Final Community Forums on D112's Future Are This Week

The last of the district's six meetings to gather community input will be held Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. Sunday's meeting will be in Spanish.

Do you have an opinion about what District 112 should do about its aging buildings? If you haven't yet voiced those thoughts at one of the district's community forums, you still have a few options left. 

The final three meetings will be held this week.

The district must decide if it wants to maintain its buildings in their current state or risk blowing through cash reserves and being placed on a financial watch list over the next five years. Capital improvements coupled with the rising costs of benefits and staff salaries are outpacing the district’s overall annual operating budget of $70 million.

There are two meetings this week at the Highland Park Country Club, 1201 Park Avenue West. Click here to RSVP
