Gwinnett seeks $11.3 million for school projects

Gwinnett County school district officials want to spend $11.3 million on structural improvements to more than two dozen schools.

The work includes renovating one school and adding classrooms to two high schools and two middle schools and gymnasiums at five middle schools and four high schools. The projects are part of Gwinnett’s list of capital improvement plans that would begin during the 2015-16 school year.

School board members are scheduled to vote on the request at the board’s monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday. The meeting will be at the district’s headquarters, 437 Old Peachtree Road NW, Suwanee.
