A third of Skokie 73.5 schools are over six decades old, and the newest building is over 30 years old. Our schools are deteriorating and face infrastructure challenges that need to be addressed to keep students safe and secure and prepare them for the future. That’s why we need your help.

Building 73.5 is a community-led public engagement program that brings families, staff, and community members together to address key facility challenges. Everyone is encouraged to participate and provide input to help develop a vision for the future of our schools!

Help us plan for the future by addressing challenges such as:

  • Safety and security updates
  • Aging and deteriorating buildings
  • Outdated classrooms
  • Changing learning needs of today’s students

Join us at a Community Engagement Session to learn more about these challenges and participate in interactive activities with fellow community members to help set priorities to move our schools forward.
