Last night, the School Board unanimously voted to place a proposed $400 million school construction bond on November 3, 2026, ballot. 

The unanimous vote reflects the Board's confidence in the district's long-range facilities planning and its commitment to providing safe, modern learning environments for today's students and future generations. 

If approved by voters, the bond would be invested in schools across our district by: 

• Improving student safety and security 
• Replacing and modernizing aging schools 
• Replacing portable classrooms with permanent classrooms 
• Expanding Career and Technical Education (CTE) learning spaces 
• Upgrading critical building systems and technology infrastructure 
• Improving playgrounds, fields, courts, and other outdoor learning spaces

Funding these projects requires a partnership between the state and local community. Washington State does not fund local school construction. Instead, school districts rely on voter-approved local bonds to build and modernize schools. Once a bond is approved, districts can qualify for additional state school construction assistance, helping stretch local tax dollars further.
