The Elmhurst School District 205 Board of Education meeting on September 23, 2025, highlighted the successful completion of projects funded by a referendum approved by the community in November 2018. The referendum, which totaled $168.5 million, aimed to enhance safety, expand learning spaces, and address maintenance needs across all district schools.

During the meeting, a video recap was presented, showcasing the progress made since the referendum's approval. Every project outlined in the referendum has been completed, including the construction of two new school buildings, remodeled classrooms, and increased safety measures throughout the district. Additionally, a new transition center has been established to support young adult learners. The board noted that an extra $21 million was added to the project scope to meet evolving needs, all while staying on time and within budget.

The meeting also featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly renovated Madison Early Childhood Center, marking a significant milestone in the district's efforts to improve educational facilities. Board members expressed gratitude to the community for their trust and investment, emphasizing the collaborative effort that made these accomplishments possible.

Looking ahead, the board announced upcoming meetings, including a Parent Teacher Advisory Committee meeting on October 8, 2025, and a regular Board of Education meeting on October 21, 2025. These gatherings will continue to foster community engagement and address ongoing educational needs.
