At their January meeting, members of Highline’s community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) reviewed enrollment information, heard bond project updates and planned for building tours.
School Construction
We built the school projects you approved in the 2016 bond to support more of our students with modern learning environments. With approval of the 2022 bond, we will rebuild three more aging schools and make more critical repairs and capital improvements districtwide. Thank you for investing in building and maintaining our schools. We invite you to follow our progress from planning to construction and stay informed.

The estimated tax rate associated with Proposition 1, the Highline Schools Bond, was updated during the first week of October when King County updated its projections for property values. This does not affect the dollar amount homeowners will pay for the bond because voters approve a dollar amount, not a tax rate.
