Plans to renovate Fries (freeze) Middle School finally went out to bid this month.
The school was shutdown last summer because of a mold problem forcing students to share space at two other schools.
The cost for the project is estimated at 750-thousand dollars.
School officials say if bids come-in over a quarter million dollars, the plans will have to go back to the drawing board.
