WATCH: Virtual Tour Of Renovated Holland Middle School

The Council Rock School Board on Thursday approved the construction of a new middle school to replace the current Newtown Middle School, and also approved the expansion and renovation of the current Holland Middle School.

The approved bids came in nearly $5 million less than budgeted.

If you're wondering what these projects will look like, check out the virtual tours posted to the district's YouTube channel.

Both projects are scheduled to begin in Spring 2016 and finish by the start of the 2018-19 school year, according to information from the district. When the projects are complete, Richboro Middle School will close as a middle school and "an entire K-12 student redistricting is scheduled to occur," the district said.

"Aligning redistricting with the completion of these middle school projects ensures minimal transitions for our students."

The total current budgeted cost of the combined projects is $100,818,060.

"This figure includes $4,674,205 as contingency funds for unexpected expenses, which could ultimately further reduce the overall cost of the projects," according to the district.
