The PSAT/NMSQT Testing for juniors was on Wednesday and we appreciate the respect and cooperation from our non-juniors while their peers were testing. On Friday, October 19th, the Hinsdale South and Hinsdale Central football game was not about winning or losing, it was about celebrating our collective pride in D86. Our pictures below tell the entire story! We wish our football team the best of luck in the first round playoff game tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. Prairie Ridge High School in Crystal Lake. Have a great weekend! Sincerely, Arwen Pokorny Lyp Principal #SouthPride From the left: Central Principal, William Walsh, South Principal Arwen Pokorny Lyp and Superintendent Dr. Law attended the football game as one unified team.

NOVEMBER 2018 REFERENDUM At the August 6 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Board voted to approve the resolution as presented to place on the November 6, 2018 ballot a proposition for school building bonds in the amount of $166,426,514. Before the vote on the proposition for school building bonds, representative Bob Lewis from the

3 District s municipal advisor PMA discussed with the Board the bond issuance for the proposed amount and the estimated tax impact from it. In the financing scenario the Board indicated that it preferred, the tax impact for a home with a fair market value of $500,000 is estimated to be $301 per year if the Board sold bonds as they were needed for construction. For reference, the median home value in District 86 is $461,200. A tax calculator is on this website for people to more precisely determine their individual estimated tax impact. Hover over the November 2018 Referendum tab to find it. Sample renderings can be found on the "Sample Renderings" tab on the left. These sample renderings from the District s architect ARCON depict what the spaces could look like after renovation. Underneath the sample renderings are photos of the spaces in their current state. So far, the renderings that have been completed are as follows: the Hinsdale South library, a new Hinsdale Central fine arts entrance, pre-engineering spaces for both schools as well as the current ADA circulation at Hinsdale Central. More renderings will be added after they are completed. On August 6, the Board also gave Administration direction to proceed with the referendum education campaign.
