District 203 tweaks timeline for capital improvements
Naperville School District 203 is tweaking the timeline for several projects included in a long-range capital improvement plan the board of education previously approved. The change-up involves classroom renovations for Family and Consumer Science (FACS) and Project Lead the Way (PLTW) programs.
The board of education on Tuesday approved making the FACS and PLTW changes at Madison Junior High School in the 2025-26 school year, which is bumping it up a year, and making the improvements at Kennedy Junior High School in the 2026-27 school year, which is a one-year delay from prior plans.
Several reasons were cited for the change-up, including a top-down look at facilities needs at the Kennedy building, which extend beyond the FACS and PLTW improvements.
