Hazel Crest board reviews Performing Arts Center design options, keeps district office at Lincoln
Summary
Trustees flagged PAC costs and instructed staff to prioritize budget constraints. Superintendent Cynthia Levy said the district office will remain at Lincoln while JMA presents options to place only the Performing Arts Center at the Warren Palm site.
President Dean Barnett opened the Sept. 15 meeting by flagging the cost of a proposed Performing Arts Center and the district office, saying, "We need to stay within budget constraints." The meeting was held at the Barack H. Obama building in Markham and included district staff and construction consultants.
Superintendent Dr. Cynthia Levy told the board she supports keeping the district office at Lincoln: "Dr. Levy has stated keeping district office at Lincoln." Barnett said JMA would present new design options that would locate just the Performing Arts Center at the Warren Palm location. Construction staff listed as present included Jim Majewski and Michael Tucker, who were identified in meeting materials as involved with the PAC design.
The board did not take a final vote on site changes or funding at the regular meeting; trustees discussed design alternatives and budget limits and set the matter for further consideration when consultants deliver formal plans. No specific funding sources or dollar amounts were stated in the minutes.
