Northshore School District Bond Improvements Underway

The Northshore School District is actively implementing improvements funded by a $425 million bond approved by voters in February 2022. This funding addresses the urgent need for infrastructure updates, as many of the district's 34 schools are aging, with some facilities being 45 to 50 years old. The bond is allocated for various projects, including new track and field complexes, playgrounds, and the first phase of remodels for Inglemoor High School and Leota Middle School. William Tribble, the director of capital projects, emphasizes that the bond money is essential for maintaining modern educational environments. Safety enhancements, such as security cameras and visitor management systems, will be rolled out across all schools.

Additionally, the bond will address the conversion of portable classrooms into permanent structures, responding to a community task force's recommendations. As the district prepares for a new bond proposal in 2026, they aim to continue delivering on the promises made to voters, demonstrating their commitment to improving facilities and providing quality education.
