In Fall 2024, the district formed a Facilities Use Committee made up of parents, staff, community leaders, administrators, and school board members to guide the development of a long-range plan to assess our current school buildings and plan for the future of education. To assist us in this process, we have hired ALSC Architects out of Spokane to help us with the Scope and Survey. In Washington State, a Scope and Survey is a formal assessment of school facilities that is crucial for qualifying for many Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and state grants. This work will help us make informed decisions and qualify for potential state construction grants and funding through the School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP). Additionally, we have hired Teeter and Crocker, who will assist us with topics such as enrollment trends, capacity issues, the current state of our educational facilities, and help us come to a consensus on the future of education in our community for the next 30 years, including the types of spaces that are conducive to that vision.

Fall 2025: Staff, students, and families will be invited into an engagement process to explore design concepts, provide feedback, and shape the vision for secondary programming.

December 2025: The School Board will make a decision on how to move forward. Additional information about next steps, opportunities for community input, and the feedback process leading up to the Board’s December decision will be shared in the fall.
