Program was introduced by Jeff Moore.

 

“State of our Schools”, presented by Ian Saltzman who introduced Mike Gunn, Director of Facilities. 

 

Mike’s video malfunctioned so he told us about the bond issue for $317 million.  It does not include the new high school because the district has determined that it won’t be needed for a few years due to the recent boundaries being moved.  He told us of the facility improvements that were planned, upgrades to 3 elementary schools and Everett HS.  He said that the tax rates would not increase.
