Join us at one of our upcoming public engagement sessions to discuss capital improvements at three of our four middle schools! Details below:
After completing much of the infrastructure work needed in our elementary and high school spaces, we now need to address the significant improvements needed at three of our four middle schools: Franklin, Monroe, and Edison.
These aging 1960s buildings need to be modernized to provide safer and more secure buildings with learning spaces that support the rigorous curriculum our community expects and deserves.
The exciting news is our district’s fiscal responsibility has given us a unique opportunity to modernize our middle schools while giving our taxpayers property tax relief in the bond and interest portion of the tax levy.
As a community, we worked together throughout 2023 to determine a plan and nearly 1,300 community members took part in this process. Join our upcoming public engagement sessions to hear about our updated plan and provide your feedback.

📣Final Internet Update📣
We are happy to share that the internet has been restored in all District 200 buildings as of approximately 7 p.m. tonight.
We want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked through the phone and internet outages today.
📣Internet Outage Update as of 4:30 p.m.📣
All District 200 buildings are still without internet as of 4:30 p.m. on Monday, April 29.
Late this afternoon, Comcast was able to identify that a fiber was physically cut, causing this internet outage, which has impacted many school districts across the state. Comcast is still trying to locate where the fiber was cut. In the meantime, Comcast is working to reroute connections to a new path to restore internet access. At this point, they have not given us an ETA on when we will have internet access.
We will keep you updated as we learn more information.
📣Phone/Internet Outage Update as of 11:40 a.m.📣
The phones are back up and running at all District 200 buildings. At this time, the internet is still out across the District due to a regional Comcast outage.
We will provide another update when the internet has been restored. We want to thank you for your patience and understanding.
📣IMPORTANT MESSAGE📣
All District 200 buildings are experiencing an internet outage. Additionally, about half of our buildings also don’t have phone service. These issues are due to a regional Comcast outage.
We are working diligently to try to resolve these issues as soon as possible. We will provide an update as soon as we have one.
