Everett school board sends bond, levy measures to Feb. ballot
EVERETT — Everett Public Schools board members voted unanimously on Tuesday to add a bond measure and levy renewal to the February special election ballot, where voters will decide on the two measures separately.
The bond measure, totaling almost $400 million, would pay for a new elementary school in the southern part of the district, which includes the city of Everett, Mill Creek and parts of unincorporated Snohomish County. That school is expected to cost $97.7 million.
If approved, the bond would pay for other projects across the district, including a complete replacement of Lowell Elementary, 12 new permanent elementary classrooms and the replacement of a building at Cascade High School containing the cafeteria, library and the performing arts center. It would also pay for the modernization of the Everett High School vocational building and upgrades to Cascade’s career technical education program.
Other district-wide improvements would include roofing replacements, heating and cooling upgrades, safety upgrades, electrical work and two new synthetic track and fields at middle schools, among other projects.
