District 58 to Host Listening Session on Facility Improvements
The session will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday at Longfellow Center to discuss a possible addition to Pierce Downer, as well as district-wide life-safety updates.
District 58 will host a listening session for the community on Thursday to discuss its overall facilities improvement plans.
Operations and Maintenance projects proposed to be completed district-wide consist primarily of asphalt and carpeting replacements, and HVAC and fire alarm upgrades. The district also has begun preliminary planning on a possible addition to alleviate overcrowding at Pierce Downer School.
The comprehensive report from consultant Wight and Co., presented to the board this past spring, identified needs, recommended construction projects and improvement options for the district’s operational buildings, and offered conceptual budget costs. The board has discussed several potential funding options to continue addressing the district’s capital needs, and the plan is to begin work on some of the top-priority projects this summer.
