Plans include the redevelopment of four secondary schools, delivering a Learning Hub and providing accommodation for children with additional support needs.
Property issues will also be addressed at four primary schools.
In March 2014, the council agreed a ten year capital investment strategy to provide funding for phase one of the project.
It was also agreed that phase two should be planned in conjunction with the first phase.
