on a rotating basis.

The below video covers some of the facility upgrades that could be included
