District 117 is looking at the options for both Washington and Murrayville/Woodson Elementary Schools as both buildings are in need of continued repair, or event replacement.
Superintendent Steve Ptacek says a combination of federal stimulus monies and an unexpectedly higher tax revenue means discussion of the potential for future projects will happen sooner than anyone expected coming into this year.
During the April school board meeting, Ptacek reviewed Phase 3 of the Vision 117 plan for updating educational buildings in the district. Phase 1 lead to the renovation of what is now the Jacksonville Middle School, and Phase two lead to the renovations at both Lincoln and South Elementary schools.
