Newton School's Price Tag Could Top $200 Million

NEWTON, Mass. (WBZ) ― It's already the most expensive school in state history, and the price tag for Newton North keeps rising.

The project to renovate the high school has already cost $186 million, and officials in Newton said it could eventually top $200 million.

The discoveries of asbestos and an underground ledge are partially to blame for the expense.

Last year, voters first approved $151 million to build the 400,000 square-foot school. The proposed design includes a glass-walled cafeteria, a 2,000-seat football stadium, two theatres and two large science labs.

Go to Gundpartnership.com to check out the proposed design for Newton North High School. Once on the site, click on "Ways of Learning," select "Libraries and Classrooms" and click the second to last tab on the page.
