The high school would be $183 million; the career and technical education center, $70 million; technology updates, $15 million; Priority one life-cycle needs, $52.8 million; and Priority 2 life-cycle needs, $122.3 million.
Priority 1 are projects that should be addressed immediately in the next one to two years, the board recap said.
