Lincoln Way holds public hearing on $31.33 million school safety bond issue
Summary
The Lincoln Way Board of Education opened and closed a public hearing on the district’s intent to sell $31,330,000 in school fire prevention and safety bonds to fund life-safety work at Lincoln Way East and Lincoln Way Central high schools; no public testimony was received and the hearing was adjourned by unanimous vote.
Lincoln Way Board of Education members opened a public hearing on the district’s intent to sell $31,330,000 in school fire prevention and safety bonds to fund life-safety facility improvements at Lincoln Way East and Lincoln Way Central high schools, and then closed the hearing after receiving no oral or written testimony.
The hearing gave residents the formal opportunity to submit comment on the proposed bond sale. Board members asked whether there were any additional comments following information presented at last month’s meeting; none were offered. The board secretary reported no written testimony had been submitted in advance. After the opportunity for public comment passed, a motion and second were made to adjourn the hearing; the motion carried unanimously.
The hearing does not itself authorize selling bonds; it is a public-notice step allowing comment on the district’s stated intent. No motion to issue bonds appeared on the meeting agenda and no vote to issue bonds was taken during the open session.
Board members present at the hearing noted there were no speakers signed up and proceeded to close the record. The board will proceed with any subsequent steps related to the bond sale in later agenda items or meetings as required.
