Everett Public Schools could seek bond to fund new school
EVERETT — Everett Public Schools could ask voters to approve a nearly $400 million bond measure to pay for a new school and major renovations across the district, officials said at a board meeting Tuesday.
The new school, a $97.7 million elementary, would be located in the southern part of the district, which includes the city of Everett as well as parts of unincorporated Snohomish County and Mill Creek.
The bond proceeds would also pay for a $90.8 million complete replacement of Lowell Elementary school, as well as 12 new permanent elementary classrooms throughout the district, at a cost of $22 million.
Those elementary improvements are necessary to handle an overcrowding problem across the district’s elementary schools, officials said Tuesday. Across the district’s elementary schools, there are over 100 portable classrooms holding classes every day, said the Everett Public Schools chief operating officer, Larry Fleckenstein.
