Washoe Co. School District Expected To Get 3 New Schools

Construction of two new middle schools is scheduled to start in December and groundbreaking for a new elementary school is planned in the spring - if all goes as expected for the Washoe County School District.

This Is Reno reports plans are dependent on a panel’s recommendation to the Board of Trustees this week. 

The panel is expected to recommend approval of $200 million for middle schools in Spanish Springs and Sun Valley, along with an elementary school in south Reno.
