Superintendent J.R. Hartley said the district is faced with the twin demands of skyrocketing enrollment and dwindling space for administrative offices. In an attempt to fmd a solu¬ tion for cramped administrative office space, school officials met last week with representa¬ tives of Union Special to take a look at the vacant 12,000- square-foot Technical Training Center, at 12050 Fourth St. "Union Special is bigger than what we need now, but it would be a solution for quite some time," Harley said. "The build¬ ing has demountable walls and would be easily adaptable to our needs." The 1,500 square-foot admin¬ istrative center at 12017 Mill St. houses three offices, a meeting room and two restrooms. Hartley said the School Board has not decided whether to lease or purchase the building from Union Special, which is for sale for $695,000. Before reaching any decision on the Union Special site. Hartley said the district needs answers to two concerns. The sprinkler system at the Technical Center is currently connected to a private water system, but must be connected to the village water system. And limited parking space is less than what is required. "We can get by for another year. But for the following year we anticipate a big concem," Hartley said. "Desperate people do desperate things. It's clear we need more space." If administrative offices do move, the district's transporta¬ tion department would use the Mill Street building. The issue of classroom space, on the other hand, will be more expensive and difficult to tackle. Hartley said the School Board will likely recommend putting a referendum for a new school on the November ballot. The dead¬ line for placing the referendum on the ballot is Aug. 31.
