Within the $93.6 million bond, if approved, the following projects would be funded including expanding the second junior high to full capacity during original construction, constructing an additional game field for the two junior high schools, constructing elementary number five and six, renovating both Lacy Elementary School and Godwin Elementary School, replacing and widening Bois D’ Arc, working on concrete drives and additional parking, installing turf baseball and softball fields and purchasing school sites for an additional junior high, a combination junior high and high school site and two more elementary school sites.
