Springfield (Ill.) district looks at plan to consolidate three elementary schools
March 18, 2022
Constructing a new elementary would enable the district to consolidate student populations that now attend Hazel Dell, Laketown and Southern View elementary schools.
The new building would take the place of three existing elementary schools, reports The State Journal-Register.
Once a new facility is completed, the district would close Hazel Dell,Laketown and Southern View elementary schools.
Funding for the building project will come from the 1% sales tax that Sangamon County voters approved in November 2018. The tax revenue must be spent on facility upgrades, construction, safety improvements or retirement of building bonds.
