The officials want to reroof and improve the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in about 20 schools. School board members are scheduled to vote on the proposed work at a meeting Thursday evening.

Gwinnett officials wrote in memos that the companies recommended to do the work were the lowest bidders for each project.
