Brunswick County Schools Plan $349.6 Million Bond Referendum for Facilities

Brunswick County Schools announced plans for a bond referendum totaling $349.6 million, which voters will decide on in the November election. The funding package includes $234 million for a new high school intended for 1,100 to 1,200 students, and $83 million for a new elementary school that could house up to 900 students. The new high school would be situated along the U.S. 17 corridor between North Brunswick High School and South Brunswick High School.

The district officials stated that the bond is necessary due to the county's growth of 181 students in the previous school year. The referendum also includes funding for various projects, such as replacing intercom systems, land purchases across the county, and a Governors Road extension to provide a second entrance and exit at Town Creek Middle School.
