Who, What, Where, When, and How?

Construct A New High School...

• Construct a new high school on district owned
  property
• Why a second campus?
• Design capacity of existing building is 1600
  students

• Opening day in 2008 enrollment is expected to be
  2,275 minimum.

  campus

• Requires major acquisitions of adjacent homes
• Displaces families
• Cost prohibitive

  Illinois to offset costs of phase two
  developments at the second campus and capital
  improvements to the North Street Campus
• Bond Referendum for second campus will be the
  districts share for matching funds from future
  state construction programs.

Phase Two Development

  at the second campus as building capacities are
  reached.
• Ease on-site and off-site traffic impact
