Some details are still uncertain.
The board has included approximate locations for buildings in the ballot but hopes to name exact sites before the Feb. 26 election. It's undetermined what any of these schools would look like. Board President Michael Yura has said each school will create a design committee composed of teachers, parents and students to work with the architects. What the bond does promise is new high schools and middle schools on both ends of the county. It would share the plot with the new Cheat Lake Middle.
