Episode Details

Indian Prairie School District 204 is rolling out a $420 million renovation spree—funded by a 2024 bond—set to transform nearly every school by 2032. To keep property taxes flat, they’re extending an existing tax, and this summer’s work at Waubonsie and Neuqua high schools is just the beginning. Waubonsie’s getting a full stadium, cafeteria, and classroom overhaul, while Neuqua’s new additions will finally bring freshmen back to campus. Safety is a top priority, with secure entryways being installed at 11 schools this year, requiring all visitors to check in at the main office. Even though some projects—like Waubonsie’s cafeteria—won’t be done until late 2024 or 2027, the district is turning construction into a learning experience, with student interns and guided tours. This is a once-in-a-generation upgrade designed to give students modern, safer campuses for decades to come, with major bond issuances planned for 2027 and 2029.
