Staff and community members from across the district are talking and crunching numbers to finalize priorities and construction budgets for the next school bond.

Our community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) met on February 27. They reviewed photos of the aging buildings they toured and started looking at baseline costs for replacing the three schools that will begin the design process this year. 

Community members spent four hours touring several of our older school buildings on Saturday, February 2.

Deadline extended! High school students now in 9th- and 10th-grade who are affected by boundary changes may opt to stay at their current high school through graduation.

It’s a big ask, but Highline’s volunteer school bond planners are up to the task. Our Capital Facilities Advisory Committee meets each month to work on recommendations for future school construction needs in our district. Find out what they are learning and talking about.

On Wednesday, June 28, the school board adopted a new set of school boundaries within Highline Public Schools. The plan was developed by the community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC). The revised boundaries will take effect fall 2019.

The community-led bond and boundary planning committee for Highline Public Schools presented a recommended set of boundary maps and a list of additional considerations at the June 6, 2018 school board meeting.

Members of the community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) have developed a revised set of boundary maps and school feeder plan. The draft plan incorporates many of the changes suggested by community members.

Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) members met April 25 to begin sifting through feedback, trying alternative boundary suggestions and drafting a revised plan.

Community members took a turn suggesting new school boundary lines at a Boundary Design Session on April 17.

Boundary changes are not easy. The deadline for online feedback is extended to April 20. Find out about the April 17 Boundary Design Session and next steps for the planning committee.

A group of Highline community members shared their proposed districtwide boundary plan at a community meeting on March 14. The draft maps, background information and online feedback tool are now online.

A group of hard-working Highline community members is ready to share their proposed districtwide boundary plan. The group volunteered many hours over several months to craft a boundary map based on data and guiding principles, with the interests of the whole district in mind. The first community meeting is March 14.

Changes are coming in 2019. The time to talk about it and plan for it is now. With two new schools opening in fall 2019, and sixth grade moving to middle school, the district needs to redraw some of the school boundaries. Watch for a community meeting in March.
