At their meeting Tuesday, April 13, about 20 members of the Grand Forks K-8 Campus Predesign Committee got a chance to design a new school – on paper anyway.
The committee, split into groups of about four or five, tackled the task of designing a school that could accommodate up to 1,100 children, in grades K-8, on the site where Valley Middle School stands.
The Grand Forks School Board is proposing to consolidate West, Wilder and Winship elementary schools and Valley Middle School into the new building, a project estimated to cost $70.5 million. It s part of the $86 million bond referendum election June 22.
