• Q5: How did you vote on the most recent school bond levy to build a
third middle school?
• Q6: I would vote "yes" on a Spring 2014 $180-190M bond levy that
would fund the following facilities projects: 1. Construct a sixth
elementary school on the land owned by the Snoqualmie Valley
School District near Deer Park on Snoqualmie Ridge to be
completed in 2016. 2. Expand and modernize Mt Si High School to
2100 student capacity to be completed in 2019-2020. 3. Revert the
freshman learning center facility back to a third middle school to be
completed in 2019-2020. This option was presented as Option A in
the school bond focus groups and is the preferred option of the
Snoqualmie Valley School District School Board.
• Q7: I would vote "yes" on a Spring 2014 $30M bond levy just to
construct a sixth elementary school on the land owned by the
Snoqualmie Valley School District near Deer Park on Snoqualmie
Ridge to be completed in 2016.
