Middle school survey results to be discussed

In a special meeting scheduled for noon today in the administration building, Joplin R-8 Board of Education members will review results of the middle school survey that was recently sent to area patrons.
In the survey, patrons were asked whether they would support building a new middle school and remodeling North Middle School for an estimated $26 million, or if they would rather build two middle schools and remodel North for an estimated $42.5 million.
The results of the survey will be released following the meeting, Superintendent Dr. Jim Simpson told the Joplin Daily.
