Last Push for Roosevelt Exterior Project

In a matter of days, the fate of the Roosevelt Exterior Project will likely be decided. The DRB will rule on the project this Thursday, February 19th with the Village Trustees voting the following Monday, February 23rd.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

Our Board of Education voted 6-0 in favor of this plan and all three PTOs back this plan. And yet the project is at risk. Please click HERE to add your name (and your spouses) to demonstrate support for this important project. Thursday’s DRB meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at Willard Auditorium. The Village Board Meeting will be Monday, February 23rd at 7:00 p.m. at Willard Auditorium.
