If approved, the referendum would not directly impact Rec Station. However, this year, by working cooperatively with our partners at School District 205 to secure additional space, hiring more staff, and reconfiguring daily programming, Park District staff were able to increase the maximum number of participants at all eight elementary schools for the morning and after school sessions. This increase resulted in a higher enrollment of 120 more students compared to the 2023-24 school year. Staff will continue to investigate how to further increase the maximum number at each school.
