Dist. 103 wants community input on space needs

Lincolnshire-Prairie View District 103 is seeking input from residents on how best to meet its space needs as enrollment rises. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26, at Daniel Wright Junior High School, 1370 N. Riverwoods Road in Lincolnshire.

For the past three years, the district has been reviewing facility needs to deal with rising enrollment, and with programming from federal and state mandates and district initiatives, the need for the optimization and addition of space has become evident.

The district has been working with architectural firm Wight and Co. to identify the best ways to optimize our current space and plan for current and future needs.

The school board, staff and community members have been meeting since last spring to create a draft plan, which will be presented and discussed at the meeting. Then the plan will be refined and presented to the board Sept. 1. The board will give direction at its Sept. 15 meeting on how the space needs will be addressed.
