Granite School District will tackle a major overhaul of its buildings should voters approve its $238 million bond proposal on Tuesday.

The 10-year bond would not only rebuild 14 Granite schools, including Cyprus and Skyline High Schools, but also pay for major remodel projects on 17 other facilities across the sprawling district.

The price tag for taxpayers: a $15 per month property tax increase for the average home in the district, valued at $259,000.

“We believe this is the best way to give students every opportunity to succeed,” said Terry Bawden, president of Granite School District’s Board of Education.
