Cedar Rapids weighs $117 million bond plan for school upgrades
The district proposes a $117 million bond to renovate Roosevelt Creative Corridor and Wilson Middle School to an elementary, address Kennedy High and other facilities, and shift resources from maintenance to modernized classrooms. If approved, renovations could save about $6.48 million annually and cut tax impact versus a larger $211 million plan. The Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance plans a 500-person poll before the May 12 vote to gauge voter support.
