The referendum addresses spending $183 million for security improvements and school consolidation.
Lori Blakeslee, GBAPS Director of Communications and Public Relations, said $33 million would address security enhancements, especially at school entrances.
$150 million are for school consolidation efforts, which would include structural additions to schools, renovations and maintenance needs.
The district has offered a list of the projects that could be funded through the referendum.
At Thursday's meeting, people can answer questions such as which projects they support the most and what are expected challenges in each project.
"Do they feel like we're looking at the right things, do they feel like we missed something," Blakeslee said. "This would be an opportunity to advocate for that."
The meeting will be held at MacArthur elementary school at 6 p.m. and a tour of the school will available at 5:30 p.m.
