2022 Bond
With more than 68 percent voting in favor, the bond is passing! We are grateful to Highline voters for providing for safe and modern learning facilities at Evergreen High School, Tyee High School and Pacific Middle School, as well as funds for critical improvements across the district. Read Superintendent Duran's letter thanking voters and our community.
Proposition 1: Highline Public Schools Bond
Proposition 1--the Highline Public Schools Bond--will continue Highline’s commitment to replace our aging school buildings with schools built to today's safety standards, equipped for today's learning. This bond will rebuild three schools and fund critical improvements across Highline while keeping taxes stable.
The Bond Supports Learning Across Highline
- Equitable access to safe and modern schools
- Districtwide improvements, with stable taxes
- 20-year track record of on-time, on-budget school construction
replace aging schools with safe, modern facilities
- Rebuild Tyee High School
- Rebuild Evergreen High School
- Rebuild Pacific Middle School
- Repair and improve schools districtwide
The bond was developed and recommended by Highline's Capital Facilities Advisory Committee.
Proposition 1 was on the November 2022 ballot. Capital construction bonds required a 60% approval rate by voters. Prop. 1 is passing with more than 68% approval rate (as of November 12).
