Pending approval of the Grand Forks School Board, a vote on whether to build a new Valley Middle School is recommended for May 16th.
That’s according to Grand Forks Superintendent Dr. Terry Brenner, who said the Board will take it up at a meeting Monday night.
The current Valley School is nearly 70 years old.
A survey late last year showed that 73 percent of respondents said they would support a bond referendum to raze the existing school and build a new $55 million dollar Valley – plus a $6 million dollar central kitchen.
Renovating the existing Valley building has been estimated at nearly $46 million dollars.
It’s estimated the new build would cost the owner of a $100,000 dollar home around $79.47 a year.
