Address facilities projects identified in the Facilities Master Plan.
Policy:
Background The administration identified and prioritized LLC updates at Johnson and Whittier Elementary Schools. In addition, administration sought an alternate bid for replacing all ceilings and lights at Washington Elementary School along with an alternate for replacing all ceilings and lights in the eight (8) adjacent classrooms to the Whittier Elementary LLC. These projects are outside of the capital plan, but were reviewed and recommended by the Facilities Committee prior to bidding. The majority of the funding for the two LLC renovations are from Developer Donations that the District has been receiving from local municipalities (Naperville & Warrenville) since Fiscal Year 2021 and a $100,000 State of Illinois Grant for the Library renovation at Johnson Elementary School.
