Mill Street Elementary

Mill Street Elementary School is among the largest elementary schools in the district.  It has significant space needs.  Next to Naperville Central, Mill Street is a major focus of this proposed facilities option. Some of these classroom needs may be alleviated by the creation of an Early Childhood Center in the Huntington Estates subdivision, but many more issues remain. Aside from the classroom needs, the core facility of Mill is badly outdated. If Mill Street is to be a viable educational facility for the foreseeable future, then several fundamental needs must be addressed.  These needs can best be summarized as follows. 

The current Mill Street Elementary School has:

• The lowest square foot per student, necessitating that instruction be done in hallways
• Safety issues involving both traffic and parking that requires students to walk between buses
• Inadequate library to serve the needs of student population
• Inadequate space for increased technology needs
• Offices too small for the administration of the building
• Gym facilities inadequate for both physical education and lunch facilities
• Lack of space for resource teachers, which are currently housed in mobiles
• $2.7 million worth of ongoing repairs of existing structure necessary within next 10 years
