A month ago, the District 220 Board of Education somewhat ceremoniously announced, “…the demolition of the property located at 36 E. Dundee Road, which sits directly adjacent to BMS-Prairie and the Early Learning Center,” (See, “220 Board of Education wins ‘Brilliance in Timing’ award”).
Originally slated for completion, “…no later than December 20th,” work began today, December 26th, on the demotion project (as seen above).
We’ll likely never know why the Board wisely decided to postpone work on the project until students, parents and teachers were away from the two campuses for Winter Break. We’ll likely not know why the schedule change was not politicized either (though we have an idea).
What we do know is we’re pleased the 220 Board (or staff) exercised a modicum of common sense by causing the least disruption of classroom time possible by delaying the work until today.
