Kaneland School District 302 is taking applications from community members, students and staff members for committees that will provide input and make recommendations on the district’s upcoming facility improvement projects, according to a news release from the district.
This is the district’s latest step in its facility improvement plans. In April, a majority of voters approved via referendum the district’s request to issue over $140 million in bonds to pay for building improvements at all campuses across the district, according to past reporting.
The upgrades are focused on improving safety and accessibility, modernizing classrooms and upgrading buildings’ infrastructure, officials have said.
The district’s school board recently gave the green light on a $38 million bond sale to begin funding the projects and refund some outstanding obligations, according to past reporting. The board has also approved the execution of an escrow agreement, the levy of a direct annual tax to repay the bonds and the approval of the sale of the bonds to the purchaser.
The intention for the Core Planning Committees is for the community to provide input on the projects, monitor their progress and give recommendations to stakeholders during the renovation and construction processes, the release said.
