The Dubuque Community School Board members will meet Monday evening and members are expected to consider approving language for a petition to call for a $70 million general obligation bond which would help fund construction of a new middle school at the current site of Washington Middle School.
The estimated cost for a new middle school is $121.9 million which would be paid through the bond and $51.9 million in borrowing against future revenues from the district’s 1-cent sales tax fund.
If voters approve in the November election the bond would raise the district’s property tax levy rate by an estimated $1 per $1,000 of taxable value.
The board will meet at 5:30pm Monday at the Forum on Chaney Road.
