What will happen if the referendum fails?
During the Community Engagement portion of the facilities planning process, Option B was discussed as the one that would be used if a referendum failed. That option includes spending as little as possible on Central now (e.g., fixing the science labs where they are, even though current room size is too small), and re-evaluating a more complete renovation at some later date. Option B also included less money for improvements at Naperville North and Mill Street Elementary. Naturally, there is always a possibility that if the final vote was “close,” the Board of Education could consider placing a similar question on a future ballot. It would most likely be at a higher cost, with a resulting delay in project completion.
