Speaker: Dr. Matt Zediker, Y115 School Superintendent

Topic: 2026 Referendum Information Facilities Master Plan

Y115 Superintendent, Dr. Matt Zediker, will showcase how Yorkville CUSD 115 is the heart of our community. However, the explosive growth has put Y115 in an unsustainable position. Historically, one of the lowest-funded districts in the entire state, Y115 does not have the ability to make the significant infrastructure investments needed to resolve the overcrowding challenges. The community collaborated on a plan to solve these challenges:

• Solve the overcrowding issues now and into the future
• Make the school buildings safer and more accessible
• Improve learning environments for all students

Come to the presentation and hear the proposed solution firsthand.
