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.
