Hear about District 73 facility plan at board meeting

The public is invited to a special board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 19, to receive important information about Hawthorn District 73 building improvements under its Educational Facility Master Plan.

District 73 has experienced growth over the past few years and the master plan will provide a long-term solution for both the district's urgent facility needs and for continued growth and academic excellence into the future.

The Hawthorn Board of Education hired DLR Group of Chicago in March to evaluate its current facility conditions and to facilitate a Core Team made up of community members, staff, administrators and facility leadership to discuss and create solutions that address the district's needs. Wednesday's presentation will be the community's first opportunity to give feedback to the Core Team regarding a master plan solution prior to board of education consideration later this fall.

The presentation and conversation will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 19 at Townline Elementary, 810 N. Aspen Drive, Vernon Hills. Child care will be provided along with a light snack. For child care, RSVP to Wendy Peterson at petersonw@hawthorn73.org or call (847) 990-4215.
