What Factors Should CFAC Prioritize in Planning the Next Bond?
Highline’s community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) is developing a recommendation for our next school construction bond.
As members work toward a final recommendation this spring, they want to understand how the community prioritizes key bond planning factors. "We want this recommendation to reflect the priorities of the community,” said CFAC Co-chair Omaha Sternberg. “Gathering wide feedback helps us balance needs, make thoughtful tradeoffs and build a proposal people understand and trust." A community member, Omaha has served on CFAC since 2017 and helped to recommend the successful 2022 school bond.
If approved by the school board and voters, the next bond would fund school replacements and critical maintenance needs across the district.
We invite students, staff, families and community members to review the bond planning factors identified by CFAC and rank them in order of priority. You also will be asked to share which factor you ranked first and why.
This ThoughtExchange closes March 1.

What Happens Next
Community input will be shared with CFAC in early March to help members finalize a bond recommendation.
CFAC plans to present a bond recommendation to the school board this spring, including a proposed package, total cost and estimated property tax impact.
The school board will decide whether to place a bond measure on the November ballot.
