“The new schools will address growth projections at both elementary and secondary levels with more traditional classroom space in the Lacamas Elementary replacement and flexible spaces that are planned as part of the two new project-based-learning schools for middle and high school students,” said board chairwoman Mary Tipton. “It is exciting that this work is so quickly underway after the successful bond passage from our community in February.”
Board member Doug Quinn noted that completion of all the bond projects will likely take careful planning and many years to complete.
“It’s evident that we are moving diligently on these projects to respond to the growing needs of students,” he said. “I’m confident that the construction team will produce projects that meet the high expectations of the community.”
