​​​The Rockford School Board approved an addition and renovation work at Brookview Elementary School. ​Construction began in June 2016. The 6,000 square-foot addition, worth $2.3 million, includes a new gymnasium, kitchen, windows and chair lift to bring the school into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The addition will allow the existing shared gymnasium and cafeteria space to be solely used as a cafeteria with a full-service production kitchen on site. Paving work is complete.
