Proviso Twp HSD 209 board approves physical changes to support complex site plan after minor corrections
Summary
The Proviso Township High School District 209 board approved physical changes to its support-complex site plan after members requested minor corrections to amenities and materials; the motion carried on a 6-0 roll call. Board members also discussed lighting, water access and pathway materials.
At a school-board meeting, the Proviso Township High School District 209 board approved physical changes to the district's support-complex site plan as presented in the evening's visual materials. The chair (S1) called for the motion and the board voted to approve the plan by roll call.
The proposal, discussed by a staff presenter (S3) and multiple board members, reflected feedback from a prior meeting and reserves a parcel for a future park. A board member (S4) flagged program-item errors on the plans, noting specifically that the two volleyball courts were listed as "sand" but the surface is not sand: "It's not sand," S4 said, asking that the plans be corrected.
Members also discussed athletic-site elements such as lighting and water access. One board member noted funding for lights has been set aside; another raised concerns about pathway surfacing described in the discussion as limestone and its maintenance (weeding and potential chemical use around athletic fields).
The motion to approve the physical changes was put by the chair (S1) and seconded. During a roll-call vote the following names were called and recorded as voting "Aye": Miss Smith; Miss Barbayune; Dr. Fisher; Miss Morris; Miss Carol Campbell; and Mrs. Nixon. The chair announced the motion carried (six ayes).
Next steps discussed included correcting the program item wording (removing the inaccurate "sand" designation) and routing updated plan documents to the education office as proposed. The board indicated the tennis-court plan and related athletic improvements will return for further review at the Aug. 11 meeting.
