In 2013, the district closed two campuses, Green Bay and South. In 2014, it also closed the Novak-King Sixth Grade Center, followed by the closure of Yeager in 2017.[3] These closures followed the district’s earlier decision to close Marjorie P.

District 187 has faced financial challenges dating back to the 1980s and 1990s. In 1993, the Board of Education voted to close the district.[5]
