FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne Community Schools leaders are taking a closer look at $130 million dollars of improvements.
Phase 2 of the REPAIR FWCS plan calls for major projects totaling $107 million at ten schools including St. Joe Central Elementary and Northrop High School.
Other projects including roof work, window replacement and classroom security. New parent pick-up lanes are being designed for five elementary schools.
This comes as the school system is finishing up Phase 1 of a $119 million plan first approved in 2012.
