Mike Nowlan, director of buildings and grounds for the East Maine School District No. 63 in northeastern Illinois, stated that the school district has completed a major upgrade of the windows, lighting, and mechanical systems at its seven schools, and the results have pleased parents, teachers, and students.
The K-8 public school district serves parts of the communities of Morton Grove, Niles, Glenview, and Des Plaines. This part of north central Cook County largely has been developed as a residential area, and school-age populations are stable.
