Woodbridge, Va — At least 13 schools in Prince William County will receive upgrades if the Board of Supervisors agrees to sell $51.2 million in bonds.
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday on selling the general obligation bonds.
The agenda item has a good chance of passing, say officials, as county staff has already suggested selling the bonds at the request of the Prince William County School Board.
Schools in the Potomac Communities to be upgraded:
Potomac Senior High School
$7.65 million will be spent on a 55,000 square foot addition to the existing building, which will include 30 new classrooms, renovations to the gym, locker rooms, cafeteria and administrative areas.
The school opened in 1981, has 1,700 students and 100 teachers.
Swans Creek Elementary School
$4.8 million will be spent on a 10,200 square foot addition to the existing building, which will include six new classrooms, additional resource space, a renovated physical education area and a renovated clinic.
The school opened in September 2001.
Westridge Elementary School
$4.1 million will be spent on a 13,250 square foot addition to the existing building, which will include six new classrooms, additional resource space, a renovated physical education area and a renovated clinic.
School bus parking lot expansion at Gar-Field High School
$1 million will be spent on expanding the school bus parking lot at Gar-Field Senior High School, which will include the construction of new toilet facilities.
School officials say any left over money will go to fund new school projects.
