District 200 school board approves referendum for new Jefferson preschool building.
It will be up to Wheaton taxpayers to decide whether they want to pay an extra $19 to $51 a year to rebuild a preschool that hasn't seen an update in over 50 years. The District 200 school board on Wednesday voted 6-1 to put a referendum question on the spring election ballot, proposing to issue $17.6 million in bonds to rebuild Jefferson Early Childhood Center. The question reads: Shall the Board of Education of Community Unit School District Number 200, DuPage County, Illinois, build and equip a new early childhood center to replace the existing Jefferson Early Childhood Center, improve the site thereof and issue bonds of said School District to the amount of $17,600,000 for the purpose of paying the costs thereof?

The District 200 Board of Education tonight will decide on a ballot question related to plans to rebuild Jefferson Early Childhood Center.
The District 200 Board of Education tonight will vote on a referendum question asking taxpayers to support an increase to pay for a new Jefferson Early Childhood Center. The board last month reviewed two revised and less expensive concepts for a new school to replace the 1958 structure that currently houses students at 130 N. Hazelton Ave. The $17.6 million, 59,000-square-foot concept is less expensive than the originally proposed $29 million and $18.3 million projects, and eliminates plans for district administrative offices and the additional parking they would require. There are plenty of ways to keep up with Wheaton news: The board agreed last month that it wants to issue bonds for the entire project, which would result in up to $51 …

District 200 board members agree they want to use bonds to rebuild Jefferson Early Childhood Center, adding $16 to $42 to taxpayers' bills. The board will vote on a final referendum question in January.
District 200 Board of Education members agreed Wednesday they want to put a referendum on the spring ballot asking voters if they'd support the use of bonds to fund the entire Jefferson Early Childhood Center project. The project, estimated to cost up to $18.3 million, would mean increased tax payments of $16 to $42, bond counsel Bob Lewis told board members Wednesday. After community forums and a survey on the district’s plan to rebuild Jefferson, district staff and Legat architects revised a $29 million concept combining the school and district administrative offices to address residents’ concerned. Patrick Brosnan of Legat Architects presented two new designs Wednesday that would cost about $18.3 million. (Look for Patch story on new …
