Northbrook/Glenview D30 Board of Education
Parents, residents voice support for new Maple School
Lauren Kiggins
Freelance Reporter
District 30 parents
flocked to the Thursday,
March 9 board meeting in
support of the pending facility
bond referendum to
build a new Maple School.
The referendum, set for
the April 4 ballot, requests
$36.3 million from taxpayers
to aid the Maple construction.
For each homeowner,
this translates to
approximately $47.55 per
$1,000 of property taxes
paid for up to 20 years.

The remaining $5.2 million
needed for construction
will be sourced from the
D30 fund balance.
If the ballot does not pass,
the District will likely address
Maple’s needs through
$15 million in health and
life safety maintenance to
the current structure, with
funding obtained from $5.2
million from the D30 fund
balance, $10.7 million in
debt service bonds and $20
per every $1,000 of property
taxes paid per household.
D30 officials have stressed
that the latter option would
be more costly to the community
because the building
will need approximately
$10 million in maintenance
over the next 30 years. A
new middle school, on the
other hand, would reduce
the need for major capital
outlay for an estimated 30
years.
D30 parent and referendum
campaign committee
member Pat Dunbar
echoed the inefficiency of
repairing the current Maple
School.
“I am very proud that you
made the decision to move
forward on the referendum
because that’s something
that this district truly needs
to address and needs to address
now,” Dunbar said.
“Kicking the can down
the road, waiting to make
the decision later, is going
to make it more difficult,
more costly, and it’s going
to cheat the kids in our district
that deserve the quality
of education that our
community expects and
they should have. ... I will

Jeff St. John, an 18-
year D30 resident and a
member of the proposal’s
citizens task force, also
underlined the value of the
pending project.
“My daughter, who is
currently at Maple School,
told me the other day that,
‘Dad, everybody already
knows that Maple is in bad
shape.’ And I said, ‘I don’t
know if that’s really true or
not,’” St. John said. “Obviously

room right here know that
and understand that, and I
think it’s important for the
whole community to know
that and understand that.
... I think it’s an incredible
investment in our community
and our kids, and
what better way to cast a
vote and pay tax dollars
for something that’s right
in our backyard.”
“I feel like as a community
we’re really on the
cusp of something special
and I’m excited to be a part
of it,” D30 parent Joanna
Kaplan added. “I just hope
the community listens to
the board’s recommendation:
that they go out in
support of this on April 4.”
No one spoke against
the referendum during the
meeting.
Although the focus has
been on Maple, Wescott
and Willowbrook schools
haven’t been forgotten by
the board. Board members
recently approved
two projects for Wescott
and Willowbrook: $66,300
in exterior tuck-pointing
at Wescott and $229,785
in door replacements at
both schools. Furthermore,
$878,080 worth of health
and life safety updates to
Wescott and Willowbrook
will be executed in the coming
years as part of the District’s
Master Facility Plan.
Superintendent Dr. Brian
Wegley — amid the
proposed mass spending
throughout D30 — assured
board and community
members that there are
not any other large-scale
projects within the district
planned in the short or
long term.
