Downers Grove is one of the last districts to start the school year in the Chicago area.
Having the first day of school on a Friday is different. The morning drop off can be emotional, whether it’s a veteran or the very first time, for children and parents.
The school year was scheduled to start Wednesday, but excessive heat forced a delayed start. Many buildings in the district don’t have air conditioning. SUBSCRIBE TO FOX 32 ON YOUTUBE The school does have something to celebrate, a brand-new playground, enjoyed in more reasonable temperatures. Kids couldn’t wait.
Principal Tracey Ratner says the district and PTA raised money for the inclusive playground. They held a ribbon cutting ceremony earlier this week. The structure is closer to the school and includes a separate area for pre-school children. Air conditioning is in the future for Downers Grove Schools. A referendum was passed approving 179 million dollars in improvements. The work starts next summer.
