The PBL school board has approved a resolution to place a referendum question on the November ballot. Voters will be asked to support a property tax increase over the next 25 years to fund the demolition of the district’s oldest school, PBL Eastlawn School.

It also includes construction of an addition to Clara Peterson Elementary School to house Eastlawn’s third- through fifth-graders.

The Paxton Record reports the project carries a price-tag of $31,428,620 — and includes renovation work to Clara Peterson Elementary School, to allow for “21st Century learning” environments.
