The Lake Washington School District Long-Term Facilities Planning Task Force is offering the public an online open house through Jan. 23 to get community input regarding priorities and issues regarding district facilities.
An online open house is available at http://tinyurl.com/qzof9km.
The district task force began its work in December to study, analyze, and make recommendations concerning the district’s long-term facilities needs. The online open house is an ongoing opportunity for community members to be part of the conversation about addressing overcrowding and aging schools.
The online open house will be updated at key milestones. It will stay open until the Task Force makes its final recommendation, expected in June 2015.
Lake Washington School District is one of the fastest-growing school districts in King County with current enrollment at 26,708. It is projected to grow to close to 30,000 by 2021-22. Current classroom space in the district will not accommodate these growing numbers. In addition, the district must address some aging facilities.
Information on the task force’s work is posted on a dedicated webpage (http://tinyurl.com/pectuae) on the school district’s web site (www.lwsd.org). A link to the online open house also is posted there. Those who are interested in following the task force’s work can sign up to receive email updates when additional information or reports are added to the page.
