At its May board meeting, members decided to on a master plan that includes building a new PK-12 building at a site yet to be decided.
The plan calls for Olney Elementary, Lark Elementary and the 1939 building now known as Northwood Elementary School to be torn down. Northwood High School would be partially torn down with the common spaces including the gymnasium and auditorium maintained for continued community and student use.
The sports complex at the current site also will be kept; it includes a field house, track, and softball, baseball, soccer and football fields.
The district will likely ask voters in November to support the cost of the project.
A combined property tax and income tax is being considered, said Superintendent Greg Clark.
"That has yet to be determined but we're taking the steps to make that possible," he said.
The board has until Aug. 7 to get an issue on the November ballot.
