The Knoxville School District will receive bids for its middle school construction project today. Superintendent Cassi Pearson says that final packages will be determined, and final plans will be closer to completion after this process.

“We’re really excited that we’ll be doing bid openings for our middle school project. We’ve got quite a few of our major packages that will be unveiled at how much the bids come in at. Some area schools just recently had their bid letting and came in well under budget. So we’re hopeful that our project is going to look good and our budget is also going to be maintained or look a little healthier than we anticipate. But we’ll know more after Thursday.”

The middle school project is expected to break ground this spring. Hear a recap of Monday’s school board meeting on today’s Let’s Talk Knoxville.
