Summary

The district board approved a list of life-safety projects for Central Campus — including roof, heating, electrical and bathrooms — which will be forwarded to the Will County Regional Office of Education and then to the state for approval before financing and work selection.

At its Sept. 16 meeting, the Board of Education approved a list of life-safety work for Central Campus, Superintendent Dr. Bob McBride said.

McBride described life-safety work as upkeep needed to support building occupants — roofs, walls, heating, electrical systems and restroom infrastructure — and explained the board approved a prioritized list that will be submitted to the Will County Regional Office of Education for review and onward submission to the state. “The Board of Education approved a list of life safety work that will then go to the Will County Regional Office of Education that will then go to the state and if the state approves that as proper life safety work we can then begin the process of saying what life safety work do we want to do at Central,” McBride said.

Why it matters: Life-safety approvals are the preliminary step before the district determines financing options and begins specific construction or repair projects. McBride said some life-safety items are also at the East Campus and that the district is committed to keeping both campuses safe and ready for learners.
