More details on this bond measure would be nice. One new elementary school would be built at Redmond Ridge, but where would the other 2 be built? A new STEM high school on the west side of the district - where? An international high school on the east side - where? Would there be a need for additions at Eastlake and LWHS if Juanita is being rebuilt and 2 high schools are being added? Five of 8 schools will be modernized - which 5 will be modernised and what about the other 3? Does modernization mean a remodel or will they tear the schools down and rebuild from the ground up? Why tear-down/rebuild 5 schools when they could spread the money out and update all 8? How much money will be budgeted for each school?

$755 million (or $.75 BILLION) is a lot of money and yet they barely explain how the money will be spent. There was a committee that spent a lot of time on this. The lack of detail in the press release is alarming.

  1. Even though this was unsigned and anonymous I found it noteworthy to post for my readers. This reader asks some good questions and dives deeper than the Advisory Panel. We deserve as much! Does anyone have any answers or thoughts?
