The Current
january 2013 • 9
January is campaign season in the East Valley School District, as the district’s school board approved a $65 million school bond to go before voters on Feb. 12. The bond calls for improvements to be made throughout the district, including at East Farms, Otis Orchards, Trentwood and Trent elementary schools, Continuous Curriculum School and East Valley High School. A new performing arts center would also be added at the high school.
Two more classrooms will come on line when second semester begins Jan. 28 at Central Valley High School, where a facility designed to house up to 1,600 students serves nearly 2,000. The classrooms are housed in a portable, the second at CVHS, that is being installed this month. In November, the district approved the purchase of the used portable at a total cost to the district of about $100,000.
The holidays were a bit brighter for 76 elementary and middle school students across the Central Valley School District thanks to the generosity of a Liberty Lake business. OpenEye, 23221 E. Knox Ave., which makes digital video security systems, brought the students to the business for a tour and field trip in December. During the visit, students were surprised to learn they would be building a bicycle with an OpenEye employee — a bicycle that they would get to keep. The students were selected by district officials based upon several criteria, including attendance, academic achievement, need and demonstration of PACE characteristics.

The city of Liberty Lake hosted a well-attended open house on Dec. 13 to discuss a proposed roundabout at the junction of Harvard Road, Mission Avenue and the Interstate 90 westbound offramp. The project, slated for the 2013 construction season, is expected to improve safety conditions and traffic flow at the busy intersection.
