The Daily Herald reports today that Indian Prairie School District 204 Administrators will recommend building the new Metea Valley High School “on 87 acres on the east side of Eola Road, bordered on the north by the Illinois Prairie Path, at the northern end of the district.” The land would cost about $16.5 million - about half of the almost $31 million that the originally planned Brach-Brodie site came in on - and about as much as the district originally thought the Brach-Brodie land would cost.
The new site best meets the following criteria according to the Administrators:
“1. The district needs the third high school and seventh middle school based on current enrollment and space needs.
2. The total cost will not exceed the approved referendum, interest, and other identified project revenues of approximately $146,240,000 for purchase of the land and construction of the school.
3. The third high school will be comparable to the existing high schools (i.e. pool, auditorium, stadium, etc.).
4. The high school and middle school should open in August 2009.”
