Lighting upgrades at Libertyville High School are set to enhance both the aesthetics and energy efficiency of the facility, thanks to a new program from ComEd. During the April 2025 Committee Meeting of the D128 School Board, officials announced that the district will replace outdated lighting in the main gym and gymnastics gym at no cost to taxpayers.
Mark, a district representative, shared that the initiative was prompted by a community member's suggestion. After some initial hesitation, the district explored the ComEd program, which allows for the replacement of existing LED fixtures with new ones without any financial burden on the school. "This program is a great opportunity for us to improve our facilities while saving money," Mark stated.
The upgrades will not only improve lighting quality but also reduce operational costs, as LED lights are more energy-efficient. The district is currently evaluating additional classrooms for potential upgrades, aiming to complete the project over the summer. "We want to ensure that every space is considered, so we don't miss any areas that need improvement," Mark emphasized.
This proactive approach reflects the district's commitment to enhancing the learning environment while being fiscally responsible. With no cash flow required from the district, the initiative is a win-win for Libertyville High School and its community.
