One year ago, building improvements at the four schools in Northbrook District 28 were proposed as part of a 10-year facilities master plan. On Tuesday, voters were asked to decide whether $94.9 million in bonds will fund the plan — and they said yes, according to unofficial results.
Meanwhile, in District 27, over the past year, officials have collaborated on what they're calling "a community-driven plan for the future of our schools." This consensus plan is intended to establish a debt service extension base for the district at $2.655 million, which would result in an annual tax increase of $422 for the average homeowner.
