A proposed $119.6 million bond would include funds to build an additional 600 student facility adjacent to the current Camas High School site (pictured), and address the school's parking needs. The money would also support the construction of a new Lacamas Heights Elementary School with a 600-student capacity, acquisition of property for future school sites, and renovation and modernization of the Joyce Garver Theater building on Northeast Garfield Street.

The Camas School Board will vote later this month on whether to submit a bond to voters.

Last night, information about the $120 million measure was shared at a board work session to a packed audience.
