$5,000,000 - Potential value of City funded site improvements to the 5-6 & 7-8 campus.

$2,000,000 - Potential value of one year construction inflation on 5-6 & 7-8 project. If the District elected to proceed with design phases prior to bond election, the District has the opportunity to begin construction a year ahead of schedule, saving one year of construction cost inflation.
