Board approves phase‑1 referendum furniture purchases, prioritizes world language classrooms
Summary
Trustees approved the first-phase furniture purchase from the district referendum, using student and teacher input; the roll‑out will prioritize world language classrooms, pause over summer, and proceed in phases to avoid cost escalation.
The Lake Forest Community High School District 115 Board approved phase 1 of referendum‑funded classroom furniture purchases.
District staff member Jen told the board the recommendation reflects input from students and staff and lessons learned from test classrooms. "We developed a menu, of sorts," Jen said, and the district will start with world language classrooms and allow teachers to select from that menu. She said purchasing will pause over the summer while teachers are out and then resume in phases to avoid price escalation and to let students benefit from updated classrooms sooner.
Trustees approved the motion on a roll call vote. The district said additional phases will follow as classrooms reopen and as storage and implementation logistics allow.
