Lake Schools

What's Next?

Thanks to our incredible community, our school construction bond was approved in the February election! With 61.71% voter support, this investment in our schools will bring much-needed improvements, new learning spaces, and enhanced safety across the district.

Over the coming months and years, you’ll see exciting progress on these projects. Here’s what’s happening now and what’s next:

Building for the future

To ensure projects are completed efficiently and cost-effectively, the district is selecting General Contractor/Construction Managers (GC/CM) for our new and modernized school facility projects. This approach—successfully used in the 2016 bond for Lake Stevens High School—allows the contractor to work closely with architects from the start, helping to shape designs, plan construction phases, and control costs.
