FQC Provides Support to Glen Ellyn District 41 as Board Eyes Referendum to Fund Addition at Hadley

Frederick Quinn Corporation (FQC) has been providing support to the Glen Ellyn School District 41 for their upcoming referedum vote this April 2017.   The Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board of Education is putting a referendum on the ballot that would build an addition at Hadley Junior High School and make improvements to that school and the district's elementary schools at a cost of almost $24 million.

As proposed, the referendum would fund a $9.2 million two-story addition to replace the 10 portable classrooms at Hadley. The project also would pay for $9.9 million worth of infrastructure work at Hadley and the district's elementary schools, a $3 million project to renovate the elementary and junior high restrooms for Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility, and a $1.2 million project to enlarge Hadley's cafeteria to allow for 100 additional students.
