Facilities Task Forces continues to refine needs list

The Community Facilities Task Force met this week to review project needs lists and detail its work for the 2017-2018 school year. The group is preparing comprehensive facility improvement information for Walla Walla High School, Pioneer Middle School and Lincoln High School. Task Force members are also prioritizing facilities needs across all district campuses. A public survey will be released in September to get additional feedback on the needs list.

School board members will receive monthly briefings from the Task Force throughout the fall. A recommendation for facility improvement package options is expected to be presented to the school board in December for consideration. Facility improvement package options will then be presented to the community after the winter break for feedback and discussion. Walla Walla Public Schools has set November 2018 as a possible date for a bond election. The district’s existing bond debt will be paid in full in December 2018.
