Posted4/26/2021 5:30 AM If Batavia Unit District 101 school buildings got grades, none would be proud of its report card. Three of the eight are in poor condition, according to a consultant's analysis. The rest are in fair shape. None are "good" or "excellent."
Taking care of all the "must" and "should do" fix-up items would cost more than $86 million. That's why a district committee says it would be more cost-effective to replace up to four elementary schools, and possibly eliminate one. But first, the committee is asking district residents what they think. "Now it's time to get a little feedback," Superintendent Lisa Hichens told the Batavia City Council last week. "Because whatever vision we have for our facilities in Batavia, they should reflect the values of the community."
