Facility Deficits Churchville MS Parking Lot
Safety and Security The configuration of Field School’s main entrance poses a security concern. A visitor could potentially access classrooms on all levels of the building instead of entering the office. Wight may have better photo of secure entrance Add District photo of entrance without vestibule
All Day Kindergarten One of District 205’s Key Performance Indicators is all students reading on level by grade 3. Of our benchmark unit districts, Elmhurst is one of the few to not offer All Day Kindergarten.

F OCUS 205 F INDINGS Facilitating Team Recommendations (April 7, 2017): Specific pricing and impact details should be attached to several scenarios which would support and sustain excellent public education in Elmhurst, including an All Day Kindergarten feasibility study and pressing facility needs. The Board and Administration should investigate funding sources to support critical and ongoing facility needs. The Administration should begin working to develop a Facilities Master Plan which addresses the needs of Lincoln and Field elementary schools in the short term.
