Deerfield Public Schools District 109's referendum for nearly $87.8 million in school building bonds has passed, with nearly 63% of district voters supporting the proposal. The referendum was for $87,8 million to build two new schools and update and renovate another four. The district's middle schools will begin renovations this summer. Over 60% of the project costs will be funded through D109 resources, including fund balance and alternate bonds, with the remaining 40% funded through the referendum. This marks the district's first in two decades of public school referendations.
