Building improvements at one high school, Albert Einstein, and two middle schools,

The school board is expected to take up the plan on Nov. 17. If the board approves Weast's recommendations, they will then go to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan (D), who will issue his plan in January.

Final adoption by the County Council would come in May 2006.
