The version that will go before voters next month is a $136.5 million bond. Most of the funding would fund the construction of a new middle school, estimated at about $105 million. A little more than $31 million of the package would go to the construction of a new early childhood center. Wednesday evening’s meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the L.P.
