Carroll Ushers in New Maple School

NORTHBROOK, Ill. – State Rep. Jonathan Carroll, D-Northbrook, recently toured the new Maple School Facility to welcome returning students and look ahead to better education for local students.

“Our schools are the brightest gems in the community, and teach our students to reach their best potential,” said Carroll. “I am an advocate for public schools and making sure that our families, schools and educators have every possible resource they need to help guide our students toward success.”

Carroll attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Maple School’s newest facility and, alongside other community leaders, welcomed new students to the school. Before its June demolition this year, community residents approved a measure to rebuild the school to reflect growing population trends and better fit the needs of students, teachers and school administrators. The new school reopened earlier this month.

During his time in Springfield, Carroll has supported measures that strengthened local public schools like this year’s balanced budget that increases state funding to schools by an additional $375 million dollars.
