An area school had a chance to show off in front of lawmakers Monday.
The Illinois School for the Deaf in Jacksonville has a number of construction projects underway or completed thanks to state funding.
Those projects include a renovated high school building, health center and gym.
The state school houses 280 students.
Now they'll be able to swim in the school's very own pool.
Superintendent Joan Forney says, "They've really missed having a swimming pool. We've had to go to different places to swim like the Y-M-C-A or the Illinois school for the vision impaired. Now we're going to stay here at I-S-D."
Illinois committed seven and a half million dollars to help I-S-D pay for multiple construction projects.
