If Batavia Unit District 101 school buildings got grades, none would be proud of its report card.
Three of the eight are in poor condition, according to a consultant s analysis. The rest are in fair shape. None are good or excellent.
Taking care of all the must and should do fix-up items would cost more than $86 million.
That s why a district committee says it would be more cost-effective to replace up to four elementary schools, and possibly eliminate one. But first, the committee is asking district residents what they think. Now it s time to get a little feedback, Superintendent Lisa Hichens told the Batavia City Council last week. Because whatever vision we have for our facilities in Batavia, they should reflect the values of the community.
