School Board members agreed informally on Monday to a $15.1 million slate of improvements to district middle schools that would be financed with money from last fall's property tax referendum. The district is eyeing another referendum or two to pay for work on its middle schools, but isn't set to hammer out those details until after a March 28 public forum.
Grand Forks-area voters approved a 10-mil property tax increase in September, and revenue from that tax is expected to start hitting the district's bank account beginning next month. School board members are set to begin figuring out how, exactly, they'll spend that money, which district staff expect will total about $2.5 million annually.
