New kind of classroom In the decade since last bond passed, school district turns to more portables as inexpensive, mobile option By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter
It’s been 10 years since voters in the Snoqualmie Valley School District approved a bond to build a school.
Police found a big mess when they encountered a transient camp near the foot of Snoqualmie Parkway earlier this year. The city is considering a camp ban.
Proposed rule: No transient camps in Snoqualmie
While various school levies for maintenance, technology or transportation have passed without a problem, voters have repeatedly withheld support of bonds for new schools since 2003, when they approved construction of Twin Falls Middle School with a $53 million bond. In the past decade, the school district and its surrounding cities have all grown. Enrollment has increased by about 1,000 students.
After police found and demolished two transient camps, Snoqualmie Police Chief Steve McCulley says the time is right for the city to bring its own books up to a Valley-wide standard.
