Menifee Union School District trustees Tuesday will discuss whether they will terminate an agreement with Riverside County and the district to help fund a joint-use gymnasium in Menifee.
In April 2006, trustees approved an agreement with Riverside County for construction of a gymnasium at Menifee Valley Middle School on Garbani Road.
The 11,000-square-foot gym was estimated to cost about $3 million at the time. The district would use the facility during school hours and the county would operate it after school and on weekends.
The agreement said the county and district would each contribute $750,000. With the county contribution, the district was eligible to apply for state funding, about $1.5 million.
But rising construction costs and additions to the design increased the total cost of the project to about $5 million said Dan Wood, assistant superintendent for business services.
