How did the Board of Education reach the decision to propose the referendum?
The District 202 administration analyzed growth trends by working with local municipalities and building developers to determine the number of homes that will be added to the community over the next five years. Based on that data, the district then applied a formula (previously utilized by a community-based committee) to determine how many additional children would be attending school within the district during that time frame. The Board of Education reviewed the projections provided by the district administration and decided to propose the five-year construction plan laid out in the referendum.
