District eyes $50,000 state project grant to help offset $520,000 window replacement
Summary
District staff recommended applying the state's $50,000 School Project Grant to a planned replacement of windows on the building's main entrance side, an energy-efficiency project estimated at about $520,000; the board will review bids and scope before final approval in December.
The district presented an annual Illinois School Project Grant option to add $50,000 toward capital improvements, recommending the grant be applied to the summer capital-improvement projects now in scope review.
One concrete use discussed was replacement of windows on the main entrance side of the building. Staff estimated the windows project cost at approximately $520,000; the state grant would offset $50,000 of that total. A trustee noted the energy-efficiency benefits of new windows and other building improvements and recommended moving the grant forward for review and final approval at the December meeting.
Project bids were said to be in and the district is completing a scope-review process. Staff indicated the projects will return for review at the next facilities meeting and for final board action in December.
