A $705 million "Renewal of Construction" Levy is proposed in 2028.  It will fund school constructions needs for new student space, replacing ageing facilities, and reducing reliance on portables.  

This levy would provide funding to build critical classroom space across our district and addresses aging schools:

Elementary Schools: Rebuild and expand Rockwell Elementary, add two new elementary schools. 

Middle School: Rebuild or expand Evergreen Middle School

High School: Add additional high school capacity to Lake Washington area (TBD). Other: Add space for early learning in Juanita area.
