The Grand Forks School District is readying a survey for residents to respond to the idea of building a new Valley Middle School. The project would carry a $55 million dollar price-tag plus build a new central kitchen for another $6 million.
The district is eyeing a referendum on the bond issue in the spring of 2023. School board members got a first look at the survey last night (Monday). Kyle Kvamme of ICON architects says the goal is to have it ready for distribution in early November.
Kvamme says renovating the existing school building would cost nearly $46 million dollars.
It’s estimated the new build would cost the owner of a $100,000 dollar home around $79.47 cents a year.
A public input meeting on the issue is tentatively scheduled at Valley Middle School on November 16th.
