Estimates to rebuild West Carrollton’s schools — all of which are more than 50 years old — have been between $125 million and $140 million, according to the school district.
A bond issue approved by voters would be necessary for the rebuilding program, school district officials have said.
A community forum on the possibility of constructing new buildings will be held May 8, according to the district. It is scheduled for 6 p.m. at West Carrollton High School, 5833 Student St.
