At a joint meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 1, the City of Spokane and Spokane Public Schools will consider placing two bond measures for voters to consider in November. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Convention Center in Centennial Ballroom 300 C/D.

The plan includes two proposals that would be voted on by citizens:
