LINCOLNSHIRE ­­­­­­— Stevenson High School officials are planning to modernize the school’s signage at the entrance to the campus on Half Day Road.

The Stevenson School Board’s finance committee met Saturday with Cannon Design, Inc., to look at potential layouts for a new marquee sign. If built, it would replace the 14-year-old marker with a fresh look and would be an LED, moving display.

The School Board looked at the design during its Monday meeting, but took no vote. If the board approves a new sign, with an expected price tag of $70,000, it will need the blessing of the Lincolnshire Village Board.

In the past, the Village Board has been quite critical of lighted, moving signs. Trustees have expressed that they do not fit the ambiance of the area.
