• Long Range Facilities Plan Updates - 2018

    The Board of Education approved a Long Term Facilities Plan on October 5, 2017. 
     
    The Business Department and the Facilities and Grounds Department just completed a large amount of facilities work this past summer.  Projects were completed on time and under budget.   
     
    District 33 used existing District fund balance to pay for these repairs and upgrades.  No borrowed money or referendum was needed.  Arcon and Associates is the architect in charge of these projects and will be presenting a summary of the summer 2018 work at the October 4, 2018 Board of Education meeting.  Plans for summer 2019 are already in the works.

    • No money was borrowed to complete these updates and summer cleaning still took place!
