The Pasadena Unified School District board will discuss and vote on a $27.8 million contract for the construction of the long-awaited Sierra Madre Middle School.
The school board rejected moving forward on the project in January after the lowest bid it received was almost $32 million.
The district had anticipated that the construction should cost about $22 million, according to PUSD documents.
The new campus will have 22 classrooms, a computer lab, two science labs, a gym, library cafeteria and a parking area, according to plans (see the proposed site plan on the Measure TT Bond website).
PUSD staff is recommending that the board approve the contract.
