The Washoe County School District is hoping to break ground on three schools as early as December. The WC-1 Capital Funding Protection Committee voted 9-1 Thursday to approve $200 million to build the first schools funded directly with money from the WC-1 sales tax increase. But getting the money approved didn’t come easy. The oversight committee raised questions over the estimated price tags attached to the projects. The middle schools, in Spanish Springs and Sun Valley, were originally estimated to cost $55 million each. New estimates put the projects at $80 and $85 million respectively. The elementary school, slated for South Meadows, went from $23 million to an estimated $34.4 million.
