Today IPSD District 204 announced that it has selected a site located near the intersection of Diehl and Book Roads in the far northwest corner of the district to be the new location for Metea Valley high school.  The selection comes after the district's/school board's preferred site at 75th and Commons Drive (better known as the Brach-Brodie estate) was abandoned due to ongoing legal battles regarding the land acquisition cost.

Along with the selection of the new site, the District 204 school boundary lines will now need to be re-worked.  This is sure to cause controversy, as boundary line discussions always do.

Whether or not the district/board has the legal right to apply the funding secured in the most recent referendum towards a new site which will require changing the boundary lines put forth prior to the referendum is one thing.  But whether it is good policy is certainly open for debate. 

Let's hear what you think about the ongoing saga of Metea Valley high school.  For more color, please visit the Naperville Sun coverage here or go directly to the school district's dedicated webpage regarding Metea Valley here.
