Here is a list of projects as well as a tentative project completion date:
*The most immediate project taking place will be at Milne Grove starting this Friday evening (3/21/25) as students and staff leave for spring break. This will involve the abatement of asbestos ceiling tiles in all classrooms at Milne Grove and floor tiles in the MG west stairwell as well as the KG classrooms that will get new HVAC units installed this summer. The KG floor tiles will only involve a few located in the space by the windows where the new univents will be installed.
With the projects outlined above, we are doing our best to have as little disruption to the current school year as possible, however, there will be some minor changes when we return from spring break, specifically at Milne Grove. Those changes will include:
For our Milne Grove families, please look for additional information regarding updates on the morning drop-off as well as some visitor parking changes.

D91 Board Approves April 4th Ballot Question
At the January District 91 Board Meeting, the Board of Education voted to add a question on the April 4th election ballot that asks the D91 taxpayers to support a $2.5 million bond that will be specifically used to:
This is a different approach than what was on the November ballot. The April 4th ballot question is asking for the taxpayers to approve a $2.5 million bond that would replace the current bond payment from the junior high addition that is to be paid off this year. By replacing the current bond payment, there would be no tax increase (from School District 91) and the proceeds of the bond will fund the projects listed above. The bond would be paid off in seven years, with the final payment being made in the year 2031.
Please continue to watch for more information that will be shared regarding the April 4th ballot question.
