Edifice Complex at Work

In our report, Edifice Complex: Where has all the Money Gone we looked at the fastest growing cost for school districts, and what is driving property taxes higher—school construction. A few recent news stories capture the Edifice Complex at work:

• New Elizabethtown elementary school that will cost $29.7 million
• $62 million for a new Bethlehem middle school
• High school renovation and addition in the Centennial School District costing $79 million

For more on school spending and the Edifice Complex attend our Policies and Principles Luncheon on April 29.
