The plans include leveling the cafeteria and library to improve flow, adding a second-floor bridge, and upgrading science and art labs. The goal is to move away from outdated layouts toward more collaborative, secure learning environments.
Fiscal Note: Board members noted the project is currently saving $6 million and is moving faster than originally anticipated, with construction work scheduled to begin during the 2026 winter break. Full completion is targeted for the 2028-2029 school year.
As these referendum funds are deployed for large-scale capital improvements, residents should continue to monitor the district's ability to deliver these modernizations on time and within the reported budget. #IPSD204 https://meetingwatch.org/il/indian-prairie-204/school-board/2026-06-08/
At the June 8 Board of Education meeting, Indian Prairie School District 204 officials presented a comprehensive renovation plan for Hill Middle School. The project, which aims to address long-standing facility neglect, includes significant architectural changes such as modernized science labs, updated art rooms, and improved security through consolidated administrative areas. Key details shared include a construction timeline that sees 'enabling work' beginning during the 2026 winter and 2027 spring breaks, with a full completion target for the 2028-2029 school year. Notably, board members highlighted that the project is currently tracking $6 million in savings and is moving ahead of its original schedule. While the board expressed strong support for the project, these renovations are being funded through taxpayer referendum dollars. It is vital for residents to remain engaged and hold the district accountable to ensure these significant capital investments are managed efficiently and that the promised improvements are delivered as planned. https://meetingwatch.org/il/indian-prairie-204/school-board/2026-06-08/ #MeetingWatch #IndianPrairie204IL
